It is pretty obvious to most expats that corruption is endemic to this society from the lowest levels to the highest, Everones seems to agree that this should end. The problem is that almost everone is guilty. Prehaps giving National reconcilation a try would work. everyone owns up to past inscretion. No penalty will be involved. But corruption would not be tolerate from such adate. Just a thought?

If he does not jump into a flame, somebody just gives him a bullet. The sooner, the better.

Samak said,
" There is no other country media who calls own prime minister as Rai-Yang-Ai - "Shameless".

The interpretation " Shame on you !" is little different in terms of liguistic nuance. This exclamation means " you should know your shame !".

However, "Shameless !" means, " you are a person who does not know own shame.".

The former is to mean there is still, a chance to recover the shameless, but the latter is the hopelessness or too late to be recovered.
Samak is in this condition.

Now he prepares himself with gasoline soaked overcoat over his body and get ready to jump into a flame.
If not Kamikaze dash.

Even on the technicality of the law, he was wrong. Such type of careless or intentional mistakes can be done onlyt by this governemnt, not by a battery of experts like Countter Corruption Committee. His message to his rural consitituency is The PM you ellected is humiliated this harsh way by the Bangkok based press who are always against governemnts which is serious about your well-being. So his masochistic approach will be accepted in differnet ways in different constituencies. Some sympathy in the country, disdain in the city. My oppinon is that he deserves the head-line.
