Thai Pm Orders Faster Action In Implementing Mega-projects

[stumonster]

Strictly from an economic viewpoint (politics aside), these mega projects are important. An economy grows primarily from consumer spending, private investment, government investment and net exports. Given what we know, consumers are not spending, businesses are reticent to invest and the growth in exports is slowing. Hence, that leaves the government to spend and this is exactly what they will be doing.

Many of those that will be building these projects are originally from upcountry and will be sending money back home. As long as these projects are financed responsibly (always a big if), they will benefit a lot more people than just politicians lining their pockets.

Proper expansion of mass transit is certainly worthwhile. Especialy here.

I just imagine how much more could be built for the same available money.

a proper rail system would be a good mega project to benefit the future - china is spending 445 billion dollars upgrading theirs .

alleviating traffic with a mass transit expansion would be nice , but I do not think it should be a priority.

It's not a matter of 'will anyone benefit?' it's all about 'to what price?'.

Like paying 500 million for a firewall-setup...

Wow its so easy to say anything that is not true about the government. Maybe you should back up your accusations about government policies with some proof instead of throwing in your comical remarks. Im curious to know how some of you are such experts in government spending and that in Thailand. Where your fathers in the government? Please explain your wild farang knowledge about government policy in Thailand?

Yes the website filtering is to protect the monarchy. Isn't that what PAD are so vocal in defending???. Whats your point? Just think of what your governments back home spend their budgets on and Im sure you will find many similar things. Put some substance to your arguements instead of these pity little bickering about these minor spending issues.
