Just a shame that respect doesn't cascade down the ranks.

They even lie to themselves!

I note the remarks regarding Core Values and would add, the core values remain the same, sadly their implementation has been somewhat lost from the top down and one wonders if this NEW man will be able to steer the RTP back to its core values which does not include scamming loads of money from the general public and running dubious places and companies

A one year sinecure to give him time to build ups his savings before retirement, is not an 'era'.

History would dictate that their core values have not and will not change! The status quo will be maintained! I may be wrong!

We all know what their traditions are, and the "Institution's" core values. What Thailand needs to do is to move away from all that graft in the INSITUTIONS, if indeed they want a new era and Move Forward. Sadly we know the RTP will not give up on their illegal incomes, they are above the law, unless it's an underling causing problems for their superiors.

Nothing seems capable of killing off the Dinosaurs here, even an asteroid would be uncapable. IMO
