webfact Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 PM says doing good is more important than job title FILE photo BANGKOK, 1st August 2018 (NNT) - Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said during his visit to a cultural promotion event at the Government House that doing good for other people is more important than a job title. Gen Prayut visited Thailand Social Expo 2018 before attending the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The expo showcased civil-state and grassroots-based projects by various government agencies including the Ministry of Culture, the organizer of the cultural promotion event. The expo, which received great interest from the premier, was held to honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, queen consort of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Gen Prayut was interested in how traditional Thai clothes were worn and the traditional art of Khon mask painting, among the attractions. The premier pointed out while comparing one’s job to a Khon mask performer that, "We all are ordinary people once the masks have been removed," implying that a person’s worth is defined by good deeds rather than a job title. In response to a proposal of the National Fisheries Association of Thailand asking the government to reconsider its policy on the employment of migrant workers, Gen Prayut said he would look into the matter. He added that the Department of Employment has already been instructed to solve the shortage of workers in the fisheries sector while citing the need for employers to meet human rights standards if they wish to employ alien nationals. -- nnt 2018-08-01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eligius Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2018 It is very emblematic of the whole of Thai officialdom and official Thai culture that he should speak of wearing 'a mask'. Yes. Their lying masks hide a huge number of sins. In fact, the real face behind the mask is even more ugly than the mask itself .. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person's worth is determined by all his assets, minus his liabilities. Some have unexplainable wealth, and do little good, is that person worthless, mister PM? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be GOOD if graft and corruption was eliminated or reduced substantially. It would be GOOD if the amount of illegal drugs on the street were reduced substantially.

Sonhia Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I doubt that very much. A very clever twist on words, all for show. Does he claim he does good as a self appointed, untouchable, dictator? I see position plus no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
