webfact Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Pheu Thai Party Denies Alleged Flood Relief Boat Scams The Pheu Thai Party held a press conference denying claims by the Democrat Party that it tucked away boats intended for flood relief use and did not return them to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. The party said the allegation is an attempt by its rival to discredit its MP. Pheu Thai MP for Bangkok Jirayu Huangsap and former Pheu Thai MP candidate Mana Khongwuttipanya held a press conference at the Parliament to clarify alleged irregularities involving boats meant to be used for flood relief. The press conference came after Democrat Party MP for Bangkok, Wilas Chanpitak, took a group of journalists to inspect boats that belong to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and were kept at Soi Phetchkasem 48 in Paseecharoen District. Wilas alleged that Mana was in charge of overseeing the delivery of the boats to flood victims, but the boats actually went undelivered and were not returned to the department. Mana said the allegation is an attempt to discredit him and he affirmed that more than one hundred boats were distributed to affected people and they are being retrieved to be returned to the Disaster of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. He claimed that Wilas may want to tarnish his reputation because the Democrat is losing popularity, especially after the flooding Pheu Thai MP Jirayu said the Opposition party is trying to politicize flood relief and donation issues in the run-up to the 120-billion-baht central budget debate. -- Tan Network 2012-01-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be useful to see photos to see how "used" the boats are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissanc Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Pheu Thai people lie so much that if and when they tell the truth, we expect it to be another lie. When the Prime Minister lies, and the Big Boss lies, then one cannot expect the MPs to tell the truth. Personally, I expect the Pheu Thai response to the allegations to be lies.

You have a point there the very arrogance accusing or even thinking the red shirts can do some thing wrong. Pretty well sums up their open mindedness. Indeed it is a sad time for Thailand with that kind of minds running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falangjim Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It seems irony, despite it's depth and weight, flies right over the heads of some. How does depth and weight fly?

whybother Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Did the floods actually start in August or is that when the warnings started? Check the links - thats what they're there for. So the answer would be "That's when the warnings started. The floods didn't start until later" then. Edited January 5, 2012 by whybother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me grin this morning OzMick, take a bow. Dude, I meant and used 'flies' like insects, as a double entendre. Which can be read as fly's. Depth and weight also means, it had solid meaning, not empty, also it likely didn't try to fly very high, but 'some observers' are lower still. There also was a comma; it was the irony flying, it was described as having depth and weight. There is a phrase when someone doesn't understand something they were told, that it "flew right over their head". Pedantic reflux 101.

anterian Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 We had several government issue plastic boats in our village, very unstable, the seats broke within a day, then the paddles. Most people preferred homemade rafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
