PM Launches “Talk with Srettha” to Connect with Public

[webfact]

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is set to launch a unique initiative, "Talk with Srettha," aiming to foster direct engagement with the public. This new programme is scheduled to air on the third Saturday of every month, from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM on NBT2HD, providing a platform for the Prime Minister to communicate effectively with citizens.

 

The inaugural episode, set to broadcast soon, was pre-recorded on June 12 at the Government House. Hosted by Teerat Ratanasevi, a former government spokesman, the episode aims to set the tone for future interactions. The primary focus is to recap key government activities, both domestically and internationally, and to inform the public about ongoing government policies and initiatives.

 

Future episodes of "Talk with Srettha" will feature a variety of hosts. News anchor Arisara Kamthorncharoen and well-known presenter Puwanart Kunpalin are among the names slated to take on hosting duties in upcoming shows. The inclusion of different hosts aims to keep the programme dynamic and versatile, catering to a broad audience.

 

The format of the show includes summarising the Prime Minister's key activities and visits, both within the country and abroad. This approach aims to provide transparency and keep the public well-informed about the government's work and progress. There's also scope for the format to be flexible, allowing for on-site broadcasts during the Prime Minister's travels, which could offer real-time updates and insights.

 

The introduction of "Talk with Srettha" signifies a move towards more transparent and open communication between the government and the public. By leveraging television as a medium, the government hopes to build trust and keep the public informed about its actions and intentions. As the programme evolves, it may well become a cornerstone of modern governmental communication.

Sounds more like "listen to Srettha", than "talk with" him.

I guess a common answer will be a variation of: Wait, let me check this with the boss first... 

[redwood1]

This quy already has the deer in headlights look even before the first question...

A take off from Prayut doing a TV show. I wonder why Sretta thinks it will boost his popularity? It did not work for Prayut. Either way, we do not watch Thai tv at home and noone I know will be watching this guy on tv as well. i can not wait for the first news release about how well the show was accepted by the people.

So, now the headmaster will be able to steer his puppet in prime time morning television as well. It´s amazing what privileges that can be given to a former convict at large. Now the people will get their chance to hear carefully constructed lies 30 minutes per month. Hurray!

That will leave 29.75 min left to prattle on about what,

I haven't solved any problems yet, but call me. You will get a chance to communicate with an unelected PM, who is a symbol of broken dreams of democracy.

So will these Hosts while on 'DUTY' be allowed to ask questions or just Kowtow to him.

 Have these Hosts got the guts to ask him any questions ? are they in fact even allowed to ? 

Like "PM why did you let the Burmese Junta, Launder Trucks full of money through Thailand ?  (tax free) "

        " But PM you said Thailand is neutral did you not ? So I'll repeat my first question " 

        " Do you consider the Junta to be your Friend "

  " Why do you keep trying to spend money, that obviously it doesn't have"

" PM you have not answered my question"

 

 Beth Rigby from Sky TV would have a field day.
