webfact Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hesitating deputy premier decides to make southern trip By Digital Media BANGKOK, Dec 13 – Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubumrung today admitted anxiety over his latest assignment to fight against the southern insurgency, saying he would have turned down the job if Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra had informed him before the appointment. “I will make an inspection trip to the South now that my fear (of the southern violence) has subsided. I was initially concerned but I feel less anxious since the prime minister officially instructed me to do the job. I won’t tell you why I was afraid,” he said. Mr Chalerm, who was appointed director of the Operations Centre on Strategic Policy and Solutions to Problems in Southern Provinces, said the government is determined to solve the southern problems and it has so far fared better than the previous government under the Democrat Party. “We have not failed as claimed by some people,” he insisted. Citing insufficient manpower to cope with the southern crisis, the deputy premier said he has instructed the governors of five southern provinces to assign more peacekeeping personnel to subdistrict and village leaders since they know their neighbourhoods best. In his new capacity as director of the operations centre, Mr Chalerm said he will evaluate the authorities’ performance every six months, and the situation every 24 hours in order to improve regular operations without having to restructure the centre. He said he will also invite Democrat MP Tavorn Senniam to seek advice and exchange information on resolutions to southern problems as well as hold talks with high-level people in the field. The southern violence has worsened and hundreds of state-run schools are closed again following a spate of attacks, many fatal, against teachers, civilians and government personnel in the past few weeks.

thomash Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 "Citing insufficient manpower to cope with the southern crisis" I do not think it is insufficient manpower but insufficient brain power! What about the thousands of Thai army soldiers who are just hanging out at various army bases throughout Thailand who just seem to be bored to death? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcutman Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Did he not get the memo? He was put in charge of the unrest(terror) back in July. Early this week you were spouting off that there is no terror in Thailand. But now you are scared to travel, with heavy security, to this paradise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurboy Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Anyone want to place bets that Chalerm's hesitation is because he has evidence - confidential of course - that there is an assassination plot against him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t tell you why I was afraid,” he said Afraid, of course he's afraid.. just like his far away buddy was.. he's afraid there's a piece of lead out there with his name written on it. That's why Thaksin headed west & Chalerm has avoided going south, so far.. But with things looking out of control & not making good international PR Yingluk has pulled rank & told him to get his fat arse down there & do something more than making fancy speeches from behind a safe desk, unlike the teachers & students who have to face death from behind theirs !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetley Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If they are doing better than the previous Democrat-led government - why ask Democrats of advice? Because they have absolutely no idea how to handle the present chaotic situation down south let alone offer anyway of improving it. By superficially involving 'the other side' they can argue that abject failure is not their own fault as they were in fact working with the Dems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Can any of the Red apologists come on here and perhaps suggest a defence for this man who holds a position of deputy Prime Minister? He is afraid, yet he sends policemen there, soldiers there and makes Government workers stay down there on the posting from hell. What a great example of totally crass, inept leadership.He said if he knew the PM was going to ask him to do this he never would have taken the job, well lets hope the PM now sees he is totally unfit for the job. Perhaps everyone should send him white feathers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point where I quit reading the article and threw up. The man is obviously dumber than he thinks every one else is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
