Media urged not to be used by unscrupulous protesters seeking state handouts

Finance permanent secretary Prasong Poonthanate has criticized those engaging in sporadic and highly visible protests in an attempt to attract media attention to their efforts to get the 5,000 baht state subsidy.

 

He also said he is of the opinion that some media outlets are unwittingly being used by these protesters, claiming that some have already received the subsidy cash, but are demanding more. He cited the recent case of a taxi driver, who had attempted to scale the perimeter fence of the Finance Ministry as members of the media filmed the incident.

 

The cabbie, identified as Pongpicharn Thanathirapong, was at the Ministry on Thursday to demand that the handout be wired to his account that day, claiming that he had received a text message instructing him to show up at the Ministry file his claim.

OK so I this woman didn't commit suicide either ?

They will probably try to demonize the protesters as they usually do.
Funny after they've been in the news they receive the handouts but if they didn't qualify why give it to them?
Of course Civil Servants don't have anything to worry about.

Finance permanent secretary Prasong Poonthanate is rewriting Thai dictionaries and replacing the word "desperate" with the word "unscrupulous?"

He continued: The government is not as thick-skinned to criticism as we thought we were.
