Proposed amendments to the Official Information Act are aimed at protecting state secrets, contrary to the law’s original goal of securing the public’s right to access government data, critics warn. 

 

The draft amendments would prohibit the disclosure of any official information deemed potentially damaging to the monarchy or its security. They also cover information on military affairs and national security, among others.

 

The prohibitions are listed in an added chapter titled “Information Prohibited from Disclosure”.

To hide their dealings with China during pandemic

After this is over and Prayut is safely retired with a Putin style clause to protect him, we might find China owns quite alot of Thai infrastructure

That's been the case for many years. Nothing to do with virus.

I'm surprised the Thai's have any 'state secrets'.

They've never invented anything, their army is only good for a bit of gardening in a general's private home.

 

What's there to protect?

 

The secret Somtam recipes.

Corruption is endemic and is rife everywhere already and under the army Muppets has only got worse despite the current Czar saying he would stamp it out 7years ago before realising he wouldn't last long if the status quo changed.

It wouldn't make much difference to the public as any challenge made against the government is met with false claims of deformation. Information disclosures are not made available to courts to challenge them.
