PM orders all ministries reporting Korat shooting victims compensation plans

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Prime Minister has ordered all ministries to report their aid compensation plans for victims of the mass shooting in Korat in the Cabinet meeting tomorrow, while the Department of Mental Health has prepared a four-stage plan for victims.

 

The Government Spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwa, has announced that the Prime Minister will be in the Cabinet meeting tomorrow reviewing the aid and compensation plans of all ministries for the injured, and families of the dead in a mass shooting incident in Khorat on the weekend.

 

All ministries are instructed to see if they can provide compensation to each victim based on their area of responsibility, such as the Ministry of Labour, the Social Security Office, and the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and to report to the Bureau of the Budget for urgent budget allocations.

 

As for the victims, the Department of Mental Health has prepared a four-stage plan to take care of their mental health. The department’s Director General Kiatphum Wongrachit, said today the department has deployed the Mobile Community Assertive Treatment Team (MCATT) to the area to meet with affected persons, including those who fled the incident site before the situation turned violent, as well as family members of the victims. The team will also focus on children and youths affected. The department will be evaluating the status of their mental health periodically.

 

The four-stage plan starts with the emergency stage 72 hours after the incident, where affected persons may have stress, anxiety, confusion, and may be showing rapid changes in their behavior. The effects will be more pronounced among those directly affected.

 

It will be followed by the intermediate stage covering the first two weeks since the incident, during which some mental health issues may occur; then the mid-term stage where those who still have mental health concerns will receive monthly assessments. These assessments will continue over the long-term stage for injured persons, and the family of the victims, to ensure they can return to normal life.

In the meantime the  biggest  brush and carpet is being prepared by his mates in the military,  gun  sales are to be relaxed and the PM declares everything under control, all  burning of  sugar has  stopped and Bangkok has the best air  in the known universe  according to a poll of one person in the govt. Oh and theyv'e ordered it to rain in all the dry  places.

Time to increase that airport surcharge, oops I forgot they are  in planning now, what Corona virus?

[Thechook]

Meanwhile Prime Ministers of democratically elected governments make requests they don't give orders.  Still the soldier

[colinneil]

Surely someone should check on little Ps mental health.????

[newcomer71]

Sure. He still think to be the big General, who gives orders here and there...

[justin case]

will they give compensation by status of the dead person ?

 

killer shoots dead people = get money

 

crazy van driver kills many = get nothing

 

well, only in thailand

[canopus1969]

the aid and compensation plans of all ministries for the injured, and families of the dead

 

Let us hope this will apply to any future killings by any means e.g. gun, knife etc

[steven100]

good job by Khun Prayut Chan O Cha to provide all necessary compensation and counselling to those affected by this tragic event. It's quite obvious he cares deeply about the thai people however he still has to run the country which of course is priority. 

[Lodestone]

 

Seems serious. They put on special hats.

[sammieuk1]

How touching bordering on crass just do it don't talk about it your a dismal failure as a PM no amount of buying will ever change that????

'Let's talk money, and make noises about 'counselling to appear like I care, while the World Media is looking...'

trans:

'Let's sweep it under the carpet ASAP before any flaw in my military may come to light'.

My heart bleeds for my adopted country. In recent history they've had to endure some utter buffoons as unelected dictators/leaders but this cap wearing clown takes the biscuit.

I'd say a monkey in a baseball cap could do a better job, but I don't want to insult our Simian cousins...

[outsider]

Yes, the surviving victims and families of the deceased should definitely get some form of help and assistance. Soon.

 

As for the Esteemed Leader, why so serious dear Brilliant Comrade? Just do your nonchalant and dismissive 'little heart' wave and everything will go away. And leave the real work to those who can actually do it.

Here's what he thinks is appropriate to do after a mass shooting. 

 

Jesus wept.

Why are the ministries made to pay? This solely lies with the army and army should be making all payments and covering all costs from its own budget

Two words come to mind. Crass. Repulsive. Despicable.

 

Oops, sorry, that's three.

How about providing counselling and help for soldiers and other armed service men/women who might be on the brink of a break down? In-dept psychological tests  for alll people who carry weapons regularly - cops included.
