snoop1130 26241 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Even if Thailand votes, no Parliament awaits new lawmakers By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter A concept art of the new parliament, Sappaya-Sapasathan. BANGKOK — A massive facility meant to host Thailand’s next parliament in five months appeared far from completion Thursday. The future home of the legislature remains a jumble of scaffolding, unfinished walls and staircases, underscoring the fact the Sappaya-Sapasathan, as it is called, is far from complete despite government pledges the decade-long project would be done by June.

Eligius 12811 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Well, isn't that symbolic? The 'Parliament' is not even ready yet - it is just a 'jumble' - a mess. Says it all about the sincerity of the Thai 'election'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog 4367 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Now we know why the election is being delayed. Why don't they just say so and we would all unserstand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossy 2800 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 As an extract from the Full Story reads, at the new parliament site, 'Scaffolding covers many of the walls. One staircase stank of urine.' Piss poor performance, I'd say, and on a stellar-like 20 BILLION BAHT scale, already over double the budgeted cost. Will this country of spendthrift parliaments ever be able to draw the line at 'let's settle for ordinary, until we become stellar' ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper 19718 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 What a welcome opportunity for the junta to grant themselves a few more decades in power: "Despite the prime minister's ceaseless devout prayers to Phra Siamdevathiraj, the deity has so far not responded favorably to help speed up construction of the new parliament building. Judging from the current construction pace, we are therefore unfortunately compelled to delay the election to July 2043." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy 4680 1012 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The Junta and his cronies, must pop round to his house for thier meetings, as I thought the government have already moved out of the older building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
