NONTHABURI,17th August 2019 (NNT) - Interior Minister Gen Anupong Paojinda, has delivered a speech on the fundamental economy and called on the people to have confidence in themselves, embrace change, stand tall and apply the Sufficiency Economy.

 

In a workshop on the direction and coordination of economic plans at district and tambon levels, attended by provincial and district development officials nationwide, Gen Anupong gave a speech entitled the Ministry of the Interior and the Fundamental Economy, confirming that the top-tier economy has improved somewhat but the fundamental economy has not improved very much. That is a challenge to the Ministry of the Interior which is close to the people, listens to their problems and calls on them to stand up, be strong and prosper.

 

He admitted that it might be difficult but if everyone joined hands in the effort, it would definitely be achieved. Provincial governors were advised to use personnel in an integrated fashion and put the potential of each agency to work. Agricultural control systems will be made compatible with economic plans, as the national economy largely depends on the agricultural sector to which almost 30% of the population belongs. With that in mind, the Sufficiency Economy is highly recommended to achieve the best outcomes in all fields.

The words are nauseating and meaningless........joining hands, embracing change, standing tall, confidence in oneself.

And of course that hoary old chestnut the Sufficiency Economy. A philosophy which espouses moderation, reasonableness, prudence and virtue.

Here is an example of Cabinet's idea of reasonableness, moderation and virtue.

The Phalang Pracharat Party's 600 million baht virtuous gala 200 table fundraiser. This pigfest was attended by many government ministers and the price per table was a very moderate 3 million baht. 

What sickening hypocrisy!

Otherwise translated, as the extreme increase in the unequal distribution of wealth.

Translated as , we get the jitters when we look at the news and see the occasional repercussions of such a scenario worldwide.

 

Last paragraph says you are on your own and best to get used to eating recycled sticky rice cakes.

involves  plumbing terms, I think the words  ballcock in the  plural  though.

Seems we are getting a higher percentage of state-sponsored media. 

 

Be nice if there was a higher percentage of non-state media. ????

No, because, as usual, they uttered a bunch of words that really made little sense (even in Thai). 

 

All style and no substance. 

Sounds like the Gen may have picked up his economics degree from the Zimbabwe school of economics. ????

 

It's idiocracy come to life

Well, except for the last military coup that couldn't trust the Thai people with sovereignty of the nation and resolve political problems, nor for the next five years to trust the Thai People to govern themselves, make laws and create a new Constitution after the military abolished the previous one.

Seems the only time the Thai military wants people to stand tall is when it comes to being a target for .... disobedience.

It's idiocracy come to life

What a great film that is...many parallels.

So a military officer, responsible for ratchaprasong massacre in 2010, now becomes a champion of farmers. The ministry of finance cant help poor, instead the minister of interior will keep peace and order. 

 

There wont be rice and other crops this year, because of poor rainy season. Many farmers will bankrupt and food prices will be skyroketing. Interior ministry is ready to face challenges by mass protests and asks for help from the other government agencies

Cheerleading the poor does nothing-telling them to suffer with a smile on their face is pathetic-the nationalistic route again

Make do with what you have got; we need the money for: submarines, armoured vehicles, high speed trains, new airliners, and a myriad of other things which we have made damned sure we are in power to enjoy...

Yes. Standing tall will feed the family. And subscribe to a 70 year old economic theory, which isn't a real economic theory.

Charging unaware foreigner tourists  900 Euros fine for smoking an E cigarette in a street under the treat of 2 years jail seem an interesting business model to me.

But as always there is a flip side to that coin.
