Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha hit back at opposition MPs today, accusing them of distorting facts to discredit his government, undermining public confidence and constantly seeking to create conflicts in the country.

 

On the second day of the no-confidence debate today (Wednesday), the prime minister told the House that he has been listening attentively to the points raised by the Opposition and has, so far, not found any worthy of consideration, although he had not expected them to speak positively about him or his administration.

 

“It is normal for them to oppose, but they must also put the country first,” said the prime minister, as he maintained that he is doing everything for the good of the nation, even though he may fail in some areas.

Listening and getting angry inside.  Lucky for them he did not spray them with alcohol hand sanitizer.

Fail in some Areas, really?  I have yet to see one he has excelled at, Oh wait he bought submarines...foolish me.

Undermining public confidence suggests there is some charge him with spreading fake news ???? 

[shocky2012]

There is a big difference between listening to understand and listening to respond.

[jazzdog32095]

That coming from a premier fact distorter.

Get FACT

Nothing you and your merry little band of misfits haven't achieved all by yourselves. 

[internationalism]

apparently his boss is going to dispose of him.

likely gen apirat "red buffalo" will replace him - that one is seriously emotionally unstable nut. His father made a coup at his time. He is bloodthirsty

Is this not the duty of an 'opposition party' regardless of which country you're talking about?

 

It sounds like he's just discovered the difference between being a 'politicial' and an Army General.

As a politician you will be subjected to constant ridicule by your many haters, that's just the way it works. If he doesn't like it then he should quit.

Wasn't there a recent poll said over 90% were not happy with his handling of the covid crisis ? Does he really think that 'distorting fact to discredit his government' was responsible for 9 out 10 people being dissatisfied ?  Guy is totally deluded

[Soikhaonoiken]

It doesn't take much to discredit these bunch of clowns.... 

[Aussieroaming]

Yeah, comments suggesting that none of the opposition points hold any credance will certainly go down well with the Thai public, who are sick of the way that issues are just swept under the carpet. What a muppet.

I am sorry to say I attributed those factors to quite a few of his comments in the last few months......

[alien365]

I thought it was the oppositions job to criticise the government. Isn't that part of having a democratic system?

It is, Prayut just does not like his words, many are lies, used against him.  As the General in charge of the Military no one would ever dare to criticize him, and he feels that as the Leader of the Junta/now Government it should be the same.  He is a very delusional man unfortunately.  He is a "Do as i say, not as I do" individual a man of double standards and scared of loosing all the power he has held for most of his life.  Maybe if he moved aside and became the new General Prem, an advisor only when needed, this country could move forward instead of languishing.....sigh

If P's replacement is the man mentioned then most definitely.

[brucegoniners]

And they haven't made any good points? Yeah, sure they haven't man.

"PM accuses Opposition of distorting facts, bent on discrediting government"

 

The Prime Minister doesn't need any distorted facts.

 

Its well know that this government sucks.

[crazykopite]

The PM needs to open his eyes and realise that the good citizens of Thailand are not fools they have witnessed on a daily basis the incompetence of the PM along with the rest of the clowns who are part of the administration 

[Laughing Gravy]

Throwing his rattle out of the pram as usual. Grow up.

[klauskunkel]

Watched the debate with the TV sound off and Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" on loud.

Delicious.

That would be on par with leaders like Gaddafi, Mugabe and Hussein.

The facts have probably not been " distorted " , but merely clarified.

Only in a democracy.

[Boedog]

Grandmaster Prayut has repeatedly told them that he is the only one who can distort the facts, undermine public confidence and creat conflicts in the country, on the second day of the no- confidence debate which has been going on for years.

Grandmaster also stated that he is doing everything for the good of the nation although he may fail in some(most)areas just imagine if this wasn't the case and he put the well-being of himself his bagmen and all his corrupt friends first, he is laughable.

Amazing Thailand the land of Hubs,Sandboxes, lies and corruption 

[spidermike007]

This con artist will say, or do anything to deflect from the reality, that he is the most destructive force in Thai politics, in decades. He has set Thailand back to a shocking degree.

 

All credibility is lost. Anything he says at this point is likely to be a lie, or result in broken promise. 

 

It is time that you be questioned. By parliament, by the voters, by all of us.

 

What have you gotten right? It now appears the lack of cases during the 1st wave was dumb luck. 

So many questions, and so few answers.
1. Why are the good vaccines still five months away?
2. Why not source some good ones in the interim? And why did you choose Sinovac, as the vaccine of choice. It is the cheapest. Is that why? It is certainly not the best, and it is likely the worst among the current choices available.
3. Why can't the private sector import the vaccines directly? Why does the stunningly incompetent government and health ministry need to be involved?
4. Why was there seemingly no planning, when it comes to the vaccination program?
5. Is this really the best they can do?
6. Why has Anutin not been replaced? His political connections aside, Thailand really needs competent leadership at this emergency juncture.
7. Is the government here (and possibly worldwide) totally bought and paid for, by Big Pharma?
8. Do the people of Thailand finally see how they have been misled, mishandled, bamboozled, forsaken, and abused by the hapless army, and the goons in charge? If they could not see it before, it is so obvious now. 

99% of the Thais I talk to are so far beyond fed up. And if the 3-5% who drank the kool-aid still believed, after this latest covid debacle, Prayuth, Anutin and the gang have been truly unmasked to a humiliating and inglorious degree.
 
Who could possibly still have any faith in their competence, and sincerity, at this point? 
 

[Sydebolle]

The chief clown of the circus has been listening attentively to the points raised by the Opposition and has, so far, not found any worthy of consideration.

Realistically though he had not expected them to speak positively about him or his administration.

Well, if he had not expected that, what did he expect then; standing ovations for ruining the country, emptying the state's coffers at a previously unseen high speed and impact while steamrollering 6+ million voters back in March 2019? 

On the other hand, if he and his cronies can "achieve" all this, then the country has not deserved any better - every country has the government it deserves and that gets eventually balanced over time if the pendulum tilts too strong to one or the other side! 

[mahtin]

"every country has the government it deserves"

 

So a military coup was deserved? Fixed election? Come on.
