Prayut appeals to the 20 richest Thais for help

[AussieBob18]

I couldn't believe the headline - things sure have changed since "we have it all under control".

 

Does he not realise that like many others (*****) they are all living overseas and have been for a long time.

He might have better luck asking Captain Tom to do a few extra laps of his garden ...

 

 

The good captain has zoomed zimmered past 21 million squid and is still going strong.

 

One huge difference, he wasn't asked to do or give anything. This is what a true hero looks like.

Hold on for a moment.

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

 

Good question.  Got another one.  Why has the Government recently announced they will be spending hundreds of billions on large infrastructure projects, when they cannot pay 5000 baht a month to the starving Thais, and are now asking the uber-rich for ideas and donations.  This place is falling apart quicker than I was predicting. Whoever said to me that I was wrong in saying that it will take until the next election to change things - you were right I now think.

I know not-so-rich people doing this already -namely, preparing food boxes for those who are going without.....collectively, they are probably helping more than the richest 20 will ever do.

Yep. And Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Grenada, Ireland, New Zealand and most of Europe.

They have Govts that are rational and a media that keeps them at least a little honest (mostly).

Saying anymore would be in breach of TVs rules.

You either can or you cant - you either know or you dont - either way I cant help you understand.

Hrmmm that should work. Thailand slip sliding away.

It makes perfect sense, 6 years in power they've emptied the coffers, run the economy into the ground, made the rich richer, the poor poorer and now Corvid has come along not only do they not have the "resources" to fund it they don't have any ideas.
So he has to go cap-in-hand to those he's helped before and ask for donations and ideas.

"The truth will out" as the saying goes!

 

[Scott Tracy]

Especially senators and politicians with more than 1 job...

[sawadee1947]

Of course we will help you. 

But wait........ when I think about how you treat us Westerners in your country then I would have our help connected to some conditions.: Fair and equal treatment, freedom of Speech, Democracy, law enforcement on roads,...... of course we can ask the Lord for let it rain...... more brain .????

Sell/scrap/mothball  the NON aircraft carrier. Cancel/mothball all naval assets that are not defensive assets. Ground/sell all offensive warplanes, replace with state of the art defensive missile/radar systems.Thailand does not need any assets that are internationally offensive.  Slim down drastically the officer corp of the armed forces, only keep those on full time active duty. That should release a large portion of the budget that can be used for infrastructure/education/health and public support.

Thailand probably does have the Money that is often quoted as " Foreign Reserves " for payments to the poor and needy.

However, over the last couple of Years or so, the Government have gone on a massive procurement drive for Toys of War.

These Toys are hugely expensive items to purchase, and any contracts for Apache Attack Helecoptors, Striker APC,s, Drones and Submarines Etc Etc Etc will carry massive cancellation penalty clauses, and late payment penalties.

The Government is probably so far down the tracks on these contracts, that any default now will incur massive payments for breach of Contract to the suppliers and Agents, and they will receive no Toys for their Money.

Therefore is better to try and see the Contracts through, and ask their friends for help in funding the poor and  needy program.

 

I am sure you are right but it doesn't solve the massive problem they are facing now with millions unemployed and needing support 

 

IMO it is all about to come crashing down, another 12 months of this makes certain of that - not just Thailand but every country in the world, Thailand is just starting to get with the program now and it looks very grim indeed

2 chances. None and Buckley's.

Or another way - as a snowflake in Hell (or the White House).

The courts disbanded Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit party for what he is seeking now, One of Thailand's top businessmen ever Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit would have been a great assert for any Government to have on side during this time of need, is this Karma striking back.
