Popular Post rooster59 Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thailand’s PM thanks billionaires for their help Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has expressed his heartfelt thanks to the 20 Thai billionaires from whom he sought help during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. In his Facebook post today, he said that all of them had responded energetically to his call to help people affected by business closures as a direct result of the contagion. He said that what matters is not the not the amount of money or the value of the projects the tycoons undertook to assist those in difficulty, but their willingness to offer a helping hand to ease the hardships of the Thai people at an extremely challenging time.

Mr Meeseeks Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I see he doesn't think how much they donated seems to matter. I would disagree, considering they are billionaires and this is a national crisis. The public deserve to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkerN Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 One thing is for sure, however much small business owner benefitted, the billionaires benefitted more, and by the grin on yon court jester's face, he did pretty well out of it as well. psst: if you pretend to help then I'll make sure you see a few quid extra. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after he called that meeting with them, didn't he say he wasn't asking them for any help? Well, I made it through all those QR code checkpoints to get into centralwOrld today. They had a great EDM soundtrack blaring through their speakers, which will have to do as we still can't go to any nightclubs. Between tracks, a lovely voice in English and Thai reminded us that Central Pattana knows we'll all get through this. I'm sure they came to an agreement with the great leader to make this so.
