PT demands PM, Suthep, Anupong 'out'

The opposition Puea Thai Party on Wednesday morning submitted a petition to Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Boondej seeking the removal from office of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban and army chief Gen Anupong Paojinda for alleged malfeasance under Article 270 of the constitution.

The petition, signed by 175 Puea Thai MPs, was submitted to Mr Prasopsuk by opposition chief whip Witthaya Buranasiri.

Mr Witthaya said the opposition MPs had long monitored the government's handling of the rally of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD).

He said Mr Abhisit, Mr Suthep and Gen Anupong had ordered armed soldiers to break up the UDD protesters without care for their safety or damage to public property.

WTF ..... does he knows what he's talking abt ???
even a 3 yrs kid can tell who is doing more damages to their country ...
and this joker is the appointed opposition chief ...
no wonder all the leaders in thailand r a joke ...

Moderate Red leaders have surrendered to the authorities around 2pm this afternoon. But the fight is far from over. Now rampaging mobs of hardcore Reds & anarchists are running wild.

1) Bomb reported at Siam Square.
2) Din Daeng/Vic Monumnet still burning.
3) Channel 3 is off the air coz HQ has been invaded.
4) 7-11's in trouble spots being looted.
5) Thai TV showing big building next to Channel 3 on fire.
6) Bus & taxi companies have stopped or limited operations.
7) Unconfirmed reports that Central World also attacked.

Media are barred from entry to areas where there are still fighting so hard to assess what is happening now. Just came back from a late lunch. Streets are quite with few buses running and cars on the roads. Ordinary Thais have been advised to go back early. Banks, shops & supermarkets are closed or closing as I'm typing this.

CRES announced a new curfew in Bangkok from 2000HRS to 0600HRS - dunno if it is thru out the capital or selected areas.

Bros in Bangkok r advised to stay indoors until the situation is more clear or the army takes full control of the anarchy. The defeated Reds are venting their anger now so there is some anxiety on the streets of Bangkok now as people try to catch whatever transport left to go home.

OK heres a more official news release on the situation now. Curfew in Bangkok is citywide. There are reports of up to 15 sites in Bangkok that are burning!

Arsonists rampaged in downtown Bangkok on Wednesday afternoon, setting fire to buildings and shopping centres, after the core leaders of the United front for democracy against Dictatorship surrendered and announced an end to the protest rally at Ratchaprasong intersection.

Fires were reported at Central World department store in Ratchaprasong, Siam Theatre at Siam Square, the Paragon shopping centre and branches of commercial banks nearby.

Fighting between troops and protesters, and explosions, were reported throughout the area.

At the Sala Daeng intersection on Rama IV Road, rampaging protesters destroyed telephone booths, advertising signs, traffic signs and other public property.

The Bangkok Post building in nearby Klong Toey was evacuated shortly before 3pm as a mob advanced from the Rama IV intersection to Five Ways and down the narrow Na Ranong road leading to the Post building about 200 metres away.

The Post building also houses the Bangkok Post's sister newspaper, the Thai-language Post Today.

TV Channel 3, which is based nearby on Rama IV Road in the Maleenont Building was also off the air.

Reports quoted staff at the TV station saying their building had been attacked by red-shirt protesters.

One staffer said cars parked outside the building were set on fire and protesters then entered the Channel 3 building.

The 6th floor of Maleenont Building and the Klong Toey office of the Bangkok Metropolitan Electricity Authority were also reported tobe on fire.

Red-shirts also set fires at the Stock Exchange of Thailand building, reports said.

Red-shirt mobs also set fire to the provincial halls in Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, in the Northeast of the country, reports said.

Hello Mr James Bond, I hope u can read this and not got arrested for breaking the curfew. Heard its a BHT40,000 fine if u r caught breaking curfew. Best stay indoors coz army & police have "shoot on sight" orders. Plz update us here on the situation over at Rachada.

Bangkok not exciting enuff u got 2 go to Red Heartland?

Central World is totally gutted. Local news reports that the building is in danger of collapse! It was blazing the whole day and only stopped a few hours ago. According to the Bangkok Post, the Siam Theatre at Siam Square also suffered the same fate.


Also unconfirmed reports that Pattaya also shut down early this evening. Reports mentioned 7-11's & shops but dunno about the bars & go-gos.

The air over Bangkok was filled with the arid smell of burning plastic & black smoke the whole day. This is the first curfew I've ever experienced. Very strange not hearing the sounds of the traffic outside. Juz hope that the city will be alright when day breaks.

Thanks for the concern. I've hunkered down in my apartment since 5pm watching DVDs and the news. What about u? Didn't hear from u laz few dayz. Your place right in the middle of all that action right? U in Spore now or somewhere safer?

[phallus]

Just my concern too, wish all the Bros currently 'reporting live' from Kon Kaen, Chiangmai, Bkk etc. well and safe and thanks for keeping us posted with updates faster than our own CNA !

And just heard from breaking news now 'Big C' supermarket in Rajdamri (opp central world) was torch this morning and fire ramp thru' 2nd floor !

I was there just last mth during the rally and went to 'Big C' to use the toilet as their management is kind enough to open up the washrooms for the red shirts to use despite everyone in that area close shop.... and now this unkindness happen !

Don't know which group could be setting fires over so many buildings or maybe a small portion of red shirts had somehow become insane and lost their sense.

Hope this area get clean up fast business return to norm.
