Gone are days when cyber-scam compounds ran solely on #forcedlabour of #Chinese victims of #humantrafficking.. compounds now seek young who speak English.. Te fin'al victims of te ⏫️ly sophisticated #scams are #global"

"Previous #investigations — by #Reuters in 2019 & #GlobalWitness in 2016 — hv documented how te #Hunfamily & its associates hv amassed vast personal #fortunes to te detriment of te #country #Cambodia.. With traditional sources of revenue such as te exploitation of #naturalresources & granting of land #concessions depleted by years of #systemic #corruption, te #regime has grown increasingly reliant on these #criminal enterprises"

Only courts can deal with Thugsin
"The #rally at Victory Monument on Sat to demand resignation of PM #Paetongtarn resembled te " #Bangkok #Shutdown" held in 2014.. The size of the crowd was estimated by #police in the tens of thousands.. bigger than #rallies held by te "3-finger" movement during Prayuth Chan-o-cha.. she's completely #unfit to lead #Thailand as te head of the executive branch bec of her #immaturity, inexperience, #political #illiteracy & lack of knowledge"

Yes. It's still Taksin's game. I guess he will find another puppet who won't have the Shinawatra name. But the winners of the last election were not allowed to govern. And when there is another election they will win again. Last time, PTP was a compromise that won't work again.
