Popular Post rooster59 Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 Anutin says he has no ill feeling towards foreigners, denies posting ‘dirty westerners’ Tweet Image: Thairath Thailand’s Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has denied posting derogatory comments about westerners on Twitter. According to the BBC’s Southeast Asia Correspondent, Jonathan Head, Anutin said he didn’t post the comments and doesn’t know who did. It was also claimed that the Twitter profile had been run by a member of Anutin’s staff and not Anutin himself. Anutin also said he has no negative feelings towards westerners and is focussing all his efforts on tackling COVID-19. Anutin stressed that the authorities are being completely transparent with regard to the number of cases officially reported in Thailand. Earlier this week, a Twitter account in the name of the health minister posted derogatory comments about westerners in Thailand. The Tweet, which has since been deleted, along with the Twitter profile, called "farangs" dirty people who don't shower and blamed them for fleeing Europe and coming to Thailand potentially spreading the COVID-19 virus. He also urged people to avoid foreigners as "not a single one was wearing a mask". The controversial Tweet came a month after he launched a similar attack on foreigners in Bangkok who refused his offer of a free mask. Speaking to Thai media, Anutin, called on foreigners who don’t wear face masks “to be kicked out of Thailand”. He later apologised to Thai media for losing his temper. The news comes as Thailand continues to battle against the spread of COVID-19 - a battle that according to the relatively low number of cases officially reported, suggests Thailand is winning. While the number of cases in countries such as South Korea (8,086), United States (2,174), Italy (17,660), Spain (4,231), France (3,661), Germany (3,062), Sweden (775) and the United Kingdom (707) have surged rapidly in recent weeks, the number of confirmed infections in Thailand stands at 82, with 35 of those having already made a full recovery. 46 patients remain in hospital and there has been one death from coronavirus in Thailand. *Stats on number of cases from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and TAT via Ministry of Public Health - correct as of 14 March 2020. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-03-15 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post misterjames Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I think he's getting worried because Thai people are angry with what he said and are starting to circulate his quotes and picture mocking him for his racist remarks. So they are now saying his team wrote it on his twitter? ???? even if that is true it still says a lot.
