webfact Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Digital path the only way forward: PM By THE NATION PM General Prayut Chan-o cha The government will focus more on harnessing Big Data to draw up budget plans in order to effectively solve the country’s problems and respond to what Thais really want, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o cha said today (October 30). During his speech at an event looking at the readiness of state agencies to promote the digital government, the premier said that as the next step, state agencies would have to use their massive digital data to analyse what people want and identify their urgent needs. The information would allow for the drawing up of coherent spending plans. He has also informed the Office of the Civil Service Commission that any future recruitment of new state officials in the future would have to be in line with the government’s plan to embrace the digital age. New officials must therefore have skills in digital technology . Civil servants should be prepared to deal with the flow of information that would come via the upcoming 5G networks. Noting that the government has continued to promote the adoption of digital technology by state agencies over the past five years, Prayut said that the efforts had paid off as Thailand’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business 2020 list has edged up from 27th to 21st this year, out of 190 countries surveyed.

Popular Post exparte Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 Nice Talk, but is there any real substance behind it. Having worked in Asia; and home based in Thailand for 18 years in the Big Data Business; I have always been told by my Thai Friends within or linked to the Ministry of Science and Technology that Thailand will never digitize the Government because it is too easy to find and proof corruption within the Government. Thailand has two Mega Data Center: Supernap (Royally Sponsored) and NTT but you will only find the Banking Industry using them. The Government won't go near them 15 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrec Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Look, I want to believe the PM's statements are positive for the Thai people and the economy but they really have a way of often over committing and under delivering in this country on most projects. You know what they say about Big Data .... garbage in ... garbage out, I hope that's not the case in question here. As for Thailand's international bank ratings of 27 to 21 for ease of doing business in Thailand, I almost fell off my seat laughing at this statement. From my years of global banking experience Thailand banks are one of the worst in the world for ease of doing business with, especially Bangkok Bank. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanterbrigianBangkoker Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Introducing such a concentration of RF-EMF technology operating at the MgHz frequencies 5g will be operating at without sufficient independent testing on its potential hazards to human health first is astoundingly myopic and foolhardy. Quite apart from the data sharing concerns. Well done Prayut, yet another own goal. Following the lead of the West and China again... it will take you into uncharted territory and most likely a public health crisis. ????
