A General who is a close associate of PM Prayut and involved in the 2010 military crackdown on PTP protesters. Obviously a champion of the People. Not.

What happened to PTP's candidate civilian politician and educator Sutin Klungsang? Not left enough for the military?

Considering that the list posted in the article was released last month and that Sutin has been the Defence Minister since the 1st of this month…???? it looks like another ‘own goal’ article.

New Cabinet shines light on the dark side of Thai politics

 

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s Cabinet is poised to take up its duties after being sworn in before His Majesty the King on Tuesday. The new government is due to deliver its policy statement in Parliament on Monday (August 11). However, controversy has erupted over the appointment of certain ministers, given their questionable backgrounds and tainted records.

 

Wanwichit Boonprong, a political science lecturer at Rangsit University, said Srettha’s Cabinet lineup looks like the result of a “sharing of benefits” among coalition partners.

 

He went as far as to describe some appointees with the euphemism “influential figures”. “I don’t want to call it a ‘mafia Cabinet’, but these people are considered influential figures with political connections. The legitimacy of their appointments is being questioned,” the academic said.

A new light on the dark side of Thai politics..

Old faces.. how so a new era?
 

Same old, same old cronies tying up access to the trough amongst themselves, as the people's choice is totally ignored.

Your only choice is to pick from the <deleted>ter when that happens your going to get one thing ????

Just another example of how the govt. is moving the country backwards, one month at a time. They won't stop until they've reached the Jurassic, 

At a glance, the cabinet line-up is definitely more qualified and competent than the previous. The next 4 years will certainly better than the last 9 years. 

A stunning array if thieves, murderers, drug smugglers and fraudulent misrepresentation, and to cap that off the younger brother of the "watch" man!

One comment I have heard from locals is that they will not vote at the next election, for what is the point when the people they vote for get the most votes and are not allowed to win?

why bother to vote, for what?

The lady in the front row, third from left failed to pull down her cuff to conceal an asset whilst all others did. The good news is that 'It's not over 'til the fat lady sings'

can't understand why a guy with a past as he has still part of the government,... previous military government of corrupted cronies gave him a post as he may have had dirt on some of the members, but the new "so called democratic" government couldn't find anybody with a better past
