The truth is painful....

It's a rich statement. An illegitimate government accuses others of trying to delegitimize it.

He also warned that the activities of ministers and high-ranking officials would affect their tri-monthly evaluation, starting this April, which would consequently affect a reshuffle decision at the end of the fiscal year in October.

Wait, huh?

isnt there to be a new government after the elections slated for November?

 

Chairman Mao.

well what goes around comes around

Oh and why would you be worried about being overthrown ?

It might be that the new government won't be installed until circa June 2018 in time to develop the FY 2019 budget? The current budget ends September 31, 2018.

 

There might also be considerable delay due to election of a PM (especially if it goes to an unelected PM), Prayut's right to approve the new Cabinet that follows a PM election and the time frame for royal endorsement. And of course during that entire process Prayut has the constitutional right to invoke Article 44 to "do as he wants" that might create delays.

 

So Prayut might be thinking that he'll continue to govern October 2018-June 2019 that will necessitate a cabinet reshuffle?

A classic case of "Do as I say, not as I do".

If the economy is so rosy and Prayut has brought happiness to the Thai people according to a 2015 poll by The National Statistics Office that found more than 99.3% of Thais are happy with the junta's performance ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/23/thailands-junta-releases-poll-showing-993-of-citizens-happy-with-its-performance ), then why is Prayut hyper-paranoid with what must be surely a small minority of disagreement?

 

He has a few more cards in his hand anytime he wants to delay.  A coronation, another significant death imminent and also Prem is how old now?  Another state occasion.

Plus, of course, can be postponed anytime  people show they are unhappy in ways he does not approve of.

His government has been legitimized by both the USA and united nations.

I know the TV elite despise it but it is what it is.

IMO when he legitimately runs for office it will be a landslide. He had done far better in a very short period than the last 30 years of democratically elected thieves

The junta gets overthrown - now that's a new one for a change.

Explains the submarines, the destroyer and the other army toys - now I get it!

Because there are no elections planned 

His sympathy and poll ratings must have slipped a lot. In the beginning there were some published surveys. Since last time nothing.

Due to the many scandals and increasing restrictions on many fundamental rights, the mood in the country has changed.

Yeap. You came out with a stupid idea which has an insidious meaning. People called it out for what it was. So what do you do? You double down on the idea. 

And add a bit of a threat to all of those ministers that are not falling in line. Don't you just hate it when all of the sheepole don't follow along blindly? 

Atten-shun, you 'orrible little man!

 

About turn!

 

By the left, quick march!

 

Left-right, left-right, left-right. . . 

Time for a new coup by the people not the military.

Don’t force me or the NCPO to continue to lie to anyone,” he went on. “I don't want Thai people who want  democracy and shared his insane ideology to bring about solutions.

 

“Anyone with a brain can come to distort this. There are still people with ill-intent attempts who should be soldiers and do so,” he wrote.

 

       Did somebody take away the puppet's puppet?  Now he shows his real face, already lost when he's born.

Now the problem is if it can be controlled as being with china is like having the devil as your bed fellow. 

My god has steven finished polishing his bosses shoes, that was quick.

PRIME MINISTER General Prayut Chan-o-cha accused the media

Low handed way to pacify the press by getting an ultra right pro junta group to buy over Nation. Junta is back pedaling hard and have to resort to dirty tactics to

mussle the media.
