Parliament 8 Oct. - "Rome" is angry that the government is not handling the "Tak Bai" problem, slamming "Phumtham" for lacking maturity. Rangsiman Rome, MP for the party list and deputy leader of the Prachachon Party, said about the government's handling of the Tak Bai case that if we are going to resolve the conflict, it is not just like what Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Phumtham Vejjayachai said, sitting on a tower and looking down. We have always used this method, like the way he has always answered me in the parliament. The problem continues to linger. Now it is time for us to build confidence in the people in the area that if you are under the law of Thailand, there will be no double standards. You will receive justice and importance. I understand that Thailand has immediate problems, but we must not make the people feel that one problem is more important or discriminate. Mr. Rangsiman emphasized that the answer to the question about this case is the answer that the Pheu Thai Party wants to see, ending with Gen. Pisal Wattanawongkiri, the party-list MP, accepting the decision. As for the legal case, who will be held liable and how will it be handled? But what must be answered clearly is, in the end, does the government have any duties? The government needs to use this opportunity to build trust, and we must not forget that this matter cannot be viewed only by this government. We must look back to the Thai Rak Thai Party government. We know how the Pheu Thai Party came to be. During the election, Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, put up a message on the board herself about how the Pheu Thai Party came to be. 'I ask that on the day of the Tak Bai incident, the starting point was since the morning of October 25, 2004, Mr. Thaksin himself gave an interview saying that he was playing golf. I understand that day was a holiday. Mr. Thaksin had the right to play golf. But we all know that the Tak Bai incident occurred after the gun robbery. Krue Se is a sensitive matter . When the protests started, couldn't you have stopped playing golf to follow this matter closely? Moreover, if you had known that this matter would last a long time, when there were protests, violent crowd control, clashes, and deaths, wouldn't you have been able to do your duty closely to follow this matter?' Mr. Rangsiman asked. Mr. Rangsiman said emotionally that from morning until 1 am, when the incident occurred, Mr. Thaksin had plenty of time to closely solve this problem. Therefore, it is a question that society has been wondering about, that the government since the Thai Rak Thai Party has never given importance to the people in the area, and now they are feeling the same way again with the Pheu Thai Party government, which was led by the father before, but now she is the daughter. I think it is necessary, if we want to put out the southern fire, we must solve this problem. We tried to talk about this matter directly, to speak to express the emotions and feelings of the people who feel it, but what we got was no answer. 'It has become that you want to show your maturity, trying to act calm, but this issue has no answer for society. The best mature answer from a minister is an answer with substance. The problem is that Mr. Phumtham is a person who has no maturity at all to be deputy prime minister and look after security. It is unbelievable that he himself has been through a violent incident before and let this issue fade away,' said Mr. Rangsiman.-319 - Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
