webfact Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 More military outgoings than incomings in new Cabinet: PM By The Nation PM Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and his deputy and Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan during the Asean International Fleet Review in Pattaya on Monday. There will be more outgoing military officers than incoming ones in the freshly reshuffled Cabinet, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Monday. “I never think about the proportion [of military and civilian officers in the Cabinet],” he said. “Why? Do you mind the military that much?” The yet-to-be-publicised list has already been finalised, the PM reiterated. The fourth reshuffle of Prayut’s three-year-old Cabinet follows his announcement earlier this month of a shake-up shortly after General Sirichai Distakul abruptly resigned from his position as labour minister. There has been speculation that the reshuffle will also revamp the Cabinet’s economy-related ministerial line-up. Prayut had also said that he was considering reducing the number of military officers in the Cabinet and outnumbering them with civilian ministers. However, his senior and close military aides are not expected to be cast out of the Cabinet, as the premier said last week that his deputy and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan, Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda and Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister General Chatchai Sarikulya would remain following the reshuffle. He did not clarify whether they would stay in their current posts or be shifted to other positions.

Do you mind the military that much?” As ministers, yes. They're not qualified. This isn't about disliking the military. It's about disliking military personnel in positions they're horribly unqualified to be in. You mind if the guy who's not a doctor checks your prostate? He's read up on how to do it and it's a hobby of his. He loves to ask silly questions to divert. How about he answer some important questions for a change instead of answering questions with questions. My missus used to do that until I started to do the same back. She got that sudden realisation of how annoying and uncouth it is. Edited November 21, 2017 by rkidlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemeaylward Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Why all this stupid mystery! If he has made his decision, announce it and stop daily speculation! The man has absolutely no idea about the real world or how to run a country! Uncertainties can only cause problems!Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha, he is doing what is best for the country and it's people. He has actioned the urgent issues of the recent flooding, also the problematic health scheme, he has fast tracked projects such as the HSRP high speed rail project, the northern thailand highway expansion and many others.

Who's the unlucky half-wit, then? . . . there are about 50,000,000 people hoping it's Prawit . . . he must be ready for a rest. And Chanocha isn't looking too cocky, either. 2 birds with one stone is the idiom that comes to mind, here.

Steven100 need not bother to give his name when posting, as we can all tell it is him from the sycophantic nature of his comments. However, we do realize that the publishing of his name is of course as automatic as his Junta-loving responses, whatever the nature of the topic might be.

wakeupplease Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Why? Do you mind the military that much Because they do not know sweet FA about running a country, and even less about fighting a war, they are from the bottom end of Thai society, only there to help fill others pockets and their own. Short sweet and to the point. 37 minutes ago, Retiredandhappyhere said: Steven100 need not bother to give his name when posting, as we can all tell it is him from the sycophantic nature of his comments.

Just do as I do have a good laugh when you see his name and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is meaningless drivel. Below are the important bits; # The Economy. Or what's left of it. Not got a clue how to look after it or improve it. # Reconciliation - never happened, and getting worse. Never was meant to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
