Hmm, will it include information for young kids on how to refuse instructions by a school director to carry molten asphalt?

Having PM Prayut as ASEAN Chairman for 2019 is a disaster by itself. He is ineffective with almost everything he does except self-acclamation. He is devoid of action and represents nothing more than walking words.

'walking words' - for me the phrase 'walking dead' springs to mind. A zombie apocalypse indeed.
