Another opportunity for positive publicity lost due to racism and ill temperament. He really needs to read those briefing notes his staff surely provide to him on a regular basis. A man who won’t read is no different than a man who can’t.

As easy to read as a book you might say.Poor bloke's having a tough time of it and like most Thais they just seem to make things so much harder than seems necessary.

Honestly ... He can call me what he likes to my face if he follows through on his promise, but I wasnt hopeful before and I reckon he could be out of job now.

I do find it deliciously ironic that some posters that post some really bad racist drivel in here are now crying about this guy being racist ???? 

Dumping on China has gone on long enough. Time to deflect the coronavirus by blaming it on FARANGs

 

What a Racist Bunt. 

If he had smoked a big fatty before he went out this morning all of this would have been avoided

I tend to think he might be in for a promotion I'm sure he's been eyeing off the number one position since he was a kid,I don't think he would have made to many enemies on his side of the fence.He is a very crafty individual and wouldn't be at all surprised if he succeeds in his quest.He has already won the most toys (money) award for the administration.

This is the protective equipment being worn by medical workers treating coronavirus patients in China -- and Anutin is telling us that a surgical mask will keep us from getting this disease.  Its dishonest and diluting.

I'm sure I heard him say that the falang don't know if they are infected or not and just in case they should wear a mask to prevent further spreading the virus which seems fair enough I see his point.It was pretty tame language compared to the stuff I often spew forth and vitriol doesn't come close.I nearly lost it in lotus today when I was no longer able pay the phone and internet bill without a chipped ID card.<deleted>,SFU country.See can't even string three capitals together How <deleted> is that.

Hopefully stupidity isn't viral. If his is, I'm out hunting for a mask

I'm not sure if it is viral, but it certainly seems endemic!

Yeah but to be fair you are not the australian health minister .... or are you ?

10,000 tourists from Wuhan, wearing masks, coughing inside their masks while they walk around BKK.

 

OK, we love you.

 

Farang, Switzerland, 100 million in bank, no wear mask... DEPORTED!!!  

 

How can you continue to feed when you bite off the hand that feeds you????????????????

Thank **** for that!I'm staying away from capital letters for a while before I get binned again as it's been a while.

PS Just trying to remember who the current health minister is but can't for the life of me.

Unbelievable choice of words. I think Thailand is heading for a meltdown.

Actually the exact choice of words is 'f*ing white n*ggers that don't wear masks should be kicked out of Thailand'.

 

Enough to get you arrested in a civilized country.

also, isnt he an engineer by trade. How is he qualified to be a health Minister. the more i think about this,the more mental it is.

HE is red headed who knows how to look like he is going to explode any minute and smack the hell

out of anyone who stand in his way. that's the main quality a senior politician here needs.

right on, get rid of the few high paying tourists that you have left. I think it's so funny, nobody in my village wears a face mask and neither does anybody in the market town 17 km away, corona is just not a point of conversation.

The world is clearly in the grip of not one, but two pandemics, caused by a new coronavirus, the “novel Coronavirus 2019” or nCoV-2019 for short. The first pandemic is the actual infection caused by this virus. The second is the panic, hysteria, threat inflation, associated racism and xenophobia that are exploding in the shadow of the viral outbreak. The latter pandemic may claim more lives than the first.

Better stop investments here. No need to buy a condo, car, motobike or open a business. With this xenophobia, shown publicly by a minister of a country, it is clear enough. Maybe Europe should also show the middle-finger to the elite Thai money launderers.

It's quite sad for the human race, that <deleted> like him have any governance within the world.....serves us right I guess. 

Out of curiosity......was he the first member of his family to stand on 2 legs?

In the past, I've heard English people referred

to as 'potato sacks'.

At a club in London, my mate asked me why

is that when I pass a group of Thai girls they

say 'Moo'?  I said its means 'handsome'.

 

 

"moo" means pig, and the thai girls say it because the see how you look at them.

if you, like me, will try hard to never look at thai girls, not in the street at least, you will 

also enjoy never to be called "moo".

Normal they worried about farangs, since the current epidemic found its origin in a bat to human transmission, another future outbreak, in Thailand, may result from a farang to human transmission.

Maybe even alien to Thai possible?

so will people be wearing masks inside restaurants?  Girls working inside the bars, discos or gogos?  Is every person, Thais included now wearing masks?

Idiot handing masks with his bare hands no gloves. I wouldn't put that on my face, he can be infected who knows.
