Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has announced his donation of three months’ salary, to help those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, during a meeting at the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) via video conference on 9 July. At least 15 deputy prime ministers, ministers and deputy ministers in the Cabinet have also expressed a similar intent. Democrat leader and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanavisit said the party’s ministers were willing to donate their salaries, to help those affected by the virus, adding that it was just a small gesture. Deputy Agriculture Minister Thamanat Prompow said the ministers from the Palang Pracharat Party will give up three months’ salary as well. Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob, of the Bhumjaithai Party, also announced that his party would join the cause. Meanwhile, House Speaker Chuan Leekpai said it is up to the MPs to decide if they want to donate their salaries, as he noted that several MPs have spent a lot more than their salary on helping people during the pandemic. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-07-11 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 Just now, Jonathan Fairfield said: were willing to donate their salaries, to help those affected by the virus, adding that it was just a small gesture. Yes a very small gesture, now if they donated their earnings for 3 months, now that would be a serious gesture. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a big publicity stunt. It deflects media publicity away from their gross incompetence in dealing with the said pandemic.

Popular Post Fex Bluse Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 What a joke of a country. This is a common Thai routine. The pooyai pretend to care for 5 mins by telling the uneducated public "we are temporarily stealing from you less" 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DBath Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) “At least 15 deputy prime ministers, ministers and deputy ministers in the Cabinet have also expressed a similar intent.” They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I wonder just how serious these ministers and deputy ministers are about following through with their ‘intentions’. The strong stench of fecal matter from yet another phony PR campaign is wafting through the air, once again.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 Whoever came up with this idea is an IDIOT. Just do your job. And earn your salary. By giving up their salaries they are revealing that they: don't need the money are not paid to perform can have another excuse for failure No one in an organization shoots down horrendous ideas like this. So you get in-bred decisions being made in a vacuum devoid of intelligence. Epic fail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James105 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I wonder how far this amount of money will go amongst the hundreds of thousands put out of work and now have zero income due to decisions made by these people. Would it even be a tenth of a single baht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucegoniners Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 They should all resign, including the PM! They've screwed this thing up so badly many people are dying and will die from this horrible disease. As well as this was handled the first year, it's been botched horribly since then. 79 deaths the first year and 95 yesterday? Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) so now every day there are articles, judging by many of them here on forum, about the government's and politician's generosity. Nothing short of an early, unregulated by the election commission, election campaign. Now, this government is backed and owned by several multi billion families. As long as they are getting richer (within the last year their capital increased by 20%), they would be funding this coalition for the second term. https://forbesthailand.com/forbes-lists/thailand-richest and here english translation https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40002991 Edited July 11, 2021 by internationalism 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 How about if the Thai people who own that 15 percent interest in Sinovac agree to distribute all their proceeds from that investment directly into the bank accounts of poor, displaced, and out of work Thai people?

Dont confuse me Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 If all the scum in power donated a third of their nett worth to the people that might have a short term effect. Not drawing a salary for a few months isn't worth talking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
