Krabi residents urge General Prawit to crack down on drugs as national poll gives him a thumbs down

[webfact]

 

by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor

National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) opinion poll on Sunday shows that more than 63% of people are not satisfied with the acting PM’s performance and comes six days after he was pictured, apparently asleep, at a meeting on Monday in Krabi although he has stoutly refuted the claim.

The brutal murder of three high school students in Krabi last Tuesday was on the minds of protest groups who, on Friday, submitted a letter to security authorities in the province which is to be forwarded as a matter of urgency to acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan even as a police crackdown and raids on 20 locations in a northern area of Krabi took place hours later resulting in eleven arrests.

 

The submission to General Prawit comes as a national poll on Sunday showed a negative response to his short time at the helm of government with over 80% of the public clamouring for a General Election in Thailand.

Leader ship of the government in Thailand inadequate TIT

[Aussieroaming]

He was definitely deprived of oxygen when he was born.

[4MyEgo]

He needs to get out of the office, make appearances, change watches daily so people can see that he's not just sitting on his rear.

Looks like he wasn't spared milk though , and quickly progressed to solids.

Does it matter though ?

The forced through constitution gives them a massive electorial edge and if by chance they lose , the tanks get mobilised.

No it does not matter. But the article is about popularity and not the constitution

[spidermike007]

Now that the Covid numbers are down it is time for the people to show their extreme dissatisfaction with the dinosaurs, and take to the streets. This administration has been very destructive. They are toxic, they are not capable of bringing the economy back from the precipice and they are moving Thailand backwards. People should be alarmed. 

 

Prawit, Prayuth. Same, same. The nation needs frrshnenergy, fresh ideas and real progress. It won't come from this party. The army is useless. 

[tomazbodner]

That results must be hard for him to watch...

[kcpattaya]

Uncle and Prawit. 
A lovely duo.
They will remain in our thoughts for many years to come....

The vast majority of the Thai populous are sick and tired of the whole government... they want a free election as to what party they want in power and a free vote as to who the next leader will be.

No more rigged elections with a PM elected by the inner circle.

If Prayut stays and this continues every Thai should down tools and protest in their home areas.

In a free and open poll, it is doubtful their approval rating would be over 5%. They are despised like never before. They have failed the nation and deserve nothing but scorn, derision and disrespect. They are all empty suits. 

[Dont confuse me]

Thumbs up or down it doesn't matter he's staying! 

Somehow he's gotta keep he's weight up ....

[Sydebolle]

Let the present team of leaders just carry on until they outstayed their welcome. Riots are next and, if in sufficient numbers, it might finally tilt the jar - a long overdue element in the democratization of this country. 

[Kalasin Jo]

Clamouring for a general election. So really it's not him whether or not he's asleep at the wheel it's the current leadership whoever from it is at the wheel.

It's past time to retire the Boomers and hand the reins of power to the next generations.
Not just Thailand but globally.

*Caveat:  I'm a boomer.

Which part is 'his rear?' If he was another inch faller he'd  be round. In his favour, sales of skin whiteners and lipstick have increased.

I interpret that as, 'Fatty has refuted the claim of sleeping on his watch'!

[Andycoops]

The fat controller sleeping on the job, weighed down by the lunchtime pies and million baht wrist watches, such a sad man.

Perhaps that is why all the Stryker APCs are stationed in barracks around Bangkok, and not in the south where they are desperately needed.

[chalawaan]

You mean the guy, who, as a serving General, was implicated by his own police force in human trafficking?

And had the only honest cop in Thailand sent into exile or face certain death down in the restive south? That guy?
