Prayut reveals Children's Day slogan

By THE NATION

 

 

Government House on Wednesday revealed Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s slogan for the upcoming Children’s Day.

 

Thai Children’s Day falls on the second Saturday of every January, or January 9 this time around.

 

The slogan can be translated as: “Thai children in new normal era unite Thais to build the nation with loyalty and virtue.”

 

It is a tradition for a prime minister to give the slogan for the day.

Not the most catchy of slogans!

Almost sounds like its been dreamt up by an Army committee  ...........

[PatOngo]

Oh! I was expecting "I'm One of You"!

[colinneil]

A better slogan would be..... All you children should grow up always telling the truth, just like Prayut does.????????

[herfiehandbag]

Is he going to set it to music?

 

Something as catchy, inspirational and motivating as that deserves the broadest exposure possible!

 

I can imagine P3 repeating it with enthusiasm as they march joyfully to class, swinging their arms shoulder high as they go, little faces aglow with excitement at the challenge!

This year a children's slogan from early 20th century America may be more appropriate.

 

I had a bird

its name was Enza

I opened the window

and in influenza

 

Often heard as children played during the 1918 Spanish flu.

I was going to give my honest opinion of his slogan, but decided that a ban by the mods wasn't worth speaking my mind .....

If it was "I'm One of You"!

 

That would be one of his first ever near truthful public statements I believe! 

 

PS; I am not sure if I am either being generous to him re his IQ or belittling the Thai kids!

At present, Thais have never been so disunited except shortly before a coup.

The nation doing the building is China.

Thailand's only loyalty is to the baht.

As for virtue, one need only look at his cabinet ministers.

And there was me thinking that Thailand hated communism.

Ah, but Thailand is the land of compromise...

 

How do "Children unite Thai's to build the nation" - Do children use those white ribbons to physically form a human 'chain' and then once shakled, they are forced into labor?

 

With loyalty and virtue - To whom should they be loyal? To thine ownself be true? Thai people? Prayut?

It's not terribly clear, but it is pretty terrible.

Snappy, catchy and easy to recall...with sufficient chanting practice during school hours.

They are.   You are threatening them with violence and jail time like your predecessors.

Which is basically what the kids at the protest are trying to achieve now....They even have a 3 finger salute to go with it!

 

BUT........this self appointed junta/govt keeps hitting them with water cannons & worse...

I like the shorter version "Green is Good."
