Popular Post webfact Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Picture: Daily News Extraordinary comments were made by Thailand's Minister of Health and DPM on Thursday evening at a function in Chiang Khan, Loei in the north east, notes ASEAN NOW. Comments that may one day come back to haunt the outspoken minister not well known for being a shrinking violet. Nearly two years ago he was shouting at a "farang" for not accepting his gift of a mask. Now he was boasting that Thailand was much better than the rest of the world in keeping Covid-19 at bay. Daily News used his nickname "Sia Noo" in their headline. Sia is a name for a rich businessman - Anutin is a billionaire. Noo means mouse (or rat). Mighty Mouse might be an accurate translation though as he presided over an event celebrating the opening up of Thailand it appeared more like Mighty Mouth! Here's what he said. He called Covid "krajork". This is a word for a sparrow but is generally used to mean "inferior" or low class. Visitors to Thailand are sometimes teased with this word if they don't spend much. He said that Covid-19 had devastated the whole world but claimed that Thailand had stood up to it. He dismissed the threat of the new Omicron variant adding that in time people would just need one jab as Covid would be just like a local infection, just like 'flu. He said that Covid couldn't beat the Thai health service that he heads. "It's no match for our doctors", he boomed. Next year there was tons of vaccine available, he said. You'd be able to get 3, 4 or even five doses of "government vaccine". There was absolutely no need to "go private" (and pay for it) he spouted in his speech.

Popular Post mokwit Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 So was there any need to close everything down and bankrupt people?. Luckily for Thailand people with lots of cash are taking over the closed businesses and restarting them. 3 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post klauskunkel Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Being boastful may have awed simple folk 1 or 2 generations back, and politicians have overused this particular speech tool to drone out critics and make them superior to anyone else. Nowadays it just shows how outdated this kind of mindset is. Anutin, your shelf life has expired. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post outsider Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Wow. Such a blatant display of stupidity and ignorance. It is precisely this kind of unintelligent ignorance, idiotic arrogance and general dumb<deleted>ery that gets you in deep sh|te, Anutin.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Thailand stood up to Covid, says the imbecile. Really? So, if that is the case, why can't millions find work? Why is homelessness exploding like never before? Why are suicides skyrocketing? You and Prayuth will likely go down in history as the two goons who destroyed tourism, a once vital industry, and ran the economy into the ground. Sabateurs. Goombahs. Creeps. Dunces. Do you even realize the extent to which you are despised? 25 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he was boasting that Thailand was much better than the rest of the world in keeping Covid-19 at bay. After 20,000 plus deaths thanks to his inability to get his citizens quickly vaccinated with good quality vaccines, nothing short of manslaughter IMO. He also stated, " There was absolutely no need to "go private" (and pay for it) he spouted in his speech. I always want to throw up when I hear Mighty Mouse speak his total BS.
