Migrant workers stand in lines to get COVID-19 tests in Samut Sakhon

 

The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has called for understanding and sympathy for Myanmar migrant workers who are being affected by a new surge of the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

“They are in the same boat as the rest of the country as far as the Covid-19 is concerned,” said CCSA spokesman Dr. Taweesin Wissanuyothin during a news briefing on Wednesday.

 

He said the migrant workers have made great contributions to the Thai society by working in sectors that most Thai people shun and they should be treated as part of the Thai society, especially in time of difficulty.

Can he please tell that to Prayut, and Anutin.  They are the ones that have been railing on them in their press reports.  Thank god someone has a sense of compassion in this Government.  I hope the good Doctor does not get sacked because of his frankness.

The average working Thai understands the plight of the migrant workers, it's when you get up to the company owner level and beyond it gets forgotten.

Just wondering whether the headline should read respect rather than sympathy.

Thank you Dr. Taweesin for your empathy and compassion.
