Beg, borrow and steal is this pseudo governments mantra.

Is this the best they have come up with since the last annoucement over a month ago? It will be time to return the swap with Bhutan soon won't it?

Anyone who has lent things will be familiar with the 'will return .. later' concept. It's rather similar to the 'free beer tomorrow' plan.

Remind me again of which country was boasting that it would be Astra Zeneca's vaccine hub for Southeast Asia?

Mutually supporting disease control efforts infers an element of equality between two nations. Being given test kits and vaccines from your first world neighbour because you don't have enough is a parasitic relationship, not a mutually supporting one.

Pathetic by this Government, borrow or steal,  What has happened to the own produced AZ which was going to save Thailand....
