Yingluck expresses sympathy for drought-hit farmers

By The Nation

 

 

Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Wednesday expressed sympathy for farmers suffering during the country’s drought.

 

Yingluck posted on her Facebook wall that farmers in the Northeast and other parts of Thailand deserved people’s concerns because of the burdens imposed by the drought amid a sluggish economy.

 

“The other day, I learned from news reports that the people in the Northeast and several other parts of Thailand are suffering from drought and, without the rainfall, their crops have been damaged. Moreover, the country is now enduring a sluggish economy, so the farmers and a lot of other people are suffering hardships,” Yingluck said.

 

“I have sympathy for the people and I would like to extend my moral support to all who have to endure the current situation. I also have concerns about the economic impact that will follow. I hope all of you will have courage and will not be discouraged. Please be patient, so that you all will survive these obstacles.”

No doubt soon she will be sending in funds to help those that have lost revenue due to farm losses.

Dear Khun Yingluck,

                           Could a rice pledging scheme be the solution???

[soalbundy]

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

[AGareth2]

not had a Yingluck thread for a while

[OneMoreFarang]

Please Yingluck, take the next plane to Thailand and help the people.

Since your rice-scam you have so much money that it should be possible for you to pay for a lot of water, including delivery.

We all wait to see you. You even get a free bed and free food. Hurry!

I wonder how much that line will get them when they go to repay bank loans, put children into school, buy diesel for pickups and tractors, put food on the table, etc.?

Will her adversaries blame her for the drought as a diversion. 

[Captain_Bob]

Still feeling guilty about the farmers who committed suicide due to her BS rice pledging scheme failure to pay them as promised in return for their votes.

Well perhaps someone close like you could extend your daily phone-in and tell her the folks want her money not her sarcasm.

There must be a criminal charge for something here from the last credibly elected PM

Wouldn’t be surprised that you interpret as sarcasm. I sincerely think she was concerned and she was hoping Prayut will treat the rice farmers as fairly as he treat the rubber farmers. 

[overherebc]

Sell a few handbags and that will keep some farmers happy this year if you send the cash.

So here we go again, because someone criticizes yingluck that person is automatically a junta supporter, if it works for you it shows your ignorance, way to go.

LOL.

 

Unfortunately, it is part of the problem as the farmers used more and more water, which we now dont have

Why did she not do more for the farmers when she was in a position to do so, e.g. drill wells for irrigation or construct additional water catchment areas..??

[steven100]

She did do more when she had the chance,she did more than this lot are doing.The rice farmers were not struggling as much as they are under this lot today.

Too much water was her problem. Her government did came out with a Water Management Plan for flood and drought mitigation. The junta then dropped the ball and did nothing.
