The survey is correct the schemes have been very creative. Especially some of the untruths and creative accounting The truth about these schemes will come in years to come when Thailand is still paying for them.

Why credit Yingluck with "creativity" for the rice-pledging scheme and the Bt300 minimum wage policy? If I remember right, those two at least were already touted during PTP's pre-election campaign. It's not like she's personally devised them either. And as per the first-car buyer scheme, I really don't know, although I doubt here as well that it was her personal idea. However, she IS quite creative in constantly coming up with new excuses why she cannot attend parliamentary sessions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is effectively what these creative schemes are. Actually what is surprising and good is that the percentages are not higher.

Popular Post TheGhostWithin Posted December 26, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2012 Most poles which feature Yingluck seem to have her coming outright between 49-53%, has anyone else noticed this? Perhaps there is no differentiation in the eyes of the public between "popularity", and the actual question being asked in each particular pole. I like Larb too, but I would not vote it the most healthy meal, the most popular meal, the most creative meal to cook, the most exciting meal, all at once. Something tells me some in the Thai public, either through being deceived or by pure lack of differentiation between what the question was and what larb is to them, might. Interesting to see Abhisit has a low rating, could this indicate his overall popularity has dropped in light of the recent murder accusations? If only he were more corrupt, because as we know corruption is good, clap clap. Curiously, why is a fugitive outlaw who is currently in exodus holding no title or position whatsoever in current Thai politics allowed to feature in this pole? I accuse the posting editor of attempting to promote the political status of a corrupt politician currently on the run. Is editorial activity this legal or does it demonstrate a lack of respect for the king by suggesting that one can continue to operate within the doors of politics after serious acts are committed and that his laws should not be upheld? I believe they should in every case, and the inception of this persons name into this pole is against the ideals of the law. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Globeman Posted December 26, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2012 She and her gang were certainly very creative when they created new theories about international trade with the ridiculous rice subsidy. Basically, their theory says that market forces don't apply because Thailand is special. As the number one rice exporter, they could increase the global price by 50% and no other countries would react to undercut them, like say, India, Burma and Vietnam. But whoops!! Turns out Thailand isn't so special after all. It is rather like the fight fantasy where the guy just stands there with his hands at his sides while you punch him in the face. It doesn't work that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DekDaeng Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I think the most creative bit should go to her for the murder charges against previous PM, ignoring the 2,000 to 3,000 pot'l similar cases that could be brought against another former PM.

The only problem for Thailand future is Abhisit, Suthep Democratic Party PAD and there's cronys . The only thing PT are developing is the scope for corruption, insider dealing and specific wealth creation for themselves and their cronies. Granted they are very creative in this field.
