seajae Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 going on the 30% rule that means someone will pocket a goodly amount for doing it, anything to boost their personal accounts, why do something for the general population when you can pocket millions for doing this sort of thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Filed under "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse." Who benefits by shelling out the equivalent of $3+ million USD of taxpayer money to two entertainment personas? Thailand should leave entertainment to the private sector.

rudi49jr Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 If they put up a collection box and all cabinet members turn out their pockets and donate their loose change, I’m sure they will be able to raise 100 million baht, if not more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of Thailand has never heard of Andrea Bocelli and the other half think he is an Italian footballer or Andrea is a woman. Seriously, you can count the number of opera lovers in Thailand on one finger, let alone a hand.

Why is the Government getting involved in the entertainment industry or is it just a profit opportunity for certain gov't officials to get a New Year bonus?. There are some very talented people within the govt who are able to clean up the floor from any debris ie money very quickly....so fast it is gone in the blink of an eye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My Thai Lady is normally minimally political but is outraged. She suggested that the money be used to bring western vaccines to the rank and file Thai citizens. I strongly suspect she's not alone in this obvious conclusion. Once again the government doesn't fail to do precisely the wrong thing at the wrong time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov was going to spend 2.25 Billion baht on submarines last year. Shelved because of public outcry, but still under consideration. Maybe we can save the 100 million if there is enough outcry Peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
