Thai court removes PM Srettha Thavisin for gross ethics violation

Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday (Aug 14) dismissed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for "grossly" violating ethics by appointing a minister who had served jail time, raising the spectre of political upheaval and a shakeup in the governing alliance.

Wow.. the Court in Thailand so powerful. Can remove PM. I remember last time one of our ex PM removed the Court judges!! I guess more democracy in Siamland than Bolehland

[cherubimcherubim]

Only in Thailand court and army can remove a Prime minister.

Justice is a little late, but never be absent. No culprit can avoid punishment, is a matter of time

[MDin]

WOW the Thailand have constitutional court that can preside on Thai Prime Minister conduct. That is awesome. Justice prevails in Thailand. Congratulations. In Malaysia the Attorney General that was appointed by PM, can decide not to prosecute our Deputy Prime Minister despite got 47 court cases pending and the court already determine that the 47 cases were prima facie, but the prosecution team pull out the case at the eleventh hours. So, crime can be committed and still can walk freely here :)😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😒😒

Here thieves are pardoned and sent home to be prisoned. What a joke. It's all ok.

[WeezyTeevy]

Come on Thailand.. grow up! Gross ethics violation??? Malaysia has plenty yet still unchanged.
Just DNAA all or any Prima Facie cases. Just get your AG to say "I don't feel like pursuing the case anymore, I'm just tired is all..."
Be like Malaysia.

This sends a powerful message that even a PM cannot get scot-free after committing mischief. What an excellent check-and-balance mechanism in place in Thailand.

In Malaysia ex convict is now PM and also appointed Deputy PM with 47 corruption cases.

[changjohn]

In Malaysia, you can be PM forever. You call all shots and make all decisions to your liking.

[ehf]

That's real court would mean.. bravo thailand.. respect..

[choysum]

Feels staged. To make way for the one that the family wants.

[pikachu]

That would be very good thing if Malaysian court have the power to remove PM and DPM like in

[walteoh]

Begitu sekali Prime Minister di eject ???😮

[AbuBakarBinOthman-gxgy]

He got nothing to be ashamed off. He is a humble billionaire who wants to help his people n prospered the country from notorious cartel capitalist n power crazy politicians/militarist regime.

What a peculiar law whereby a court could remove a sitting PM from his post. I thought in any democracy there the doctrine of power separation where judiciary cannot in any way interfere with executive. Different land different types of law maybe but personaly this is rubbish.

[johnthe]

Finally gone 👍 Next is the corrupted throne.

[jefferi]

this is more like political assasination than ethical dismissal.

[sfaiz]

Thailand neighbor malaysia appoint twice ex convict as PM. What a joke
