PM Prayut launches project to enhance efficiency in road accident prevention

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has presided over the launch of a project to enhance efficiency in the reduction and prevention of road accidents. The Prime Minister has encouraged all sides to follow the guidelines of the Thailand Declaration to minimize losses.

 

The Interior Minister, Gen. Anupong Paojinda, said today the project designed to drive the road accident prevention operation was initiated to promote road safety according to the Moscow Declaration, which proclaimed the Decade of Action for Road Safety from 2011 to 2020.

 

The Prime Minister delivered a policy to promote road safety, which encourages local agencies to work together to help reduce the number of road accidents.

 

The policy aims to reduce the number of road fatalities to no more than 21 victims out of every 100,000 people by next year. The Prime Minister said efforts have to be made continuously, not just during holidays, because he wants to see Thai people smile and make them happy.

 

As a New Year’s Gift to the people of Thailand, the Prime Minister said he wanted the country’s road fatality rate to drop to 0% quickly.

 

He said laws must be strictly enforced, while the people have to respect the law. He warned motorists against drink-driving while calling on the general public to follow the theme of the Thailand Declaration, which is "Love Oneself, Love Your Family and Love Others".

 

The Prime Minister later observed an exhibition on road safety at the event.

Don't need an encouragement policy we need an enforcement policy!

That's so close to the truth it's almost not funny.

When he first applies that to himself, maybe then someone will take heed. Calling him a hypocrite is being kind.

Why does he still dress like that? If the man has rescinded his military duties and taken on the role of a normal civilian PM then shouldn't he ditch that sort of military themed gear?

Just letting you know where his true loyalties lie.

They can't even hold a traffic safety exercise without people getting killed and injured.

From other reports it hasn't started too well

It's the uniform of the civil servants, not a military one.

The teachers, mayors and others civils employees have the same

If only they realised the is really no shame in asking for outside help on this devastating issue.

You are welcome

even the civil are allowed to wear their military medals on the civil uniform

plus the civils medals. 

There are a lot and some of them are not very hard to obtain

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_Thailand

 

The Thais love uniforms, have you noticed each company in Thailand have

his own uniform, even for the housekeepers? The same thing for schools, university and so on.

 

Double advantage they don't have to pay for work clothes

and they are able to reconize at first glance who is who

in a very hierarchised society it's very important to know

for example who has to do the ''wai'' salutation first when you meet

someone for the first time.

And an uniform give some ''prestige'' in a society where the ''face''

and the appearances are the most important things

I dress  like a tramp, I  love the  look on their faces when I wander in

[Creasy]

If there was an ounce of credibility and freedom in the Thai press, they could call out this buffoon and his cohorts daily for all the bs they sprout and make a mockery of them. Which they deserve

Well, that’s a wrap then. Both of those are going to fail on an epic level.
