Prawit skips meeting as he dodges watch scandal

By The Nation

 

 

Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan on Thursday cancelled attending the national mineral management policy committee at Government House.

 

The deputy premier instead assigned Natural Resources and Environment Minister General Surasak Karnjanarat to chair the meeting.

 

Government House reporters have noticed that Prawit seems to be trying to avoid facing the media after being criticised for his possession of what appear to be an extravagantly luxurious watch and diamond ring, which were not declared in his assets.

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) will hold a meeting today to consider whether to launch an investigation into Prawit’s assets.

Why bother? He wears the most precious ones anyway...

I read the ‘quote du jour’ in a newspaper that I can’t mention that he said, “I can explain”. 

 

Well, Mr, Deputy PM....... go ahead. 

Forgive me, but how does the evil hobbit dodge anything?

 

He doesn't seem to move very well...

 

Or at all...

Teflon Prawit. Just one of the boys.

Couldn't have said it better. Thank you.

What I hate most about this scandal is seeing his fat cat face more often than I would like.

 

Only in power because they seized it in a coup, never would be voted in, never!

Isn't this was what the coup was all about; a person that is in power exerting their authority to get a personal gain? If not man up.

go easy on the man. He needs a good timepiece so he aint late for a meal.

 

Wonder what he actually does between meals anyway!

Snacks, of course.

Na-ah, he is not hiding for the press, he has hidden all his expensive watches yesterday, so this morning he didn't know how late it was, and missed the meeting. Why are you always having bad thoughts about this genius? As a genius he must be, and the minister of finance he should be: with a salary of about 800,000Baht per year, he succeeded to accumulate 30,000,000Baht extra wealth over a period of 6 years, do you realise that? And modest he is in other ways, as he only owns one 100,000Baht car (a piece of rusty junk then), he is obviously already keeping for some years now (brand? model? year?), so, you see?

In words only.  The Selective National Anti-Corruption Commission (sNACC)

He didn't skip the meeting, he missed it..., because his watch was running slow

I can explain it.... but I am not going to, I wish to protect the innocent.

I have it on good authority that he only eats once a day; starts at 8am, finishes at 8pm.  So, between meals, he sleeps.

As Prawit intended, whilst you're all being distracted by the possible assets scandal, he's managed to skip the meeting that he hates most - the national mineral management policy committee meeting - why do you think he's looking so chuffed? And it's only about diamonds and boring stuff like that, anyway. My concern, as a responsible and caring TV poster, is how the hell will the committee possibly manage without his likely contribution of wit and wisdom to the meeting, whilst his crown jewels are being looked at. It's a big worry, but life in my village is going on just the same . . .

. . . . Thailand … always amazes me.

Hey prawit, get your army mates to block all access and close down all news agencies that report about your watch. Then you don't have to answer any questions.

I'm sure his explanation will be that he bought it off a hawker at a beer bar in Pattaya.

Take a look at what car he has and the cost of his house as well
