An incomplete oath of office given to the King without apology, explanation, or doctor's note looks to me like contempt and therefore lese majeste.

He only left out supporting the constitution line. I think there is a slow but certain move towards pre 1932 now that the popular man of the people has passed on.

Any ceremony involving the King is choreographed to perfection and every detail has to be just so. I think that in a ceremony that is titled "Oath Taking" Prayut has given deliberately an incomplete oath to the King and then continued to ignore the fact. That is I believe contemptuous.

Yep, just pointed the proverbial finger up to the parliament. He doesn't give one iota about anyone or thing...himself excluded of course. No code of ethics and he'll do just what he wants when he wants...no one tried to stop him before and no one will do so now. He really is causing the parliament to lose face in showing them just how ineffective they are.

Comforting to know he is a religious man! No doubt he made merit and his sins were absolved at the ceremony!

There are no sins to be absolved!

The Buddha Dharma Education Association also expressly states "The idea of sin or original sin has no place in Buddhism." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_views_on_sin

Agreed, but he is fully protected by who we all know.

 

There is no democracy and anyone continuing to criticise and push this issue in parliament is likely to end up with a lese majeste charge.

 

The other poster who alluded to Thailand returning to a pre 1932 phase is pretty much spot on as to where this place is heading IMO.

It doesn't really matter! An oath by a man who has neither ethics nor honor is worthless anyway.

He took the military oath to protect the constitution to break it subsequently. Yes he has neither ethics nor honor.

Are you that sure about who is protecting who...?

As for pre 1932, I don't see at all what was wrong with H.M. King Rama VII.

I would rather see more 'analogies' (outside of the intellectual capacities of the dictator) with the Phibun era, which (with an, erm, 'time-out') lasted well into the reign of H.M. King Rama IX, but as History (with capital 'H') is a dangerous matter here...

It is quite likely that he did not make this decision by himself.

Overlooked is that Prayut led his Cabinet in the oath taking.

Thus, each Cabinet member also made an incomplete (I would say "false") oath!

So the entirety of the Executive Branch of government has violated the Constitution.

Each Cabinet member should be put on notice to repeat the oath correctly or leave, regardless of Prayut's refusal.

This is an issue of credibility for the nation. While sovereignty of the Thai electorate may mean little to Prayut (as demonstrated repeatedly from May 2014- March 2019), surely the Thai electorate is entitled now to a Cabinet that supports their sovereignty and their designated constitution.
