snoop1130 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin wrote on his X account today that Time Magazine came to interview him in the middle of February, seeking to cover political issues since the new prime minister took office, saying that he was to be the main focus of their article. “The interview was enjoyable, although I anticipated more questions about Thailand’s politics. Instead, they were interested in Thailand’s standpoint, under my leadership, on controversial issues in world politics.” He reaffirmed to Time Thailand’s commitment to remaining unbiased.

They should be tougher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzaa09 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Rather revealing, reflective and typical of the likes Time/Life - somewhat championing the romance of the underhanded and corrupt manner of how he got here....never challenging or questioning the historic circumstances and delusions that is politic Thai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did the Thai taxpayer pay for this PR lie? In case anyone missed reading Joepai's posted link, an excerpt: "Srettha’s Pheu Thai (For Thais) party did not win May’s general election but came in second behind the anti-establishment Move Forward Party, whose radical manifesto called for bridling the nation’s generals, conglomerates, and royal palace. It was blocked from power by a military-appointed Senate despite securing a plurality of 151 out of 500 legislative seats. Pheu Thai then cobbled together a motley coalition of 10 royalist and establishment parties to secure Srettha the top job thanks to Senate backing." Interesting word "motley." 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
