A set up????......rumors put out he wants to kill it.....she says no.....looks like she is strong and independent.

She didn't say no actually if you think about what she said. She went down the middle of the road saying she had not cancelled it but it require scrutiny to make sure it aligns with current economic guidelines. So in essence she isn't saying yes or no and giving herself an out if and when it gets approved or cancelled or delayed. She can put the blame on the new review

Another delay while funds are being sought?

 

Delay until it becomes another of those policies that are just around the corner.

After reading that the universal (30 Baht) healthcare system is short of money, perhaps an investment there would prove better for poor people.

"My father is not seeking any political position."

Putting it like this makes it as if he has a choice...

Be specific in your statement, Prime Minister: "My father has been convicted as a criminal by a Thai court and therefore may not hold any political position according to Thai law."

It is Paetongtarn's statement in the article under the current topic...

You might have seen it, if you had read it.

She may not age well considering the stress she faces under daddy's tutelage.

modernising our financial infrastructure

= installing a social-credit type financial-system, to control people via the ability to control and even "turn off" individual's ability to spend money, at the whims of a ruling elite.

 

The 10K Baht is the cheese to lure the mice into the trap - to convince people to install their own chains.

Paetongtarn directly addressed speculation that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra had a hand in halting the project.

 

She categorically denied any such interference

Wasn't it reported that her father met with the other party's guy on the golf course, and traded not re-classifying cannabis as a "narcotic," for the other party's support for the "Digital Wallet"?  

It seems he always supported it - though I stand to be corrected, if he has ever stated otherwise.

As I stated previously ditching this program would be political suicide. By following through with it after the media played up that it was being reconsidered will make her a political superstar. Not sure if this was by design but it will have a very positive effect on her image. Especially the standing up against Papa angle.

Indeed... especially if a 'new person' now profits from the 'funding' of this 'new'... 'revamped' digital wallet scheme...   And who better than to draw in the those 'willing' to donate than the puppeteer himself... 

....  

 

Once the Auntie's are home... 

...  the only thing I find tricky to predict is what policy are they going to use to vote buy in their next set of elections ?...

 

How to make people forget about  - new car scheme, rice scheme, iPad for every school child, and of course, this Digitial wallet which.... 'mark my words' will become so difficult to actually use only very few will benefit... 

 

i.e.  Sure... everyone gets a digital 10,000 baht... But it will only work though an app which has to be purchased and usage is taxed at 20% with an over-draft facility with interest at the highest legal rates...  winner winner...

Yeah, how she looks in a photo, is very relevant to the news and Thai politics.
 

Of course it´s a set-up! History tell a lot of times when Thaksin was giving away money to the people. Then it was mostly poor farmers, and now it will be other groups as well. Why would he not stand behind his old ideal.

I think it was a curve  ball to make her look strong

Good looks, money and no qualifications....other than Daddy as a former PM. (?)

I can think of another country with an equally qualified person in the drivers-seat - Canada with  Justin Trudeau...been working out well for them the past 11yrs 😉

No Paetongtarn, the digital Wallet is a dead Duck and you know this

If there ever was a PM who started with zero credibility we are witnessing this now. Just her association with her father, who sold out his soul, his party, and his people for his freedom, is enough to cancel out any possibility of integrity and good leadership. 

 

The people will not tolerate these goons much longer. My theory is that the army brass already knows this, and are now forming an escape plan. Hopefully into exile, but far better, into prison. 

 

They can fight a few tens of thousands. They cannot possibly beat many millions. And that is what we will see when this army created debacle is over with. 

 

They are utterly desperate to hang onto power, and access to the trillions of baht that likely generates for them. Using the LM and sedition laws shows how utterly intolerant of criticism these very small, very weak men are, that they need to hide behind and utilize these laws, to attempt crush the will of the people. 

 

The time is coming, when this will no longer be tolerated. Just wait. The army is on it's way out. It could take awhile, and it could get ugly, though it will never get to the hellish level of Burma, as the Thai parents would never, ever permit that kind of genocidal behavior from their sons. You take out one more Thai, and you are forever disowned by this family. That is all it would take to bring about mass defections from the army ranks. That would sure be fun to witness. Are the pompous generals going to put themselves into harms way? Never. They do not have it in them, they are cowards. 

You just cant help yourself. Cut and paste, cut and paste. Totally Pathetic
