Popular Post webfact Posted July 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2023 Former House Speaker Chuan Leekpai has rushed to defend Prawit Wongsuwan, after he was seemingly pictured asleep in parliament, and not for the first time. A viral photo appears to show the outgoing deputy PM, as famous for his watch collection as he is for his naps, having a snooze during the first parliamentary session of the incoming government earlier this week. The session on Tuesday, July 4, was held to elect the new House Speaker, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, leader of the Prachachat Party and two deputy speakers.

Or is it beyond your capabilities. Here is a starter from 30 years ago. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1993/06/22/Thai-prime-minister-under-attack-over-fugitive-brother/8392740721600/ BANGKOK, Thailand -- Opposition legislators Tuesday were barred from questioning Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai about his fugitive brother, who is wanted by police on charges ofembezzling $8 million from a Thai bank. House Speaker Marut Bunnag blocked an opposition motion that sought to determine why police have been unable to capture Chuan's younger brother, Raluek, four years after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Raluek Leekpai disappeared in 1989 after police issued a warrant for his arrest on charges he embezzled the equivalent of $8 million while working at the Thai Farmers Bank in the southern city of Songkhla. Some reports have said Raluek may have fled to the United States. Police Director-General Gen. Sawat Amornwiwat Tuesday denied rumors that Chuan has instructed police investigators not to talk to the media about Raluek's case. There is much more if you want to look for it. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more and different links for those who are interested and not too lazy to do their own searches. That particular thread is some 30 years old. I used to rspect Chuan and the Democrats back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many years ago when I was an apprentice aircraft engineer, a snooze during lunch break was common practice, some even went out to their cars for the nap. However one had to "clock-back-in" to restart work. One apprentice didn't wake up and remained outside asleep. Upon his absence being notice our instructor calmly said, "let him continue, while he's sleeping he still has a job" !! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Seems Prawit defamed himself. Will he sue? That makes about as much sense as a defunct pro-military Speaker defending a defunct PM Deputy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not make watches that have optional "motion sensor alarms" on them? I'm sure at the price they go for, they should have! Maybe one of the makers could market a "Prawit Special"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
