You have got to hand it to him, the man is a classic wind up merchant. He must sit there and laugh after making some of the comments in the article.

Thai citizens will not just learn about policies from newspapers or social media but will be able to contribute as his government will stop to listen to their voices.

After which they will continue to bleed the general populace dry for their own gains.

I really wish there was a comedian of the year category, he would win it hands down.

How magnanimous of him... after disbanding the only true opposition party the country had, he now says people can have all the say they want, but it's wasted on deaf ears.

Many thanks to the PM for this timely speech with excellent intentions.!
The Thai Govt should start by clearing the decks of all obstacles, and holding a FAIR, DEMOCRATIC and TRANSPARENT ELECTION, which would create the vehicle to implement the PM's great proposal.

Open the small pubs & let the Thais in the "informal sector" as you put it at least pay the rent 

& make some themselves along with helping your coffers.

We have all been isolated for 3 months anyway

He also commended people for standing united during this time of crisis and asked why people waste time playing political games instead of staying united so the country can move forward.

 

He said that since the world was entering the “new normal”,

Translated:  Wear a mask, social distance, and shut-up. 

"Do as we say, not as we do."

What about local elections and replace the appointed Governors and Senate?

And how would the khon dee then make sure the khon ngoo (apparently especially those in the provinces) vote the way that's best for them?  

 

It's very important that the Thai people unit, all think alike and follow daddy the leader (a general or German tourist).

Yes, Mao roughly said the same thing when he wanted to root out those who opposed him.  

Roughly or nothing remotely similar?

This is the funniest headline I have read today - HE MUST BE JOKING! Perhaps he is referring to "yellow shirt" people????

[GalaxyMan]

He could have said it all in a single sentence: Stop complaining and just do what we tell you to do without any questions. ????

[sammieuk1]

If I can have my say PM "resign"????

Another BS speech from the dictator. When has he ever kept a promise to the Thai people, apart from his rich cronies. He asked why people play political games ? He is the expert at that, been doing it ever since the coup. Nobody with any sense believes any of his <deleted> talk.

An expert at playing political games?? He is ex military, more interested in control, about the only thing he has in common with politicians is the way he keeps telling lies.

[steven100]

He is giving the public a say in policy making and some political affairs and listening to their ideas and input.

Polls indicate that Thailand is happy with the government and Khun Prayut Chan O Cha. 

- The majority of Thai people have expressed confidence in the government of Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, according to a survey by Super Poll Research -

Lies lies and even more lies...????

...from the man who repeated there would not be a coup, who did not want to be the leader when there was a coup, who wanted elections to be held as soon as possible, who said he had never been a public official and was therefore somehow allowed to become Prime Minister without even standing in an election, who wanted to end corruption but refused to release his families financial information and quickly appointed his brother to lucrative positions.....shameless.

If he genuinely wants to involve the people in decision making, how about some proper election? With an actual objective and independent anti corruption agency, election commission, constitutional court etc. No?

You are being silly now. How would they be able to rig the election. This man is guilty of treason.

Silly guy. No one loves him and his crew. Even most of the military grunt folk probably hold disdain as well.
