General Prawit to stay on to ensure national security: Defence Ministry’s spokesman

 

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan is not going to step down, but will carry on with his responsibility and duty to ensure national security and public safety, said Defence Ministry’s spokesman Lt-Gen Kongcheep Tantrawanich on Monday.

 

Commenting on the criticism and calls for General Prawit to resign over the expensive wristwatch scandal, Lt-Gen Kongcheep said the criticism and calls for his resignation constituted expression of opinions in a democratic society that all parties concerned should respect and listen with impartiality and should consider constructively.

 

Reminding the people of the bitter experiences they have gone through and the common lesson they have learned, the spokesman said that tolerance and reasoning would be the two elements which would enable the people to overcome their difficulties.

So another lie to add to their already impressive resumé, not that anyone was expecting otherwise. The middle finger is once again extended towards the Thai people.

Could Porky be the man to keep Thailand secure? . . . Watch this space!

[saakura]

"General Prawit (decides) to stay on to ensure national security"

 

What a supreme sacrifice by Khun Prawit, he should be hailed as a national hero. His name will be written in golden letters in the annals of world history.

As usual all talk no action.

Talk? Don't you mean 'Bare-faced lies'?

[darksidedog]

Headline should read "Prawit the bullshitter to stay on to keep feathering his nest."

I wonder how much more of this blatant crap Thais are going to accept before they lose the plot?

A general who has never experienced real combat (except maybe from a few peasants and unarmed students) is who the country "needs" to ensure security. Jesus weapt ??

   Or in other words: let these people do what they want with your money and shut up. How does this watch fetishist ensure national security?

It means 'We can and will do anything we like, whenever we like. <deleted>- you.'

Hope I have been of help.

An off topic post denigrating other members has been removed. 

[Eric Loh]

Not surprise even though he categorically said that he will resign if not wanted. This junta government is not to be trusted with their promises and assurances. They not leaving any time soon and it is up to the Thais what they going to do about a untrustworthy and corrupt regime. History beckons.  

[worgeordie]

So it's business as usual, then.

Keep it up Prawit. So the netizens thinks with internet they can pressure you to stop defending their  country ? or maybe they want some rice scheme projects . It about time you stop listening to the internet and do your job. You got watches and so What?

[madmitch]

The headline should read "Prawit's watch to continue".

 

Sadly the pun would be lost in the Thai language.

[greeneking]

Looking forward to the photos of him in uniform, camouflage paint, heavy backpack, rifle and ammunition belts patrolling the borders keeping those imminent threats from Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Malaysia at bay.

When he meets his colleagues can they keep a straight face?  He, and the other selfless 'good' people are the threat to peace.

 

[JAG]

When he does, eventually, retire or resign,I wonder wether they will give him a traditional retirement present - a gold watch?

 

[Sir Dude]

Obviously they are all above the law....facepalm

They should give him a bottle of Epsom Salts - to pass the time away.

too many n's

[sammieuk1]

Seconds out its bling time public safety now assured we can all stand easy and fall out laughing.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Well, the man makes a good point in regards to national security.

 

After all, someone has to stick around to guard his expensive watches collection.

 

Can't just leave them around unguarded. Requires a Defense Minister, at least!!!

[Phuket Man]

He makes a lot of sense.

Since he has been in power there has been no fighting or rocket attacks or bombs aimed at children or red shirt road blocks.

He is doing a good job.

Hopefully he will stay around for years to come.

No bombs. Apart from the ones in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Samui, Surat Thani and the ongoing civil strife in the deep south. Yeah, great job. A real record to be proud of...
