Commerce Ministry Looking For New Markets For Thai Rice In Govt's Stock

[Thaiwine]

I don't think TS failed when he introduced the government rice buying scheme, it seems to me the object was to buy the hearts of the masses which seems to have worked,

It was a master stroke he used government money to buy his followers.

now they have a huge army of supporters who happily call themselves red shirts.

The problem for the government now is they dare not stop the subsidy as if they do they will lose their base of support.
