Psimbo Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 He can dust off the same speech used ad nauseum by his predecessors- it's Groundhog Day again. Has he mentioned 'more CCTV' yet? There seems to be a strange undercurrent in the comments above that he may be less than effective- funny that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie999 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Starts today, then goes to his office, orders a coffee, takes off his shoes, loosens his belt, and does "f" all for the rest of hid tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 There are plenty of barstool, negative critics, already engaged in fortune telling. I prefer to wait and see what the new Governor does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he can do many things, collect envelopes, look the other way on issues that affect bottom line, not harass the locals in power etc. What he can't do is upset the apple cart aka, the gravy train.

NamKangMan Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I am waiting for the usual "urging" press release, where he "urges" all the people presiding over Phuket's issues to do the right thing, without anything ever changing. ???? Yes, "urging." That will fix Phuket's problems. ???? Edited October 4, 2018 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
