BANGKOK (NNT) - The prime minister is calling on all sectors to provide their support toward sub-district level development, in order for the foundation of the country to be strengthened amid the fight against COVID-19.

 

Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha and his deputies were jointly briefed on the fiscal year 2021 work results of the International Security Operations Command (ISOC).

 

The prime minister asserted that ISOC was not a political agency, and had the responsibility of supporting and observing the resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers. The agency works in accordance with administrative and military development-related directives for the purpose of fostering safety in people’s lives and assets. Gen. Prayut added that ISOC adhered to the 20-year national strategy and the 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan.

 

The prime minister took the opportunity to urge all sectors to place importance on subdistrict-level development, which he believed would contribute toward robustness at the district level and province level, and enable communities to navigate the COVID-19 situation.

 

Gen. Prayut noted that the global community admires Thailand for being able to manage its Covid situation well, saying he wanted to ask all parties to comply with disease prevention measures so the nation can move forward and other problems may be addressed.

I thought "Internal Security Operations Command"?

 

Anyway, whatever, given that it is essentially a military organisation, and given this government's, umh, origins, it is about as political as you can get!

 

I assume that the bloke in his nightshirt and the chap in the yellow pyjamas were dragged out of bed after the night shift to join the group photograph...

Firstly, ISOC = Internal Security Operations Command.

 

Secondly, it was set up the American CIA, sorry US military, in 1965 initially called the Central Security Command., to counter communist insurgency in Thailand and win the hearts and minds of the Thai people.

 

Thirdly, it was not terminated when the 3 Indochinese countries joined ASEAN or when the cold war ended, or when the communist threat ended, as the Thai military saw it as a tool to control the people.

 

Finally, various groups associated with ISOC were involved in the 6 October, 1976 Thammasat University massacre, as well as a multitude of other acts of violence against thouse who challenge the Thai status quo.

More waffle than a bakery.

ISOC is foremost a MILITARY intelligence agency tasked with population surveillance, the persecution of political dissent, news manipulation, as well as army and government propaganda dissemination, Mr. Prayuth.

 

If you call that "national development", you truly are beyond any help.
