Prayut urges people to 'vote carefully in Feb'

By THE NATION

 

 

WHILE AGAIN admitting he had become a “fully fledged politician”, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told locals during a mobile Cabinet tour of the Northeast yesterday that he would lay down his life to continue serving the country.

 

During his visit to Bueng Kan province yesterday, the prime minister also asked eligible voters to “carefully elect candidates with good policy platforms”.

 

General Prayut, who heads the ruling National Council for Peace and Order, was greeted by about 5,000 local residents as he arrived at a public park in Bueng Kan.

 

His Cabinet is scheduled to convene its mobile meeting in the province today. The meeting will discuss matters involving Bueng Kan and the adjacent provinces – Loei, Nong Khai, Nong Bua Lamphu and Udon Thani.

 

“I come here today just like a fully fledged politician. Now I can’t say that I am not. 

 

“It’s because I run the country,” Prayut told the crowd. “You know that I am suffering. But I agree to suffer and lay down my life in this position.”

 

In January, the former coup leader had described himself as a politician for the first time after having repeatedly denied he was one.

Yesterday he also suggested that people wanted him to remain in office.

 

“While in bed, I thought about why people place their hopes on me and why they want me to work. It’s because they have hope and I have to make their wish come true.”

 

Prayut urged people not to take part in street protests now that political restrictions were lifted, as “confusion and chaos” would again cause damage to the country.

 

“People must not allow anyone to lead them to confusion and chaos again. Such a thing must not happen again because Thailand is going to host the Asean Summit next year,” he said.

 

Prayut also said that the mobile Cabinet meeting would address issues involving local residents and the regional provinces.

 

He pointed to more than 2,900 projects in the five provinces in the Northeast as among the accomplishments of the post-coup government. 

 

During his tour to attractions in Bueng Kan, the prime minister was accompanied by senior Cabinet members, including Deputy Premier and Justice Minister ACM Prajin Juntong, Deputy Prime Minister General Chatchai Sarikulya and Interior Minister General Anupong Paojinda. 

 

There was tight security at the places visited by Prayut and his entourage.

"...His Cabinet is scheduled to convene its mobile meeting in the province today..."

 

Hey Nation!

 

You write fine Editorials condemning the Junta for its abuse of power, its lack of competence in governing and for its wasteful, illegitimate actions.

 

Yet, once again, you fail call this what it is; it is not a "Mobile Cabinet Meeting", it is a taxpayer-funded, campaign-style, abuse of money and power. It is blatantly using the trappings of power for personal benefit.

 

if you are unable to call this what it is, then perhaps you should either stop those fine-sounding Editorials or just simply bend over.

Can anyone explain what this means? Seems like waffle...

 

“While in bed, I thought about why people place their hopes on me and why they want me to work. It’s because they have hope and I have to make their wish come true.”

[colinneil]

It is because i run the country.

You know i am suffering, i agree to lay down my life in this position.

Biggest load of waffle i have ever seen, sad deluded man.

[Thailand]

Just when you think it can't it gets uglier.

It means he is full of himself. He'd like to stay in bed and rest but duty calls. His "calling to lead the country" is more important than resting his tired old, full of nonsense body.

What a load !

"I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty"

 

And BTW, what other way is there to vote than to "vote carefully" ? Duh.

And the adoring crowd are all wearing uniforms!

So far detached from the truth and reality he speaks as if people really care about what he thinks and does. I wonder what its like to live in an illusion?

That is because the general populace are all out in the fields, or bin diving for plastic bottles, or selling fried crickets, trying to scrape a few Baht together.......

Well, blow me down, his lies are getting more untruthful by the day, or more probably, the more he realises that there are, now, 'other powerful people' interested and undoubtedly more committed to running the country better than he and his stooges have. And, as the next eleven weeks come and go, his antics will get even more desperate as he fights to save his gun-metal skin.

Transparency International's definition of CORRUPTION, almost word for word. You're right, SB, The Nation has gone soft, here, on what to the world is a corrupt use of power for personal gain . . . 'mobile cabinet meeting' my jacksy.

More and more, this little clown makes me think of Sukarno. He is even flogging "Thainess" as his own version of Pancasilla. But I am sure that, before he gets to sleep, he gets a hard on dreaming he is the truly great Lee Kuan Yew.

Guess we'll be seeing a lot more of him and his lot in Isaan in the next couple of months!

Our suffering brave non elected PM who is not taking part in the election calls for urge voters to vote carefully. Yet he is trying to steal the premiership by writing himself in the law as an outside candidate. What a coward not facing the voters. Got to throw up listening to his daily crab.

comical, surely his own interests would be more apt.

A post containing a disallowed reference to the PM has been removed.

Prayut is suffering in his self-appointed job for the good of society and wants to continue suffering by getting elected to the same job.  Well, perhaps his wife whips his bottom, whips it good, at night as well.  Takes all kinds of people, you know.

[Sydebolle]

Hopefully everyone is aware on how kind the government is these days. You are aware of the B 500 hand-out in cash to the poorest of the poor? In another publication I read that this clocks to B 7.2 billion which would benefit 14'400'000 people. 
In other places it would be called vote buying with tax payers money as the government itself has no money to spend. These B 500 are not paid in cash but can be converted in "allocated" stores around the country with meanwhile inflated pricing. 
While the masses are being pleased with little pay-outs the big wigs cover the bigger amounts with rail links, trams, airports and, lets not forget the three Chinese submarines.

It must be something in the air.

But everytime lately i've heard this moron's voice or seen his smug mug on the television, i just get angry. Really angry.

And i'm not even Thai.

God know's how the normal Thai population feel, having to listen to this imbecile. And blatant thief.

I'm fortunate the tv still works, the amount of things that have been thrown at it by the missus...
