Only yesterday you yourself declared that you are a good practising buddhist (though nobody would say that about you). From this statement we can realise what a pip squeak humbug you have been made by the Masters of this regime.

Why you scared for the truth to be told to the people. The government is not a private property as you think

And give only free hand for the government media to sling mud at "Chief Justice". Recently we see a renoun thug who give cut out to media intimidating and insulting the chief justice. Where does the ruler take this country to? It is a shame on the ruler. The law abiding citizen silently watch for the right time.

Funny enough, he did not think of "guidelines" when releasing the list of unproven charges agaisnt the Chief Justice to print and other media to create sensationalism and wrong ideas in the minds of the people. Come on, enough of this cheap drama.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We should think only one thing. its a fate of injustice judgement for justice cases. So let Cj also face and see how painful and stressfull it is.

All this a waste of public funds... politicians, public servants including the CJ should all be ashamed of their conduct.... everyone is for themselves only.
