State of Emergency Extended, Sports Spectators Welcomed

 

 

BANGKOK, Aug 21 (TNA) – The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration resolved to extend the state of emergency for another month and allowed people to watch sports at their venues as long as safety measures are observed.

CCSA spokesman Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin said the state of emergency were extended from Sept 1 to 30 as proposed by the National Security Council and the decision would be proposed to the cabinet for approval.

 

“It is necessary to have legal authority to prevent and solve problems efficiently so that the crisis will be handled swiftly, harmoniously and effectively after high-risk business and activities were allowed to resume including full-scale services at all schools and educational institutions,” he said.

I don't think this affects me in any way, but it is still sad to see.

 

Tv should keep this posting and set it to repeat the next six months or so as I can't see the state of emergency being lifted any time yet.

Absolutely, I agree.

 

Just in case young people get some weird ideas about living in a free country, swift action can be applied.

Weird rules in Thailand.  People can go watch sports now but for the past month hundreds are allowed in a packed bar in khaosan or thong lor with no social distancing etc.

Only a quid pro quo to disguise the extension of the emergency decree!

So if the only way to "to prevent and solve problems efficiently" is by emergency decree, how about sacking all the useless civil servants who are so inefficient in their prevention and solution finding?
