BANGKOK, 24 November 2018 (NNT) - Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said social consciousness is needed in democratic rule and urged the people to get prepared for a general election. 

Deputy Secretary to the Prime Minister Puttipong Punnakanta quoted the premier as saying Thailand is now heading towards the general election, reminding the people to be aware that true democracy is to ensure peace in society, maintain public benefits, and protect the nation, religion, and monarchy. 

He said some people might have understood democracy is a limitless state where anyuone can do anything freely, but the truth remains all actions must stay within limits of the law, with acceptance to the majority and respects to the minority, and not using any group of people as tools to perpetrate conflicts or violence. 

He added the premier has confirmed the progress towards general election is on track according to the roadmap, and encouraged the general public, especially young people, to go out and vote good and skilled persons to help develop the country.

Sound advice. And, as always, Uncle leads by example and is well prepared for momentous times ahead...

 

 

Congratulations on your victory PM and can you put that gun down now "please"????

Put on your big gold ring and your bracelet. Wear your best yellow tie with the soup spots and come on down to vote!

 

"... Prayut Chan-o-cha said social consciousness is needed in democratic rule ..."

 

Hey, this is Thailand.  We'll have none of that.

Can the non junta aligned parties prepare as well? 

The photo makes it looks like he is holding out a giant medal for the first past the post!

Already awarded it to himself.

If it was going to make any real difference there would not be an election

What?

A bit like stopping people going to the voting booths in 2014?

A bit like taking over a Park and spouting racist and bigoted views then?

A bit like not letting an elected govt govern?

Oh sorry.

That was ok 'coz that was the "Right Side" perpetrating conflict and violence.

Unless of course you are the army. Then conflict and violence is OK.

Well, his accession to power was indeed a powerful display of "acceptance to the majority"..????

You are quite correct about it being empty vacuous drivel, but wrong about the source. Look again. It is the National News Bureau of Thailand, the junta's mouthpiece - 'Government press releases you can trust...'

Someone needs to slip in the words "coups are no longer allowed to happen" right next to the word "ensure".  Then you'll have something closer to 'true democracy' as oppose to democracy at the end of a gun.

Not completely wrong baboon since the "empty vacuous drivel" article also appeared here at: thaivisa-THE NATION, i.e., a partnership enterprise.

Has the great hooha been anything other than vacuous ?  The man has not had a profound thought in four years if ever.  When covering this man, there is very little to report.  This is just a mirror of vapid, non profound, fun sucking, delusional vacantness.      

How can they when (I believe) canvassing is still illegal.

YB,

 

Please tell us what you really think; I am tired of these vague, ambiguous musings that don't spell things out clearly!

A true Democracy under a totalitarian Dictatorship system. Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. This guy is too much. Only thing he is starting is a civil war

 But that is ok. The Thai army usually run away and hide when faced with a conflict where the other side is armed.

Hopefully in this domestic internal case, but not likely if it happens.

Says the General who led a military coup that stopped an election "redo" for July 20, 2014 that was approved by the EC who was drafting the royal decree for the prime minister to submit to the king for royal endorsement. In effect Prayut supported an unconstitutional replacement of the government with an unelected "people's council".

Prepare to be robbed and lied to. Thais are trying to prepare to cancel your self appointed contract lol.

This character is like a amature brain washer. Keeps on about violence lol. He has failed to reform Thai laws. And is in no position to be advising anybody. What a laugh. 

Yes Thais are preparing to try to terminate your 20 year rort plan with your friends at the RTP. You will not win. How is you tubby friend Prawit going with watch investigation. l loved the YOUTUBE smash hit rap song. Clearly stated what you achieved 0..
