Cabinet invites citizens to continue wearing yellow and pink shirts into coming year

Assistant Spokesman of the Office of the Prime Minister Colonel Prachasan Chanasongkram (ประชาสัณห์ ชนะสงคราม) announced following the weekly Cabinet meeting that as citizens have worn yellow and pink shirts in honor of His Majesty the King’s 80th birthday throughout the year, the Cabinet would like to invite citizens to continue wearing the shirts next year.

Colonel Prachasan stated that the Cabinet saw the act as honorable and would like citizens to continue to wear yellow and pink shirts in celebration of His Majesty the King.

The Cabinet invites citizens to wear the shirts at their own discretion and does not consider the matter a decree.

I wore pink yesterday (it was Tuesday, after all) and am still considering painting the entire CBR motorbike an intense flash color pink. Pink power!

Assistant Spokesman of the Office of the Prime Minister Colonel Prachasan Chanasongkram says you can wear pink, or yellow or not.

Can't help wondering if any of the members of the cabinet has a financial interest in the polo shirts factories.

I saw the first yellow and pink hooped shirts on sale yesterday. Now you don't even need to opt for yellow or pink - you have both in the same shirt !

It would be nice if wearing a yellow or pink shirt would somehow improve the economy of the country. But, details...
