I admire Ji’s intellectual strength in applying logic to his argument. I appreciate his values and worldviews, he always adheres to self-respect, dignity, and morality in relation to himself and when he deals with other people. I would not allow anyone to walk all over me. It is a basic human rights to self defense when someone intentionally hurt your emotion or to attack your reputation.

Majority of Thai people is proud of Giles Ungpakorn.

I suspect it came from the audio of the Oxford talk.

Have a listen from the 59 minute point, where there is an exchange that goes something like this:

Question from the floor: If you are born in Thai (or are Thai), why do you speak like that of our king…….

Interjection by someone (possibly the Chair?): ‘He says he’s not Thai, he’s Chinese English’

Giles: ‘I was born in Thailand but the King of Thailand was not born in Thailand, of course’

Have a listen for yourself and form your own opinion.

My opinion is that it just sad that the debate has got down to such a low level!

Did Ji ever actually say anything like this? Can the person citing it (that means you, ‘a Siamese’) – or anyone else – please provide the source for the quote and its context?

I’m a little surprised to hear Ji’s father, Dr. Puey, described as Chinese, but anyway, I’d guess that both Sondhi Limthongkul and Chamlong Srimuang, sons of Chinese immigrant fathers, might agree that you should give the race card a break.

“…the trails you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast…and you will build something that endures; something worthy of your potential.” Epictetus 55-135 A.D.

Thank you Jon and Giles Ungpakorn! I stand by you.

You’re not worth to live in my beloved country…..

Do you think only your Marxist theory right? The others are wrong!!! Please beware it is just your Dithi….

Whoso dose not know dhamma (the universal truth) – must be as you are today.

If you have a problem with Monachy in general, go ahead and try British or Saudi Monachy. You can get promotion to be a hero overnight.

I do not think that you have any hidden agenda on this issue and please do not try to work harder to prove I am wrong.

LM laws actually need not to be reform at all. I have seen lese majeste law caused alot of problems in our society. So, scrape it out ,that all i want to see.

Ananda Mahidol’s death was directly related to the word “Democracy”
and the Lese Majeste Law was exactly intertwined with the death.

Scholars attempt to discuss about political development, freedom of expression, and modernization of the developing country. But the law was created because of Ananda Mahidol’s death. There is something important to hide, so the 24/7 monarchy diverting team needs to divert attention to something else unrelated to the topic.

Apparently then, Manager and its online version, which contain more personal attacks and slanders in a week than Ji could possibly manage in a lifetime, are violating the constitution every day.

Agreed?
