Popular Post webfact Posted October 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thai MPs told not to discard garbage in the parliament chamber File photo Members of parliament have been reminded of the dignity and status of the parliament chamber, and the need to maintain cleanliness, after it was discovered that the chamber was littered with trash, food scraps and food containers following the first day of the marathon debate on the budget bill yesterday. House Speaker Chuan Leekpai issued the reminder before debate resumed this morning. He told all MPs that he had received a complaint from the janitors about excessive amounts of garbage littering the chamber. He said he believed the MPs might not have intended to discard their leftover food, food containers and other trash in the chamber, but might have mistakenly thought of the chamber as a seminar room, where they may be used to such behaviour. -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2019-10-18 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem has got worse, but that's because of structural issues not generational issues. I think you would agree that recent generations are more aware of the problem,and more willing and proactive toward a solution than generations past . Without generational improvement the problem would had being much much worse IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxYakov Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) One might think that popcorn containers and stray kernels would be the biggest complaint. Wait till they have a decent food fight! I wonder if trash bins were put inside the parliament rooms would be stolen like the ones on the streets of Bangkok that soon disappear.

No wonder the streets, canals, streams, rivers, beaches and oceans are afloat with waste! LEAD BY EXAMPLE! In Canada, as an example, In the Chamber, Members may refresh themselves with glasses of water during debate, but the consumption of any other beverage or food is not allowed Edited October 18, 2019 by Prairieboy 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
