webfact Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Disasters now dubbed ‘national threats’ By The Nation Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, in his capacity as head of the National Council for Peace and Order, has invoked Article 44 to amend the internal security law with the definition of “national threats” being expanded to cover disasters, including natural related incidents. The order has been published in the Royal Gazette today. The Internal Security Command Office (Isoc) will be tasked with helping to assess the threats and report to the Cabinet. It will also develop operational plans for the Cabinet to endorse. New internal security committees would be set up to take charge of implementing these plans at all levels – national, regional and provincial. Prayut said his reason for invoking the order was that threats had become complex and Isoc needed to be strengthened so it could keep up with changes to ensure national security and public safety. Isoc can also draw or transfer personnel from other government agencies to help with its work.

Srikcir Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 12 hours ago, webfact said: invoked Article 44 to amend the internal security law On a serious note, amending laws through Article 44 is good example of what Prayut could do prior to and after the next elections. NCPO Orders are constitutional as confirmed by the Constitutional Court and the courts accept now retroactive application of new laws. If the electoral process and voting is not projected to produce a certain outcome, Prayut could unilaterally invoke a series of new or amended laws that could greatly alter the outcome.

sawadeeken Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The picture of him in the OP shows without a doubt, the stance of a dictator (not a 'leader').... just look at the facial expression and the sternness and 'threat' in his eyes and that finger pointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
