‘End speculation by naming new Cabinet,’ says Abhisit

By The Nation

 

Abhisit.

 

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday that the best solution to speculation about the Cabinet reshuffle is finishing the issue as soon as possible.

 

Abhisit said it’s natural that the media would make comments on the work quality of ministers subject to speculation, and the best solution to end criticism was announcing the reshuffle. 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha should finish this as soon as possible and any changes to his Cabinet should be based on the government’s policies and directives, not anyone’s favours, Abhisit said.

 

Any criticism that has arisen can be taken into consideration, as it could help reflect on the government’s work, he said.

 

Abhisit emphasised that there should be changes in the economic team, saying the “same old idea” of injecting money into the system has not yielded a fruitful result.

Thailand opposes new ideas.  Thailand does not go looking for solutions.  Solutions come to Thailand.   To sum up the Thai economy: auto parts, food, IC packaging.  Nothing new has come along for a while.

Without a clear financial accounting of military commanders' unusual wealth, there may have been and continue to be a fruitful result - just not for the Thai people in "general" (pardon the pun).

I doubt that nice Mr Prayuth will do so, I suspect he has a fine, though childish sense of the dramatic. That would fit quite well with what else is known about his psychology.

 

Plus, I suspect he thinks the average Thai actually cares what he does. For myself, I'm not so sure they do - I certainly don't.
