DLock Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) "Prayut said he will next week write an open letter to the 20 tycoons, asking for help in efforts to tackle the pandemic, which he said has become a deadly threat to people’s health and economic wellbeing." How about you write the letter today and hand deliver it this evening, instead of watching reruns of Happy Days, thinking you are the Fonz... Your people do not have the luxury of waiting a weekend... 15 minutes ago in Chiang Mai.

Wise up, Mr PM. If he had half a brain he would use the situation to get rid of a lot of opposition in the military with the excuse of using the money for national importance, swing it like a charm......Begging like he's doing is just showing everyone that he's either a liar or a thief......... Act like a Captain, chuck the lot overboard and clear the reef, hero of the beach ! Trouble is you need gonads for these moves...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the country are so rich, has so much reserves as we been told times after times, and the virus are on a downward trend why the need to Beg the 20 richest families for "resources" also known as money? Can't afford to pay 5k for three months, rush open society 1 May, against the trends of many countries who extend lockdown, a lot doesn't make sense here. I already disabled my western logic and common sense, still I look like this do not look for logic here but you know he just bought submarine no 2 so that keeps him back a bit, hence asking the filthy ritch 20 for assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersonat Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 20 hours ago, BeltAndRoad said: Wrong. Thaksin tried to bribe the rural population in exchange for their votes. Most of them are modest land owners by the way, so not really poor, the people in high rise apartments in BKK are looking fairly poor at the moment. In 2019 The State spent over 70 billion Baht to to provide healthcare for around 6 million civil servants ( = 12,000 baht per head), whereas it spent 163 billion Baht on [1] the Universal Health Care Scheme (where The UHC Scheme benefits those who are not covered by the civil servant welfare fund, or the Social Security Fund (SSF) or private health insurance) and also on [2] the SSF for 14 million workers, ( = 3,400 baht per head for 62 million people). The UHC Scheme is a tweaked version of the 30-Baht-Scheme introduced by Thaksin in 2002. -- In recent years, General Prayut has accused the UHC of being "a financial burden to the Government". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascalman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I have to say this. If I had a great deal of money, now would be the time to do something to help their people! I do not think they will, I have seen to much poverty here for a long time! I have 40 years knowledge of Thailand! I first came here in 1972 for a tough year during the war! Have seen no such efforts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGV Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The PM is worried about the loss in revenue from departure tax at airport 800 Baht x 100 people in plane = 80,000 - Approx 2 planes take off each minute 160,000 Baht - 60 minutes = 10 million baht for an hour x 24hrs = 240 million baht tax revenue for 1 day - Not available because of lockdown - may have to trim defence budget ha ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Beijing will simply say no , end of story. Nobody will go to war over it and how many economies will be robust enough to impose trade embargos. As for Thailand , its already in Chinas pocket , som nam na ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza2002 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 What the <deleted>, it's another misunderstanding from Prayut. Given that they are speaking the same language it beggars belief. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is not seeking donations from tycoons — he merely wants to see cooperation in fighting the coronavirus outbreak and reviving the economy, say a deputy prime minister and the government spokeswoman. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Saturday that some social media users had distorted his message, making it sound like he was asking them for money. “I don’t know who these 20 people are. I only check the content to be put in the letter," he said.“The government will not send the letters asking for money. Let’s wait to see what’s inside them. But I can assure you we’re no begging for money. Everything will be clearer next week because the prime minister will check the detail himself."
