“… the new police chief, Police General Priewpan Damapong, is the most suitable person for this task because he is professional, decisive, and trustworthy.”
Why does any law need to be passed. The previous regime shut down anything it wanted without any reason without changing any laws. I also cant remember anyone at the Nation standing up for freedom of speech and complaining about government censoreship when that was happening.
Personally I believe in allowing freedom of speech for all political persuasions whether red or yellow or nutty or unprofessional or professional. There are however certain ironies in this report that cant pass without comment
Suthichai Yoon certainly has reasons to fear that the Nation newspaper he has control for many years will be closed down by the new police chief under the amended Printing Act.
But did he voice any protest or fear when the military-backed Abhisit govt closed down websites and community radio stations ? This is the obvious example of a senior journalist’s double-standard stand, whose photo even NM prefers not to show in full. Has any NM reader seen Suthichai’s photo enjoying cool drinks together with Abhisit beside the swimming pool? Ok, let me open notthenation right now.
1. We already have “defamation by publication” (р╕лр╕бр╕┤р╣Ир╕Щр╕Ыр╕гр╕░р╕бр╕▓р╕Чр╣Вр╕Фр╕вр╕Бр╕▓р╕гр╣Вр╕Жр╕йр╕Ур╕▓) in Thai Penal Code (р╕Ыр╕гр╕░р╕бр╕зр╕ер╕Бр╕Ор╕лр╕бр╕▓р╕вр╕нр╕▓р╕Нр╕▓). Adding this stuff to Printing Act likes adding lese majeste to Computer Crime Act.
2. Politicians and corrupted officials are playing to much with the laws so that the system is not functioning correctly. Too many laws are still in the system but no one has enforced it for ages. Those in power just issues new laws that they can use immediately and easily.
Thailand needs a law reform framework like ALRC. This is for the long-term future of the country.
3. FYI: Sutichai Yoon’s newspaper was called “The voice of the nation” but it was closed down/censored during the Black May 1992.
He has another registered title called “The Nation”. I guess it was common like we have several domains for websites today (e.g. we have anu.edu as well as anu.edu.au and you can even send an email to anu.edu domain!). When one is closed down or blocked, we may move to the other. In the same way, Mr Yoon migrated to the new title, “The Nation” in 1992.
While I agree with much of Suzie Wong’s complaint (c2), giving a state-appointed official – and a Police Chief at that – powers to suspend publication is a very slippery slope….. even allowing that his decisions could presumably be tested in the courts.
For sure, the present US Democrat administration must be at least inconvenienced by what’s cranked out relentlessly from Fox News – just as its Republican predecessor was with what’s cranked out by MSNBC; but I think neither would attempt to muzzle those TV channels even if it were allowed by the constitution.
I don’t know the solution for Thailand. Tempting to think that obliging the hostile press to print the government’s rebuttal of obvious misrepresentation might strike a useful balance – but even that flies in the face of the basic principles of press freedom.
Should we be surprised that this regime is attempting to sneak this into legislature during times of national crisis? This is just another one of Thaksin’s stabs at our supposed freedom of speech. First it was about cleaning up TV shows, then it was all about censoring the internet, then this party used libel and defamation lawsuits and violence to silence any dissent.
This party will have a good stranglehold on Thailand for the coming years. This government will siphon as much cash out of the reconstruction projects as it can while continuing to infringe on human rights. Even the army won’t bother with a coup, as they will have to clean up this mess.
In my opinion, what is remarkable is the relative scarcity of causal claims linking floods to deforestation in the English Press in Thailand over the last few years (with the exception of the letters to the editor section). This is the case not only for the current floods, but also for many flooding events last year and two years ago, in particular those where the area flooded was located directly downstream from what could only be labelled good quality forest (ex: Khao Yai NP).
A few months ago, I did a little analysis with my endnote database, which suppported this view.
If I understood correctly an allusion made last month in Toronto, this view is also shared by a certain scholar with whom you have recently worked.

It is the weather change and the massive amount of rainfall. Talk to any planner and they will “plan” for 50 years rain or in a worst case scenario 100 years rain. Which means the highest rainfall in a 50 year period or 100 years period.
The current rainfall (please look at earlier post on rainfall) has blast the 50 years / 100 years rain to smithereens
Sunai: Can you say more? What you have here isn’t clear for me.
Yous say the “National Police Chief will have power to prohibit publication, distribution, import, or import for distribution of printing material deemed offensive to the monarchy institution or undermining national security, public order, or “good morals”. Violation of the National Police Chief’s order regarding such prohibition will result in a three years imprisonment, a fine no more than 100,000 baht, or both.”
