Focus on work, not election campaign, ex-MP tells Prayut

By The Nation

 

A former Pheu Thai MP for Ubon Ratchathani said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha should focus on his work, not campaign for the election, when he holds a Cabinet retreat in the northeastern province next week.

 

Prayut and his ministers are scheduled to visit Ubon Ratchathani province on Monday and Tuesday for a mobile Cabinet meeting.

 

Chuwit Pithakpornpallop, a former Pheu Thai MP from the province, said he was happy that the Cabinet would be visiting the province but said he would not be present to welcome the prime minister.

 

Chuwit said if any former MP were present to welcome Prayut and the Cabinet, it would be clear that the politician would be supporting the junta chief as the next prime minister.

Chuwit said he would like to ask the prime minister how the people of Ubon Ratchathani had benefited after the Cabinet meeting held there in 2015.

 

Chuwit said he would like to call on the government to give priority to developing the Chong Mek border checkpoint in Sirindhorn district as a special economic zone and also build a bridge across the Mekong River in Na Tai district. He said these were projects the government had promised during the last mobile Cabinet meeting in the province.

 

“Don’t come to seek popularity or try to woo former MPs to join the Palang Pracharat Party,” Chuwit said. The party is seen as pro-military and supports the re-election of Prayut as prime minister.

 

“My fellow-Ubon Ratchathani people should monitor this to see who would stay with Pheu Thai and who would defect to Palang Pracharat.”

Are lobotomies common in this part of Thailand ?

Say the bridge would be part of a high speed rail connection with Bangkok and you'll get it.

Prayut uses Article 44 to establish economic corridors because of public resistance.

Sorry, but your willingness for a special economic zone just killed the project for government support. You have to use reverse psychology with Prayut. Demand that the district be allowed to plan its own economic future and you'll get Prayut's attention.

He should stay out of the red territory. Nothing he can do will ever make him accepted there unless he uses force as he is used to doing. Forces the majority to behave and be quiet while he transplants and finds short listed followers in which he rewards. Sort of what China did in Tibet. .

really don't see this ending well at all, as the hate never died just evolved.
