Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has urged children to be more interested in science as it is important to the development of the country. 

"OK children, all together now: Learn to become scientists, which is good for the country and moves it forward! But, if you become government leaders you and your friends can say 1+1=3, which confuses the country and moves it round and round in circles. Now, which is more fun, huh?"

The system that was installed was suppose to be very sophisticated, but according to lore, the BiB saw it as a threat. 

Yup, installed by Peek traffic in 1994 as a trial. Unfortunately, poor (by Peek Traffic Thailand) management of the limited trial and the interference of the BiB doomed it before it got going. I actually work occasionally with one of the designers.
