webfact Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Cabinet bracing for debate on Prayut’s flawed oath By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam plans to initiate a Cabinet discussion on Tuesday (August 27) to prepare for an upcoming House debate over a perceived flaw in the way the prime minister was sworn into office. The opposition maintains that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha did not strictly adhere to the constitutionally mandated wording of the oath of allegiance to the King when he was sworn in and is thus disqualified. The chief coalition whip expects the House to debate the matter early next month. Wissanu said he will ask the Cabinet to name a representative to respond to the opposition on the prime minister’s behalf and will advise the designated person on strategy. Six academics and lawyers on Monday jointly filed a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsmen to investigate officials of the Cabinet Secretary for failing to prepare the proper wording for Prayut to read when taking the oath. Wiwatchai Kulamart, a lecturer at Ramkhamhaeng University, said Prayut should not be blamed for someone else’s failure to provide the correct wording for the oath. The blame rests with the Cabinet, he said. He said Prayut’s mistake was “trivial and unintentional” and he should be allowed to take the oath again.

I thought Prayut has said it was intentional,and that his superior told him to omit the words. 35 minutes ago, webfact said: Wiwatchai Kulamart, a lecturer at Ramkhamhaeng University, said Prayut should not be blamed for someone else’s failure to provide the correct wording for the oath. With lecturers like this it easy to see why education standards are so poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I give them points for originality, but seems a bit petty and thin, even for Thailand. Is this really their idea of meaningful opposition? Surely, there's something more worthwhile they can look into. Russian meddling, perhaps? Not very original, but it's a crowd pleaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In November 2014 he declared a joint worth of B128 million in assets and B654,745 in debts. He declared that he was undaunted by the prospect of being scrutinized. This alleged report seem a reasonable increase after working hard for the country for last 5 years ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonhia Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thai authories inform foreigners to check their visa details becasue it is upto the foreigner to make sure the details are correct, because if the Thai Immigration officer makes a mistake, but the foreginer in question does not notice the mistake, the foreigner is to blame not the Thai Immigration officer, who made the mistake in the first place! In my opinion the Dictator is wrong. He should have examined the speech with a fine toothed comb.. The speech is not simply one used for opening a supermarket! The speech in question is a very important part of government administration. All wording, context etc should be checked by the orator, namely the dictator, who broadcasted the speech to the nation.

jaiyen Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 why is this matter about the oath so much more important to argue about than sorting out the mess the country is in with, droughts, floods, high baht, road death rate etc ? Cos they don't care about the people ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you see how this little intentional "slip-up" is the most basic part of why things go so wrong here in Thailand and how it can impact the future of the country keeping in mind the broader implications and the direction the order to do this came from?

I don't know, but the little bloke on the right needs to get his No 1 dress into the tailors, his sleeves are too long! The slant on the hip pockets of the jacket are a bit iffy too, although maybe the angle is critical to slipping envelopes in unobtrusively...

If you want petty and thin, try this:- "The single case in question was filed with the Constitutional Court by Mr. Natthaporn Toprayoon, who accused the Future Forward party of being hostile to a Constitutional Monarchy, citing the party’s inverted triangle logo which, according to Mr. Natthaporn, resembles the symbol of the Illuminati, founded in Germany in 1776, which was believed to have been behind the overthrow of monarchies in several European countries." Highway dept. are going to busy taking down all those give way signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boit Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 If the dude really did not state the complete and correct oath, then apparently he does not take seriously the responsibilities of his office and should vacate the post at once in favour of a patriot that would take the oath sincerely. Thailand needs and deserves a true leader, not a clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
