Ambassador Ras objected to the ex-president of Sri Lanka for 90 days Saddon pleads for diplomatic passport not very smart
On August 12, reporters reported that Mr. Rat Chaleechan The owner of the ambassador page Former Thai ambassador commented on the arrival of the former Sri Lankan president exile from the country following being expelled Before staying in Thailand temporarily, stating that in the case of the former president of Sri Lanka and the ignorance of the Thai authorities as usual
An FC asked to speak regarding Kotabaya Rajapaksa, a former president of Sri Lanka, who quietly sneaked into Thailand last night. So I would like to make a few observations.
First of all, the matter that the Thai authorities accept to enter I can understand. Because Sri Lanka is a friendly country and has good relations with Thailand. Which I understand that the Sri Lankan government will also have requests.
As for Mr. Kota Baya, he chose to come to Thailand. instead of many other countries In addition to good relationships and being a Buddhist city together He probably saw that the current Thai government is not a government that takes into account the voices or the needs of the people. in which he was right.
In fact, Thailand doesn’t get much from this. Especially if one day there was a change of power in Sri Lanka where people are now angry with the Rajapaksa family.
But anyway, let’s talk regarding humanitarian principles. But to explain that Mr. Kota Baya can enter Thailand because of that diplomatic passport It’s a very ridiculous joke. I don’t know if the speaker really doesn’t know or thinks that other people don’t know.
regarding that immigration It is the right and power of that country to allow anyone to enter or not enter the country. Regardless of the type of passport you hold Even holding a diplomatic passport, we can refuse if we consider that it will do more harm than good to enter. Such an explanation should not come out of a person responsible for foreign affairs. It doesn’t look very smart.
Next, I disagree with granting a passport validity of up to 90 days, considering it too long. Considering that the Thai authorities should take into account both the feelings of the Thai people that no one else would welcome this person. including the burden of Thai authorities to take care of security (Which costs from tax) because it can’t be released at all. What happens will not be nice to our country. (Information from the security department also believes that at present there is a group of former Tamil Elam LTTE terrorists secretly embedded in Thailand. and which is a problem that may be waiting for the account of Mr. Gotabaya) and most importantly, the Thai government should take into account the feelings of the Sri Lankan people.
I see that in humanitarian terms One to two weeks of stay in Thailand was enough for Mr. Gotabaya. can continue to contact other sources of shelter And it’s easy to think that if staying is good, there’s no problem. Why did Mr. Gotabaya To leave Singapore?
Providing a stay in Thailand for up to 90 days is a very ignorant mistake by the Thai authorities. We hardly got anything from now on. because no one admires Mr. Kota Baya And in the past, the Thai authorities have done very bad things regarding human rights. Regardless of the Uighurs Mr Hakeem, a Bahraini footballer Repatriation of Cambodian Refugees and many more Just this does not make the current Thai government look any better.
The last thing I want to say is I commend the Sri Lankan soldiers for their discipline. be a professional soldier that no matter how bad the leader will cheat He let it follow the legal and democratic way. Not to intervene in a crazy coup like other countries around here.
which if the coup can really solve cheating or anything By now we are probably a superpower country.
