Half-Half resurfaces in yet another month when no one can blink

[webfact]

It takes something special to make people miss Loong Tu, said a YouTube comment posted by someone who obviously is not Prayut Chan-o-cha’s biggest fan. That “something special” might be something called “Digital Wallet”.

 

The comparison between the Half-Half programme and the Digital Wallet agenda has often been made ever since the Pheu Thai Party unveiled the latter.

 

But debates on the pros and cons of both economic rescue plans are intensifying thanks partly to the start of Digital Wallet registration, and partly to the song “We miss Loong Tu”.

 

The song became a hit at a peculiar moment, coinciding with Thailand’s entry into yet another period of high political drama.

 

The Constitutional Court is set to rule on the futures of the main opposition party, Move Forward, and Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. Pheu Thai’s de facto patriarch, Thaksin Shinawatra, is also approaching the virtual end of restrictions on his political activities.

 

Most analysts think Move Forward’s legal existence is hanging by a thread, meaning they believe a dissolution verdict is highly possible. But they are divided on what happens next.
