Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung has abused his authority and served ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra's interests, Democrat MP Sathit Wongnongtoey charged.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung during the no-confidence debate in parliament. Ms Yingluck, Mr Chalerm, Defence Minister ACM Sukumpol Suwanatat and Deputy Interior Minister Pol Lt Gen Chatt Kuldiloke were grilled by the opposition during the debate. NATTHITI AMPRIWAN

Mr Chalerm, who is in charge of the Royal Thai Police, had behaved poorly in public and seemed incapable of distinguishing his boss's interests from those of the public he should be serving, Mr Sathit told the no-confidence debate in parliament yesterday.

I have never met a Thai who actually respects or approves of the role of the Thai police
force in society. I'm sure some are very dedicated.

Never seen a poll on whether Thais approve of the way the police force carry out their duties.

I love this catch all phrase 'politically motivated because of the coup'. You've yet to give us convincing proof, any proof, that the trials against Thaksin did not meet international standards. If anything the policing does not meet international standards. Chalerm and the police are like to peas in a pod. You can't get stripped of police rank for being convicted of a crime but you can lose your army rank for failing to produce an original copy signature 25 years later.

Thaksin had not affected the dignity of the police.

Dignity a work that should not be used in the same sentence with police and/ or thaksin
