PM: Sustainable Thai Idealism initiative not designed to gain popularity

Thammarat Thadaphrom

 

 

BANGKOK, 15th July 2018 (NNT) – The Thai premier has reiterated that the Sustainable Thai Idealism initiative, aka Thai Niyom Yang Yuen, wasn’t designed to seek public support ahead of the national polls. 

 

In response to the Pheu Thai Party’s allegation that the current administration is taking advantage of political parties, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said parties shouldn’t pay too much attention to who has an advantage over whom, because in the end the people will be the ones to decide which party gets to be the next elected government. 

 

He stressed that the Pracharat campaign and the Thai Niyom Yang Yuen initiative were ‘not’ meant to build popularity with the public, nor were they designed to rally support for the current administration ahead of the general election, adding that the sole purpose of the approach is to lift the well-being of Thai people. 

 

Gen Prayut claimed that he has yet to think about his future in politics as he is focused on his duties as prime minister for the time being.

"parties shouldn’t pay too much attention to who has an advantage over whom,"

Absolutely correct.......just because the junta and their new party are able to tour the country handing out billions of taxpayers money on their campaign.....while the minnows are not allowed to have a meeting, is certainly not worth paying attention to!..A knob!!

He never seems to be able to get in front of his accusers. He just denies, denies and denies.
