My local M. Ban had a meeting on Saturday and there was a heated discussion and much anger vented on the Puyai Ban.

There was an overwhelming majority who voted against accepting it and they wouldn,t be moved or influenced by the chosen few who generally benefitted from past loans.

They powers that be ( PUYAI BAN ) had already earmarked it to provide sub.foodstuffs and essentials via / their local shop.

Seemingly it was one misuse of funds to many

Like i,ve highlighted several times before, you only have to walk around the village to see who has got most out of these hidden bribes / rewards as provided by the elected Gov. officials.

I was well pleased when it went into extra time ( 3 hours ) and they had to send them back into the big begging bowl of plenty im Bangkok, at the despair Of and for the chosen few of course
