THAILAND's ruling party has urged Thaksin Shinawatra, deposed Prime Minister, to leave Thailand's political stage after top court had seized more than half of his frozen assets, found to have been gained through policy corruption while he was in office. The ruling party has expressed that if Thaksin Shinawatra leaves the political stage, his supporters will also leave, alleviating the political situation in Thailand. The "Red Shirts" as they are called because of their fanciful dressing, have held numerous street rallies since Thaksin's overthrow. Thaksin is currently in self-exile in Dubai, trying to avoid a two-year jail term for corruption.
What if I was Thaksin?
Being a person who goes with the right way, I would definitely withdraw from the political stage in Thailand. Furthermore, with my atrocities in the past, I had betrayed my birth country. This is definitely not what I was looking forward to when I assumed office. Even if I continue with my self-exile, I would not be able to return to my country. It has been four years since this political war had been started by me, had I not commited those atrocities, it would have been a smooth sailing journey when I assumed office. It was because of my bloodthirsty search for wealth to the expense of the unrest that had been happening over the four years. I would definitely not be able to sleep in this drowning guilt.
