Caught with Your Pants Down

What are you going to do if you are caught with your pants down? I just thought about looking at certain people in our society to see their response, and here are some conclusions I found:

Response#1 - Categorically Deny it Ever Happened ...

Chalerm Promlert - Ex Thailand Senator who denied emphatically that he never had sex with underage girls and was a very morally sound person as he regularly gave alms to temples. Later he was sentenced to jail to the maximum extend allowed by law after being found guilty.

Response#2 - Make Light of the Situation?

Prayuth Mahakitsiri - TRT executive who was detected lying about his total assets claimed that his Wife hid some money in case of a rainy day (e.g. he decided to divorce her) and that was why he didn't know about some of the missing money in his asset declaration. He was later found guilty and was bar from having a role in politics for 5 years.

Response#3 - Look at the Big Picture!

Thaksin Shinawatra- PM of Thailand who transfered huge amount of money to servants to hide a huge part of his asset. He claimed that it has nothing to do with his credibility and pointed that he wanted to do for the good for the country and didn't want this problem to derail his efforts. He narrowly won the court case, a clear case of double standard when considering the Prayuth Mahakitsiri and Sanan Kachornprasart were banned from political office for 5 years considering their similarity in offenses. At this moment, the PM is embroiled in a number of key major scandals.

Response#4 -Its the Latest Technological Innovation!

Transport authorities at Suvarnabhumi airport - At the construction site of the Suvarnabhumi airport, there were reports of huge cracks on the construction of the runway. To allay the fears, the PM hired a group of US engineers to inspect the cracks. The team resoundedly recommended a full reconstruction. Later the PM went out with the transport minister along with people from a local engineering association and told reporters it was normal, and it was a latest building technological innovation and nothing was worrisome. Somehow I just thought for the moment it might be fashionable to have cracks in the runway ;)
