[webfact]

Sanook Thai Caption: Satisfied with govt leader's handling of flooding

 

As part of a survey about the recent floods Super Poll asked Thais if they were satisfied with the performance of Prawit Wongsuwan, the acting PM.

 

45.9 % said they were.

 

18.7% were non-committal.

 

35.4% said they were not satisfied

 

1,105 people were asked their opinions between September 15th to 17th.

 

They also gave their opinions about which pictures in the press had the most effect on them.

 

95.3% decided it was royal help that had the most impression as well as images of the police, military and rescue services helping victims of the floods, reported Sanook.

 

Danger to the public was of most concern.

 

ASEAN NOW notes that Super Poll findings are invariably positive for the government and institutions in Thailand. 

 

They always seem to find the "right" people to ask.

...put on women's clothing and hang around in bars. What is he wearing?

 

"However, most of the people, 45.9% satisfied with the government leader, Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, went to the flooded area to solve the problems of the people. government flooding solution...

and 83.4 percent said they had no food to eat."

Er, doesn't most mean >50%?

1100 out of 67 million that is a super poll to be sure. If you are going to carry out a poll at least have the integrity to take a reasonable percentage of the population not just the people in your local 7-11.

Were these pollsters living on high ground???

What an amazing survey!  Nothing has been done to prevent Bangkok and surrounding provinces sliding under the sea since the dire warnin signals given off by the great floods of 2011. The Yingluck government had 3 years to work on it and claimed an emergency budget which presumably disappeared into Thaksin's pocket but nothing was done. Prayut and Prawit followed the same trend and have done nothing to prevent flooding in eight years in power.  And yet a survey found that nearly half the people are satisfied with this.  God help us.

Or those living in the mountains well away from any flooding.. 

 

[BonMot]

Lol. Nearly half.

 

So, at least 55% well over majority are not.

 

Who writes this cr*p?

 

 

Headline:

Well over half Thais polled are not satisfied....

[Aussieroaming]

Nearly half of the people polled found Prawit to be witty, hence his new nickname Halfwit.

1,105 people not living in a flooded area.

Things must be really bad if Super Poll can't get a 97% approval rating for a senior government figure.

As a whole  the Thai are not good or keen doing very long-term, difficult project to ultimately resolve infrastructure or society or whatever issue.  This is in Thai trait and actually quite different from many other Asians ( Japanese/Koreans/ Chinese etc ) .

Instead the Thai tolerate and endure rather than demand ultimately tackling the long-term problems. 

 

An example to infrastructure issue,   Bangkok terrible traffic had  been known worldwide even as far as late 1960's,  and how is it now ?

 

This sampling result does not surprise me.    Many long-stay foreigners/expats do not understand Thai mentality well.   This include the writer of this article noting the last sentence   :     ' They always seem to find the "right" people to ask.  '

 

About survey,  1105 is a fine sample size.  Anything over 500 is a fairly good size showing data  convergence if not mistakenly ( intended or unintended )  in the draw.   

 

[Mavideol]

and they have the face to post results of a poll from 1,105 people, no social background, no age range, etc., in other words 1,105 relatives/acquaintances of current government cronies how stupid do they think people are ????