As I understand it, during the last administration, there were many cases where publications were prohibited. So what, specifically, is different in this draft amended law?
You say the “amendment will add further punishment to what stipulated in Article 112 (lese majeste) and Article 116 (sedition) of the Penal Code.” Given that sedition carries the death sentence and LM up to 15 years jail on each instance, I don’t follow the “add further punishment.
I am concerned that, after the widest censorship regime in recent history, Thailand may have more censorship. However, I don’t yet understand this amendment, especially when Suthichai’s account is mainly political rhetoric.
[…] rain, the above normal rain started in April/May for the North – see this New Mandala post – and you can see from overall rainfall throughout Thailand (of course, not all of this […]
This posting raises several important issues about the treatment of prisoners of war and blogging. In the initial post, the well-intended blogger raises the question of whether the POW’s image should be publicized, but then throws caution to the wind and posts the video on the well-trodden New Mandala website. An anonymous poster notes that the entry of the prisoner’s image into the public sphere may provide protection. But protection from whom? The Burmese tatmadaw does not take kindly to its soldiers being taken prisoner. Moreover, the anonymous blogger, boldly proffers that the prisoner may be in danger given the KIA’s lack of “POW camp facilities, and possibly unable to hold territory consistently.”
From only one fuzzy “snap shot”, these blog entries extrapolate much about the complex issue of prisoners of war in Burma. This discussion benefits from a more contextualized, granular analysis that mentions the recent prisoner exchanges that occurred between the KIA and tatmadaw and the existence of a KIA prisoner detention center in Laiza.
Finally, the initial posting suggests that the footage is the result of an “unforeseen quirk of technology and history” and puts forth the important question of what happens next to the solider. Following this commendable line of inquiry, I would expand the range of questioning to not only consider the tatmadaw’s practices of taking prisoners of war but also take a step back from the question of what happens next and ask what happened. Unlike the KIA, which operates on a regional level, the tatmadaw has engaged in brutal counter-insurgency across Burma of which little is know of the fate of insurgent POWs. I think it is worth considering that this video clip of the KIA, rather than the tatmadaw, coming to light has more to do with the varying levels of secrecy in which the KIA and the tatmadaw operate, than technological innovations. I venture that one is far more likely to find a video camera among the ranks of the KIA, than that of the tatmadaw. The tatmadaw does its dirty work under a coordinated cloak of secrecy. Moreover, the tatmadaw has repeatedly shown its commitment to persecute anyone, especially its members, who publicizes its impunity.
My intention is not to reify a simplistic, Manichean view of the noble freedom fighter versus the monstrous tatmadaw, but instead to raise the important issues of informed blogging and the rights of all prisoners of war in Burma, regardless of their affiliation.
Didn’t the Thai government end logging in the country in the late 1980s as well? One would think that this drastic measure might have mitigated some of the effects of the floods. Of course that wouldn’t account for the loss of forests due to agriculture or urbanization, but it should have made some major difference.
I think Pheu Thai Party realized about free speech abuse, when they become goverment. The past experience teach them to learn about necessity to prevent same spear stab themself. This law provide for preventive democracy abuse like US. did with wikileak similary.
I support the Puea Thai Party’s leadership in the attempt to solve one of the most difficult political problems in Thailand – the Thai newspapers. In addition, the new police chief, Police General Priewpan Damapong, is the most suitable person for this task because he is professional, decisive, and trustworthy.
It is time to bring the Thai newspapers up to journalistic standards. While other countries have newspapers that committed to truthfulness and accuracy, many Thai newspapers – the Nation, Thairath, the Bangkok Post, the Manager, and on and on – twist facts and arouse hatred. For example the newspaper “the Nation” has been reporting news with political agenda instead facts; as a result, there is counter-newspaper named “Not the Nation.”

What’s going on with the Thai Printing Act?
I support the Puea Thai Party’s leadership in the attempt to solve one of the most difficult political problems in Thailand – the Thai newspapers. In addition, the new police chief, Police General Priewpan Damapong, is the most suitable person for this task because he is professional, decisive, and trustworthy.
It is time to bring the Thai newspapers up to journalistic standards. While other countries have newspapers that committed to truthfulness and accuracy, many Thai newspapers – the Nation, Thairath, the Bangkok Post, the Manager, and on and on – twist facts and arouse hatred. For example the newspaper “the Nation” has been reporting news with political agenda instead facts; as a result, there is counter-newspaper named “Not the Nation.”
