Watch this space.

Soon we will hear that the offender has been taken in for attitude adjustment.

Cannot cause loss of face

Very serious offence ! !

Probably because the flashlights woke him in time for him to realise the game was up.

Don't underestimate the force of the power naps

Thai peoples pay the salary for those "very hard working peoples" so they have the right to know what they do during the long working day!

[candide]

It may be that the media were actually trying not to harm the reputation of the NLA by showing seats which were not empty! ?

It's not just many, it's a consensus that there could be corruption, especially to those absent and sleeping MP's.

Doesn't only happen here...

There is no point in them even being there. They might just as well stay at home asleep in the arms of their wives or mia nois. The PM can send a copy of the budget to them by sms at his convenience which they can read after they wake up; if they so feel inclined.

All they need to do is to turn up on voting day and raise their hand. Opposing the PM's budget is not an option.

If they get fired from here they could always try out for the House of Lords.

[Moti24]

At least in the Houses of Parliament in London, they sleep in the upright position.  The guy in the blue shirt looks like he may have set his alarm for tomorrow morning.

[Sir Dude]

This is a funny one....they got busted as to what appointed legislators do in rubber stamp parliaments. They might as well sleep for all it's worth..as not like anyone's opinion is needed.

Seems like the session was quite sparsely attended as well. Private Business? Seems like a low rank, should be General Business.

 

I think "the media" was under fire for reporting the lack of attendance?

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

 

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

 

 

Rivers, stay away from my door.

[Krataiboy]

Classic case of "shoot the messenger" rather than the dozy beggars who are the letting the side - and the country - down.

[Stevemercer]

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

 

That is incorrect. Fighting corruption is about making the system incorruptible - checks, balances and accountability.

 

Thailand has got a long way to go if the leader of the country actually believes this! Hopefully it was a misquote or something was lost in the translation.

[Dibbler]

Must have been a big night out for these young fellas!!  Wonder what they got up to??

[The Theory]

Perhaps they think no difference it would make. ?

How much do they get paid?

Might they also get additional compensation (vs salary) serving as chairman on the multitude of government committees and board of directors on state-owned, quasi state agencies and privately-owned companies.

Gen Prawit seems to be essentially a quad-dipper: Army General, NCPO member, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.

Absolutely right. This is just Thai bashing again. This happens in all sorts of parliaments. And when the sleeping members are pointed out, the electorate can boot them out... Oh, hang on...

That gives the term 'friendly fire' a new meaning...

You can't fire them. They the rubber stamp brigade. All docs come marked. Please stamp me.

Every right thinking person knows why Thailand is sinking so low.

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? 

This is  a river of power?

[tomta]

That they are asleep on the job is Prayuth's fault. He picked these fine people, paid them lots of money to pretend to make decisions and then bored them to death.

 

Don't blame it on minions, Prayuth. It's all your fault.

[Telly]

With the way Mr P drones on and on,  I was kinda expecting more to be asleep..  Maybe it was still early

This isn't fake news!  this goes on everyday and everywhere with every government. When it isn't your own money you are spending who give a <deleted>!

Right, but when these photos hit the press in say UK, USA, RSA etc. the government doesn't come out and blame the media...?

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.

Like your post but you forgot to mention the jet black dyed hair too ?  

[attrayant]

Are these elected positions?  Why are people electing such old farts to these positions?  We need young, energetic people with progressive, fresh ideas to move the country forward.

[MrMo]

These guys are clowns.   Not only do some of them sleep on the job when the NLA are debating important legislation, it seems fro the photos put out as a matter of public interest that the attendance level is struggling to make 10%.   How much do the sleepers and non-attendees get paid to be members of the NLA ?
