This Lunar New Year, many high-profile politicians in Thailand are posting on social media to wish their followers a good and prosperous year of the Dragon. Thai PBS World compiles their messages for our readers.

 

PM, Srettha Thavisin’s post features an English phrase “Happy Chinese New Year” and Chinese couplets that read, 新年快乐、 万事如意 meaning “Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true.”

 

The Government House posted an official video of PM Srettha wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. In the video, he emphasises the Thai-Chinese visa-free policy and mentions that “Thailand always welcomes our Chinese friends and we are ready to ensure your safety… because Thais and Chinese are like siblings.”

It may come as a surprise to you Mr. Sretta, but if all the Thai dreams came true you would not be in the position that you're in right now, you would be fired immediately and perhaps sent into exile in a foreign land, and someone younger, smarter, and more competent, who had the wishes of the Thai people at heart, would be in control of the nation. Someone like Pita, the guy your cronies had eliminated from the position he was elected into, by the people you care so much for. 

 

So yes Happy New Year to you too.

Prosperous new year to all their followers who are mostly broke, while they all sit on millions.

10,000 baht each would have been a nicer idea than simple wishes of prosperity!
