Deputy PM instructs relevant authorities to ensure road safety

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - During the long weekend, Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has instructed the relevant authorities to ensure safety at tourist attractions and help prevent road accidents.

 

The Deputy Prime Minister instructed administrative authorities and the police to cooperate with the armed forces and the Ministry of Transport, in helping facilitate traffic and taking measures to reduce the number of road accidents and ensuring safety at tourist attractions, event sites. Meanwhile, shops are expected to be visited by a large number of people during the long holidays.

 

All relevant agencies have been instructed to ensure safety of both the main and secondary routes, especially to the event sites where a large number of people will gather.

 

People are asked to comply with public health measures and protect themselves. In border areas, disease screening must be conducted strictly and the authorities have to ensure that people who cross the border do so legally, so that they don’t have to arrest those involved in illegal border crossings.

 

Military officers in border areas are asked to patrol natural channels more often, to prevent a second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak that could be introduced.

Hmm. "Instructs". Normally, it's "Orders".

 

I smell a committee being required soon?

No where else needed, deaths as usual as they don't contribute to tourist revenue.

What measures? The idea that someone in power saying something that then translates into meaningful action is a farce.

Problem solved, or maybe not. King Canute springs to mind.

Once a week…. one of the court servants is detailed to wake the deputy PM….

 

“Sorry to disturb your rest Excellency, but it’s time to order something."

 

“Good, I’m getting hungry….bring me a family pack of KFC, six Big Macs, a kilo of French fries, two dozen Krispy Kremes for dessert, and a few liters of Sang Som to wash it all down."

 

“Of course Excellency…your normal mid-morning snack. But first could you give us your weekly instructions for the peasants? They get distracted when no one tells them what to do.”

 

“I don't know.... just think of something that sounds good on TV.....no one is going to listen anyway. Now bring me my food....so I can eat and get back to sleep."

 

“Of course Excellency. Very good, Excellency."

If he set his watch for the alarm to go off every 20 minutes - for that is how often a Thai dies on the road it seems - then maybe he'd be so annoyed at it going off , he'd actually stop doing nothing and do something.

Prawit: Listen to me you peasants.

Thailand is number 2 on road deaths and we need to get to number 3.

Is that what you said General pinochio?

 

[mrfill]

Instructions issued, so now its time to PARTY!!.....

 

And gazing into my crystal ball I predict..

- road casualties will be much the same as last year

- Drunk driving and excessive speed will be blamed for most crashes

- Rinse and repeat at next long holiday

[djayz]

Still laughing ???????????? It really is a laugh a day here. 

[Tanoshi]

Is this his attempt at winning the joke of the year award.

Telling people what to do without a proper formulated plan seems to be fairly common here.
