If they have to take a position or decide on something else but food or fun, then they love to be ........ absent. Unless in an ICU on life support, all those absentees should be fired immediately without any possibility of ever taking a political position ever again. How can you be absent during such an important meeting, really! Perhaps when you are appointed to a well paid job you do as you are told to do. That does not mean that what you are told to do. is the rightful thing to do. IIRC the senators are paid 100,000 monthly (and probably expenses and perks are freebie extras), 6,000,000 thb (++) is a nice little earner over 5 years, simply for doing as you are told. No thinking involved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caldera Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 Their absence is indefensible. If they had any honor whatsoever, they would all step down, as they can't even perform the duty they were undeservingly given. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 It shows exactly where their priorities are. And that is definitely not the future of the country. All abstaining, not voting or not showing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they spent 5 days a week or 20 days a month at the senate the would reap 2,562,720 thb per year before tax and over a 5 year period they would turn over 12,813,600 thb before tax plus of course the Free car Health insurance Travel allowance. So the 250 senators would cost the Thai people 3.203,400,000 thb over 5 years IF they all bothered to turn up for work. That does not of course take into account the normal salaries that they get as well. Money for old rope and the saddest thing is that the Thai people are forced to tay them without being represented by them. Are they good value for money? Personally, I wouldn't give 25 satang for the whole lot of them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the people who need investigating by the constitutional court. Sadly, the judges of the court were handpicked by the junta as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have a feeling their decision was premeditated... smells as if China is working on the background with EC and senators, thus democracy will never be implemented here or implemented if if follows the Chinese way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
