malthebluff Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm sure if they counted the number of vaccines donated and had 1 million more then expected they could work out where it came from. ( that if it has been counted and not hidden ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonkey Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 scandalous. Which ever way you look at this it is scandalous. Either Anutin and his cronies are so disorganized that the offer of a million doses does not reach him (highly doubtful). Or they are so inept they cannot complete paperwork to enable the importation of the vaccines (also highly doubtful). Or, he simply doesn't want to accept the donation. Hmmm now I wonder which it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Nothing this incompetent could do or say would mean anything, at this point. The saying "all credibility is lost" was invented for you Anutin! Nobody believes anything he or Prayuth say. Thailand desperately needs policy, competent ministers with experience in the fields their ministries are in charge of, and at least a tiny amount of vision and planning. Prayuth and Anutin lack every pre-requisite. So do most of the ministers. Likely the two least qualified and least effective of the lot. One would think during a national emergency, a skilled and talented tourism and health minister would be considered important. He does not inspire confidence, as he has no follow up in his game, is highly insincere, and is grossly incompetent and under qualified for the job. One would think after 7 plus years he has had time to learn. That does not appear to be the case. He is a terrible health minister. This kind of national emergency is real proof that Thailand should never allow another coup to happen. With a civilian government that is democratically elected, and a truly representative body in the senate, Thailand at least has a chance of qualified ministers being appointed based on merit and talent. With Prayuth and this army, there is little chance of this ever happening. They are re-defining the words cronyism and inept on a daily basis. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true it is treasonous given the current situation, why is this tolerated by the General and people of Thailand! Because by default the general is complicit and the general public are possibly not fully informed or are aware their thoughts are of no importance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litlos Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 My take is a little different. Despite the US embassy denying that there were strings attached to the first 1.5million doses, there were, remember one of the many generals standing up at some gab fest and saying 10% had to go to expats and so much to health care workers etc, well I have had that fact confirmed by 2 different doctors, thank you USA by the way as I benefitted. I feel that Anutin or one of his cohorts did not like being told how to distribute the windfall so decided to treat the US to some Thai bureaucracy for the second batch. Now just a face saving exercise as it has become public. Truly despicable actions though, and I hope one day to see the karma delivered for it.

It's the fake wings that stick in my craw as well, my Dad was in 2 Para, the Royal Engineers, and 4 Royal Tank Regiment over a twelve year Army stint. He got One (1) general service medal with a Malaya clasp, and wings he bloody well earned. I loathe these two bit fancy dress goons with a visceral hatred. The military are the problem here, and their societal worship of it (Army Day?) makes me want to throw up in my own mouth. They claim never to have been colonized, BS! They bent over for the Japanese, after 3 days of skirmishes, and did a deal. And no less than Churchill wanted them to pay for that, but somehow, they slimed out of that reckoning too! And another thing, the Burmese, in better days, handed them their butts on more than one occasion.

Thailand paid twice as much for Sinovac as compared to AZ etc. China donated 100,000 to ensure their citizens were vaccinated, plus a bit of spare. A few other countries did the same. The US told Thailand that 10% had to go to "Dirty Falangs" as well as 20% to frontline health care workers. So no cut in accepting a donation and having to do as told, also no kickback for buying US vaccines as the US Government will prosecute any company who does. Join the dots.

From my interaction with Thais they might feel the same no one unless they have a choice want the the useless stuff the leaders can't answer the call find the paperwork or complete it unless they have a bit of light and that isn't going to happen when they got their head up the butts of the CCP???? The goal has always been to monopoly with the use of AZ, accepting more would of Pfizer would only reduce the profit of making AZ, reason they didn't want to join Covax? in the beginning. Yes, China complained when Thais refused their vax and waited for the western ones, they were progressing toward Chinese hegemony in Thailand nicely until that reality presented itself. The khakis are ready to play ball but the rest of the people are dragging their heals until they get an incentive to sell out also, like Chinese paying retail prices to buy up the property. The trainline from China to BKK should be ready by then... In the end, Thailand will find it finally has become a colony, or at least China's Florida???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's somewhat irritating that people like him gain the treasure, status, and power they do.
