mtls2005 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Judging by the regime's response, one has to think this "Fake News" thing is the number one threat to the Kingdom. Evidently all the other problems, like COVID-19 and the resulting health-care and economic implosion aren't that big a deal. Am thinking that any country that has this guy as #2 is probably a failed state. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 A worrying direction..... because we know who will get to decide what is fake and what is not...... certainly not the reader. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoleBoy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Fact check! These politicians should keep their mouths shut if they don't want "fake news" going out. Where's the donated Pfizer going? Be transparent and show allocations for Frontline Workers to each province. Be transparent and show the doses going to people of need in ALL provinces. Be transparent and show the doses going to expats in ALL provinces. This would not be fake news, but transparency if these politicians really worked for the people of Thailand and not themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I was at Thonburi hospital today and met a security guard with perfect proper English who studied at Cambridge in engineering while young (!) and couldn't find better opportunities now in his 50s due to Covid. Last week, a bank manager at SCB kept asking my Retired friend where was his work permit while trying to send money to his daughter in Europe. He said, "next time bring your work permit"... to a retired man. Has the entire country gone mad??? Simply a consequence of patronage. The highly educated security guard doesn't know the right people. The bank manager is a well connected buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 "DPM Prawit calls for serious action against fake news" - well, maybe he should shut up and listen to the ever louder calls of the people calling for serious action to be taken by the government to move forward with this country. This might include clean-up of quite a few internal ranks, posting of proven professionals into the respective ministries and telling his governmental underlings to spend less time in Thonglor or sipping coffee at Phuket's beach and more at the desks for which they are voted into and paid for!

JonnyF Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Story about watch collection belonging to a dead friend? Totally true. Story about government corruption? Fake news. Welcome to Bizarro world. Remember to leave logic at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The master of fraudulent stories (remember the wristwatch saga?) calling for "serious action" against distributors of "fake news" (i.e. anything that is critical of the government). How ironic! Oh, and Mr. Prawit, before I forget it: Are you also going to take "serious action" against fake news spreaders within your own government? You know... those individuals who not very long ago claimed that "everything is under control", that Thailand is going to "vaccinate 1 million people per day" (a daily rate that not even the UK, the US or Israel achieved), or that Thailand will "import 10 million Astra Zeneca doses every month" (though the firm itself insisted in a statement that only a deal of between 3 and 5 million doses per month had been discussed). Or is the plan to apply that "serious action" only very selectively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I wonder if all fake news will be severely punished. Starting at the top. Ah, but that would be asking too much, I feel...

ben2talk Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Great news. Hope they start with '70% vaccinated already' news... then all the fake staged photos in the media with stories supporting the King, the Army, police (anyone remember how they initiated a crackdown on smoky busses with a single bus and photo opportunity?) and many other kinds of official bodies.
