Popular Post webfact Posted October 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2020 Senator’s black Mercedes parked in hospital’s ER zone creates furore in social media By The Nation A senator’s car, which was parked in a prohibited zone and blocked other people’s access to the area on Thursday morning, has won a lot of backlash on social media. Photographs of a black Mercedes Benz parked near the entrance of Ramathibodi Hospital’s emergency ward posted on Twitter by "TransportTH" have gone viral and had been retweeted nearly 30,000 times as of press time. The driver was reportedly scolding the photographer for taking a picture of the licence plate, which revealed that the car belonged to a senator. The #WhyDoWeNeedSenators? was the top-trending hashtag on Thursday, with many netizens saying senators were an unnecessary part of Parliament. The opposition and pro-democracy activists have been fighting to “switch off” the power of senators selected by the junta regime. The opposition has submitted motions to amend the charter in order to make this possible, but the motions have yet to be added to the House agenda.

Ultimately yes... the sense of entitlement is present through every facet of Thai society and grows with wealth, with which comes power and a greater sense of entitlement... and its not just Thailand.

Grumpy John Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think the idea of having senators has some merit...unless of course they were installed by a puppet government who did not consider the citizens may want choice in who represents the Bangkok elite.

9653 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Evidently he was not the only one parked in a zone, that should be used by ambulances only. BUT.... of course the Mercedes gets singled out, because of jealousy and envy of the peasants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
