The attachment is Chapter Four of Dr. Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Director of the Institute of Security & International Studies (ISIS) and Associate Professor at Chulalongkorn’s Faculty of Political science, PhD thesis completed in 2001: “The Collapse of Bangkok Bank of Commerce – Bankers, Politicians and Regulators.” Much of Puea Thai’s claimed information that would destabilize the government is probably mentioned in this thesis. The thesis is so detailed, I call it the “Rakesh Saxena Encyclopedia.” It’s Dr. Thitinan’s academic paper with references and footnotes, and not an unsubstantiated essay. Second, it was recognized and given a U.K. national prize as part of PhD thesis. Thitinan’s thesis “Crisis from within: the politics of macroeconomic management in Thailand 1947-97″ had been awarded the 2002 Lord Bryce Prize for Best Dissertation in Comparative and International Politics. So it has some credibility.
Reading through the pages you’ll discover an elaborate networks of corruption between elected politicians of the then-ruling Chart Thai and BBC’s top management revolving around an intricate stock market racket financed by BBC loans. And not less surprising: most of the names you’ll read are still around. Lack of proof? What about culpability and accountability? Who deserves the full force of the law? Need people like Newin and Group of 16 also to be accountable? This is now up to the Thai justice system.
