853 panels but it doesn't say how many people will sit on each panel so it literally it could become the ' cast of thousands '.

Will they be allowed to hire family members as aides and advisors ?

I wonder if any of those who fall in lust quickly will take anything from the statement ' only saw him as a customer ' ?

Unfortunate old story though with mum seeing  her daughter as a way to make money and age doesn't come into it.

A doubly expensive flight perhaps but one that will be easily explained away, any further questions ?

Yes he's daring, challenging people to take this further, take him on and typifies his and his administration's arrogance but there again he knows he holds all the cards and has no hesitation playing them.

The UN has no need to worry as they'll never be asked, LoS doesn't need advice on anything and least of all from an organisation that isn't even a relative.

As ever he'll be reserving the right to act as he sees fit in ' the best interests '  of ... ?

Oh sorry, am I supposed to put ' the country ' in the blank space ? 

He'll give all details or will that be all details that have been carefully scripted and sanitized as appropriate ?

What's released will prove conclusively that the expenses were above board and justified but whether it's believed it not is a totally different question.

However the junta speaks and that's an end to it.

Of course he's frustrated as he's being asked questions he can't or won't answer and that amounts to criticism of him which is totally unacceptable.

All the cases to be wrapped up in a month but final disposition, if any, could take years, if at all.

Grab publicity then file and forget.

They were attending a security conference so I would expect the passenger list is a state secret.

If it wasn't before it will be now as some of the names on it would likely be highly suspect.

Those in a position to seriously reform the law won't because it works just fine for them.

In addition, the last National Police Chief assured LoS has the best police force in the world.

It ain't broke etc.

Nothing to worry about and little action until the ' water waiting to drain away ' starts to really threaten Bkk.

You believe an incarcerated person should be allowed leave, from incarceration? 

I asked a question I didn't state my belief. Did you not see the ? after the sentence ?

I can't speak for Thailand but prisoners being taken out under escort isn't exactly unheard of.

There have been reported instances of prisoners here getting special privileges depending on who they are of course. 

Did the official also conveniently tell the DSI that the deceased had been in a distressed, confused state of mind recently and positively suicidal ?

I'm a career teacher (educated, trained, and qualified in the UK / NZ), I have worked in education at multiple levels on multiple continents. and imho I think it is a stretch to even begin to claim there are hard and fast ways to train students to tackle multiple choice exams, anything above and beyond standard / focused revision anyways.

This event just looks hollow, a textbook case of style over substance. Unless of course these exams being rolled out nationwide are seeking qualitative answers from students (which is highly unlikely) it is a textbook exercise in futility

During my time in Hong Kong I had to sit quite a few professional exams and at the very start of my career the expats in  our training class were warned not to expect exams as we  might know them so no narratives with the question using words like discuss, explain, consider etc.

He explained that our Chinese colleagues had been educated as if sponges and they simple soaked up information, facts etc and could regurgitate them with almost total accuracy but it didn't mean they understood what they were writing so asking them to ' discuss' was a non-starter.

Perhaps this is an attempt to appear accountable by responding to social criticism? Feeble but an attempt nonetheless.

 

 

At the very, very best there may be some vague statement that it could have been done better but no major problem, no loss to the taxpayer and no one is at fault.

The junta' s procurement dept is ordering more whitewash to deal with all the spurious allegations that have surfaced recently.

Auditor - General can investigate whatever they want.

We do not care, we do what we want, spend what we want.

 We are unaccountable/ untouchable.

They peasants are revolting...so... no matter. Let them, maybe we will throw them a few scraps just to shut them up.

Prime Minister, General, breaking news, the peasants are revolting !

Oh pleaasse, tell me something I don't know.

Disgraceful, she ended a sentence with a preposition !

They don't half get themselves worked up over some things don't they yet issues that might be seen as really important, serious are ignored.

Integrity, now that'd be a fresh concept.

A new addition to the Thai Dictionary of Words That Don't Exist  which already contains words such as responsibility, ethics, morality, transparency etc.

Not yet

He's left the door open with the line about a govt acting with integrity is unlikely to be overthrown.

Never say never, especially here as the facts are against you.

There's quite a few things they Must Stop or at least would be well advised to BUT that's

End of Story !

Another so called ' investigation ' that will go nowhere.

The PM has, surprise surprise,  said all was above board so who is going to argue with that ?

Another less than shinning example of this lot having absolutely no shame as befits how they see themselves and their position.

He couldn't be taken there under escort ?

It's a wonder they didn't invite the senior monk they have a special interest in

Hr wouldn't have had to worry about being arrested, they don't go in for that sort of thing.
