Lite Beer Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 PM meets flood committee before start of upcountry trip BANGKOK, June 10 - Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is due to meet with National Water Resources and Flood Policy Committee (NWFPC) before leaving the capital to inspect progress of flood prevention measures in the provinces. Sansanee Nakpong, a government spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview that the prime minister will convene a meeting on Monday with the NWFPC before embarking on a four-day trip to eight provinces, covering areas from upstream to downstream. The four-day flood trail excursion would take her to Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Tak and Chiang Mai. Ms Yingluck also ordered ministers to inspect provinces and will meet them and governors at the Chao Phraya dam in Chai Nat on June 13, the spokeswoman said. The trip is aimed at checking readiness in water management to handle potential flooding in the rainy season. As part of flood prevention measures, real-time information on the water situation has been prepared. Moreover, drills in response to flooding will be conducted, Ms Sansanee said.

GentlemanJim Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 So why doesn't she send a man to check it all out, who can then come back and brief her whilst she displays some leadership during one of the greatest political crisis in years?, Doh! I just woke up, I have been sleep typing again, what a bizarre dream I just had, Yingluck was in the house leading her party, wait a minute, that isn't a dream, that's pure fantasy. So would anyone like to hazard a guess where she will go week commencing 18th, if they have not done the sensible thing and closed Parliament for a recess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer is at the end of the third para of the article...... and probably to the high ground thereabouts to keep the family jewels dry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahvail Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Well, since by all accounts the north and downstream are relatively dry at the moment...why doesn't she go South where peoples' homes are inundated by meters of water? just askin' as they say... edit: typo Edited June 10, 2012 by noahvail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonclark Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 How much has the PM cost the taxpayer in expenditure to cover her trips. I bet it's a heck of a lot more then those poor buggers got or may get for flood compensation. The government is like a ship without a captain.

Just wondering if the 'embarking' is figure of speech, or if the PM is indeed going up and down on one of MoSc Plodprasop's boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Go south ??? No political mileage in that region for the lady and her family, so no chance of funds being sent that way either. Remember Thaksins tactics of withholding funds from various areas that didn't vote in one of his M.P.s a few years back ?

LuckyLew Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 She is going to inspect flood prevention measures Key word being prevention, why would she go south? Nothing to prevent, they are already flooding? And there is no doubt in my mind, her trip to inspect will surely be helpful and will help out matters. No doubt there will be lots of photo ops and great press showing how great of a job she is doing as PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to laugh at "The government is like a ship without a captain." That would be a improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
