Media under fire over NLA napping pics

By The Nation

 

 

A junta-appointed legislator raged at the media for showing his fellow legislators sleeping in a session deliberating the Bt3-trillion national budget for the next fiscal year.
 

“[They] distorted the work of our five rivers of power,” said the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) member Somchai Sawangkarn, referring to the junta and four of its branches of government.

 

“They showed photos of NLA members sleeping via social media. Throughout four years, I think the media is the area which never reforms itself. Over 90 per cent are good but the rest create distortion and conflict,” he said.

 

The Bt3-trillion budget was passed smoothly by the NLA, which approved its “suitability” to the government’s mission and national strategy.

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha led some cabinet members to the session for his 90-minute explanation of the pricey budget.

 

“With this high budget, many wondered if there could be corruption. But with that mindset, we would be unable to do anything at all,” Prayut said. “Corruption is not about the system. It all depends on people.”

Sleeping during doing your job, just try is somewhere else and you get fired.

Might as well have a kip considering their attendance is meaningless anyway. However what is truly unforgivable are those crappy combovers - look, either cut it short or see a decent stylist when you are on one of your taxpayer-funded jollies abroad.

Happens all over the world! There are often photos in UK media but the PM does not blame the media!

Actually, I think they captured the essence of your work.

 

Or, did you actually think you had influence on the process?

LIke the rice scheme

The definition of the inactive post laid out.

Why is the media under fire they are doing their job it should be the people sleeping in the picture that are under fire.

Of course! He´s entitled to a little nap, when it´s not anything more important than that. 

[Mango Bob]

Maybe the sleeper got bored during the PM address on the budget.

Exactly right. It is 100% within the realms of 'public interest' to know if the NLA members are doing their jobs properly and scrutinizing the contents of the debate. After all this is the public's money they are spending.

In the paper where I first saw this photo, I thought the line underneath was very kind. They were "resting their eyes". If you look at the photo long enough, you will surely discern the deep and active engagement with General Prayuth's words and ideas going on under their eyelids.

I think they have 2 designated "nay" voters so it doesn't look like collusion ?

You couldn't make this stuff up ........

[manhood]

Let media do his job: bring up all the things that are going wrong and punish the ones; either missusing the money of the taxpayers and the people of a country, making wrong decessions, don't do their job the right way and and and....

So yes i understand there is a big fear of media to bring up the things that are sh.t...from under the table....

Love all the Dr. Evil suits. 

It's the new "La Tyrannie" Spring '18 Collection. 

Are the assortment of bright jelly bean colours meant to trick the population into believing that this mob has their best-interests at heart? 

[shady86]

Give them some room for a short nap after the long years of "hard work".

[Deez]

Pick up your pay checks after the meeting. Thanks for coming

[chickenslegs]

This type of photo can be taken in front of any TV set in Thailand on a Friday, from about 8.15pm onwards.

Zzzzzzzzzz.

'“They showed photos of NLA members sleeping via social media.'

 

Oh, I don't think they were sleeping via social media; I think they were genuinely blotto. And if this moron's reaction is the best we can expect to sight of the unacceptable face of junta governance, no wonder the country is in a morass. 

 

'Prayut said. “Corruption is not about the system. It all depends on people.”'

 

Particularly on those who are awake when the goodies are being divvied up.
