Great word--very descriptive (and appropriate)

It is the right thing to do in an event like this. 

Never let a good tragedy go to waste as they say

Window dressing..

Which, if I read correctly Yesterday, amounts to about 100,000 Baht for the lost life of a baby, and a little more if Hospital treatment is required.

How dare you Prayut, How dare you !

What are you talking about?

 

This is equivalent to about 1 years salary for most people in that area, and will allow them to have a respectful funeral for their loved ones.  How dare you criticise the government helping the familes!

D'oh. The 150 photograpers might be hint. It was 5% sincerity and caring and 95% photo-op. That's the way the real world works, get used to it.

 

 

The PM bears full and direct repsonsiblity for this incident. The RTP report directly to the PM, a HUGE mistake made in 2002. Previously it was the MoI.

 

He needs to take responsibility. He won't. He needs to make changes ASAP, and not just shuffling the pawns around the board.

 

And having him in the dual role as Minister of Defense should NOT be allowed. Will a civilian PM - assuming there ever is one, be allowed to be MoD too? Uhm, no.

His Majesty is paying for the funerals

A very magnanimous event.  He should, after all he is the head of the country, and these are his people whom one of the disgraced RTP killed.  Sad that it ever came to this as it should have been taken care of years earlier by stripping the man of his job while also putting him in rehab.

How dare you post that a years salary is a realistic compensation for the loss of a child......so callous.

 

.

It's good to see that he cares so much about his own people. I kind of missed that before this horrible incident. We have a word for that havnt we?

And there is no negligence in this case by the RTP?  Come on now....not bashing either. You brought it up.

I don't think there is negligence by the RTP, do you?

The cop led of life of rule breaking while in the RTP, no consequences for his actions for over 2 years, carried on displaying violence and intimidation for all that time. It doesn't take a genius to realise that this learned behaviour sanctioned by officials who did nothing for 2 years led him to think he was above the law. After 2 years he was finally sacked but too late, damage done. My opinion only but basic psychology 101.

If you had quoted my full post it would have explained that to you

Very much.  Negligence in not terminating him back in 2019 after he was finally arrested for his possession of the drugs.  All they did was transfer him.  If I had an officer working for me, which I did, who was found under the influence and in possession of drugs, not only were they immediately suspended but an Administrative Internal investigation was conducted and they would be terminated.  They would also have been given the opportunity to rehabilitate, paid for by the department, and then assisted in finding a new job outside of law enforcement.......tell me they do this instead of just moving someone to an inactive post here.  The man also shot a dog if the articles about him are correct and fired rounds in his room....nothing more to be said, because all you can ever say about my posts are that I am bashing Thais.....I call BS on that.

 

I am happy to see the PM and the head of the country stepping in to help these families.

Too little to late I am afraid, and this is where the negligence and potential lawsuit suing the RTP and the government will be brought in.  Unless they are forced to sign papers stating that the money they accept absolves the Country and the RTP of any further lawsuits this will be big.  As I live here and so do you, I am sure we can expect to see more as time goes on, unless it gets buried.  National press is all over this by the way.

I agree. This is not the time to cast political rocks. They're assuming the PM has no heart and this is just a big show. I disagree. btw, one of those big checks he handed to a family was 200,000 baht.

and possibly, at least in your case, never let a good thread about the PM go wasted without an opportunity to ridicule him. Why not feel some compassion and be happy the families are receiving some financial assistance in this time of need? 

I've  got to say I was impressed by anitun I'm no fan but he was very good and first on the ground very humble I saw him at our hospital

Spot on. 

Bashing Pratud and Anutin is getting boring, and this is not the time to do it.

Anutin had done well, its only some expat who dislike him due to a mistranslation in the English gutter press about hygiene ????
