Apirak stands by
decision to axe posters - TRT 'slandered' city, complaint to EC laid
- Bangkok Post, July 13, 2006
...He said Mr Ratthapol ordered certain posters to be torn down on
the grounds that they contained content slanderous to the Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration (BMA), and did not carry information identifying who published
them.
...''This is boring. We should spend time campaigning constructively,
highlighting each party's policy,'' he said.
...Deputy BMA spokesman Thanom Onketpol said Mr Ratthapol has ordered
all 50 district offices in Bangkok to remove all campaign posters carrying
slanderous content against the BMA from the streets. These posters do
not carry the identity of their publishers, nor the number of any election
candidate, he said...
Row over campaign posters heads to court - The Nation, July
13, 2006
...Rattapol said he ordered 50 district offices to remove those posters
that did not carry the names or numbers of candidates but merely mudslinging
messages.
More than 1,400 posters were removed from 28 districts...

July 13 - Offending posters begin to be modified
in various ways
Left: The original sign with party and candidate
numbers added
Below right: A panel stapled over the middle of the sign
reads: Water is musty in the canal - Lots of mosquitos
Below left: A panel stapled over the middle of the sign
(in Thai Rath headline-style font) reads: Prior arrangements
to buy fire fighting vehicles rumoured losing 5000 million baht
in tax revenue
It is peculiar that the signs were modified like
this at the same time BMA is announcing it will sue TRT over these
messages.
July 14 - The panels on the posters below have been removed.
