Saudi Arabia to end flogging as form of punishment

While Saudi Arabia has made tremendous and progressive strides towards the 14th century….they are still quite fond of traditional blood sports. Beheading, amputation, and crucifixion for those found guilty of outrageous offenses like Apostasy, Homosexuality, Blasphemy, Witchcraft, and Sorcery still remain wildly popular. With all that other exciting Islamic entertainment on offer...they won't miss flogging one bit.

Don’t be too upset…a lot of people expect success to be handed to them and never figure out how to work for it.

I imagine there are many rich Thais on Samui who benefit from these poor migrant workers. 

Shame on them for snitching

Don’t be so hard on them, they're hurting too. Remember, they’ve just had to send all of their money to Bangkok...to support the relief fund for the nation’s over-worked and severely impoverished generals.

Imagine if the situation proves that funds are not there anymore? Memories of '97 itch my rear.

Wouldn't it be funny if Mr. Big changed the combination to the vault while the general wasn't looking.

This whole "Give us money, we are poor and the buffalo is sick" could certainly be a lot more believable. Maybe if if the general announced he would contribute….say….one month’s worth of his own salaries, commissions, fees, incentives, service charges, management bonuses, stock options, expense accounts. miscellaneous brown envelopes,  etc, etc (maybe a few billion Baht or so) to a general relief fund. Just one month's worth of the swag, general.....just one.

You forgot the bit where Ptayut 'Apologised' for the 'Terrible Misunderstanding' of what he said.  Truth is; he doesn't know what he has said or hasn't said or what he will or won't do anymore, he's screwed, and this is what happens when Soldiers put on suits and pretend to be Politicians !

You're being far too generous....he is not a soldier. He's a thug, a bully, and a liar who has a nearly endless collection of fancy military disguises....and likes to play 'dress up'. He is what happens when thieves put on uniforms and pretend to be soldiers.

Cash gifts okayed for government officials fighting Covid-19

Once again, the brilliant foresight and bold leadership of PM Prayut Chan-o-cha is clear.

Scorning wasteful populist measures of distributing cash to the common people....he is carefully and wisely allocating additional funds to police and military members. A sound decision.

After all, these are the loyal forces who ensure the good order of his regime and stand ready to vigorously defend both himself and democratic Thailand against its enemies.

Well done, general.

Thai Military battling to regain public trust

On 27 January, 2020 the people of Thailand were presented with the following:

Thailand’s PM assures coronavirus situation is “100% under control”

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has assured the public that the novel coronavirus situation in Thailand is “100% under control” and that he will personally take charge of overseeing the operations of all related agencies to deal with the virus...

A few possibilities:

- the general was instructed to say this.

- the general doesn't know what 100% means.

- the general was wrong

- the general was lying

- the general didn't really say this

- any/all of the above

And now...we're wondering about a lack of public trust?

Really?

PM Prayut hints at suspending public transport to curb virus spread

As a true man of the people, the Supreme Leader thoroughly understands the current perils of public transport.

He therefore advises people to follow his own example of infection free travel...by using their private limousines, their private helicopters, and their private jets for all transportation needs. This will produce immediate results.

As always, the general leads by example.

A: Hello China?....This is Thailand Civil Aviation Authority calling.

B: Yes, this is China…why are you bothering me?

A: Well…uh…sorry about that but….we are making a news story...and just to ask if you are using “strict measures” when sending your plague carriers to Thailand.

B: Yes, we use strict measures....always strict measures. Now stop asking stupid questions and go away.

A: Yes, right…sure...that's what I thought...thank you….sorry…don’t be mad, okay?
