Here's the story behind the snoozing MPS that pissed off Prayuth

By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter

 

Air Chief Marshal Chalee Chanruang sleeps during Thursday’s budget meeting.

 

BANGKOK — After images of lawmakers snoozing during debate of next year’s proposed multi-trillion baht budget incensed taxpayers, two of the nappers gave flaccid explanations as the junta leader berated their behavior.

 

Air Chief Marshal Chalee Chanruang and Thamrong Tassananchalee, two members of the National Legislative Assembly, dodged questions or offered excuses for why they were sleeping like logs during Thursday’s session. Junta chairman Prayuth Chan-ocha chastised the mostly elderly nap-takers and threatened not to re-appoint them.

Bet  theyd  be  great in a war!!

Well at least they were present, I seem to recall attendance by "MPs", if they can be called that, is less than universal!

Rumours, they are installing beds in the new Parliament building 

instead of seats.

regards worgeordie

Were there fewer sleeping beauties in parliament,  before the Hon. Rev. Respected General came to power ?!! ?

Asked if Chalee and Thamrong’s naps would damage the junta leader’s image since he was the one who appointed them, Prayuth snapped back angrily.

“Enough. Your question is nonsense. None of your questions have value!” he said.

The Angry Bird is overdue for a stroke.

How they vote if they sleep?

Sheep.

Baa! Baa!

Clearly the fault of the fake Media.

Maybe get the PMs nephew - his construction business is BOOMING - to install a supplemental electrical system to each to the chairs, and then the PM can "jolt" sleepy members back to life?

Their war would be a musical with endless pillow fights in period costumes, directed by a third string karaoke howler.

Cannot! It will blow up a couple of pacemaker.

The journalist has probably already gone on the missing persons list.

 

 

DENG XIAOPENG LIVES!... DENG XIAOPENG IS ALIIVE AND WELL, PROOF OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CRYOGENICS.... IF A LITTLE SLEEPY.

Get some Tasers for the next meeting that will liven them up a bit

"Junta leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha said he warned assembly members not to fall asleep during meetings again at risk of losing their positions."

On the other hand Prayut has no issue with MP's (typically 7-20) who have been excessively absent from NLA voting. So long as they submit leave of absence to the NLA president beforehand. So maybe Chalee can sleep undisturbed if beforehand he lets the NLA president know he'll be falling asleep during the session.

“Enough. Your question is nonsense. None of your questions have value!” he said.

 

That's exactly the response they wanted. Prayuth still hasn't learned in any way how to brush off the media or criticism with even a touch of panache.

 

What are his advisors telling him, or is he even capable of listening to advice?

Sleep, wake up to rubber stamp and wait for end month salary. Summed up a typical day in the appointed NLA. Rub salt to wound; they got salary raised recently. 

"Enough. Your question is nonsense. None of your questions have value!” he said.

well, what would you expect from a junta soldier. Back biting is the skill of non elected PMs.

it's a bunch of useless chair poopers

It has nothing to do with what happens in the UK or US.

“Next time, those who fall asleep cannot be [a legislator] any longer. I’m watching. If they sleep, they don’t need to be holding a position and should sleep at home,” Prayuth, who spent two hours addressing the assembly, said Friday.

Anyone who was still awake after 2 hours listening to PM deserves promotion and a medal.

Right you are.  We all know Thailand exists in a vacuum not to be compared with any other culture or people or time and place.  What is normal or abnormal in Thailand is not judged normal or abnormal any other place in the world.  Nothing in Thailand not food nor education nor women is comparable to any other country.

Other culture and people don’t have regular coups and none mentioned here are living under a military government nor have articles 112 and 44. Maybe that is uniguely Thai. 

Why were they asleep?

 

A. Because they're lazy pigs stationed at their berth at the trough

B. Because they were 'poorly'

 

Aw bless.

 

Not poorly enough to stay at home though, no money for being poorly or sleeping at home.

 

Not poorly enough to stop them dressing in their regulation Thai silk clothes and making the arduous journey in a grace and favour air-conditioned limo to Government House.

 

And not too poorly to prevent them holding their hand out for the money.

 

Genuine Thais then... on the take.

To the point!

Just watch his weekly address to the nation on all channels.

What a fuzz about a member falling asleep in endless blabla.

Has that never happened to you during hour long power point presentations

Indeed. And a certain PM too!

 

And at least these guys weren't looking at porn like some previous MP's.

Ah, a well crafted "But, but, but Thaksin post!

 

Such a rare genre nowadays...

Well when Prayuth has ultimate and sole power, section 44 what's the point of even turning up.  At least he showed up to show his support and vote.
