Advisor Urges Public Not to Criticise PM Paetongtarn for using iPad

Jirayu Huangsap, an advisor to the Prime Minister, has asked the public to refrain from criticizing the Prime Minister for using an iPad to read speeches.

 

He clarified that while the Prime Minister often speaks without a script, international forums require accuracy. At these global events, world leaders must adhere closely to prepared statements, as such agreements cannot be altered in the way impromptu speeches might be.

 

Jirayu emphasized that Thailand is stepping onto the world stage, and he urged Thais to show support for their leader.

 

Jirayu addressed recent criticisms surrounding the Prime Minister’s use of an iPad during the recent Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) summit.


 

He explained that the Prime Minister was following protocol typical for international agreements, where every word must be carefully read to maintain accuracy. According to Jirayu, this approach is necessary because international statements carry a weight that general speeches do not.

 

“Globally, citizens are more concerned about the substance and benefits of their leaders' actions rather than the medium they use to communicate," Jirayu said.

 

He stressed that these actions ultimately contribute to the country’s progress on an international level.

 

Jirayu also pointed out that the Prime Minister is comfortable speaking off-the-cuff at domestic events, but for significant global forums, prepared remarks are essential. He likened this to government policy announcements, where adherence to exact wording is required.

 

Jirayu concluded by urging the public to support the Prime Minister and work together to help Thailand advance on the world stage.

Why should there be any criticism, world leaders use such devices every day.

    Nobody expects from her to know what she is talking about. We should be happy that she is able to read (what her father wrote for her).

    What on earth is the complaint here? That the PM is using a prompt or that she is using an iPad. I realise that using an iPad shows poor taste, but it is a personal preference. All worl

    Is he using his hands to hide a smirk or his brown tongue?

she needs to read exactly what her father has told her too, she lacks the intelligence to use her own mind, failed uni but passed after her father paid the uni to do so, same with her brother, the thaksins are all full of $hit and do whatever is needed to make more money and run the country

i think the actual point is : can she debate in public .it is unusual that a person gaining the top job has not already shown their skills in a public forum and that it is not a square peg in a round hole.
