Robot Presents 'Surprise' Birthday Cake To Yingluck


Image: KHAOSOD English

BANGKOK: -- PM Yingluck Shinawatra was treated to birthday cake 3 days ahead of her upcoming birthday anniversary, with some assistance from a robot.

As she toured science projects held at the Government House today, Ms. Yingluck encountered a 50 pound birthday cake topped by jelly that resembled a red crab - a reference to her nickname (Puu Daeng or Red Crab).

A robotic arm, an innovation by Reed Tradex Company that was being displayed alongside other science projects, was waiting for Ms. Yingluck next to the cake.

It proceeded to demonstrate its ability by cutting the cake for the Prime Minister, while someone brought out a violin and played ′Happy Birthday′ for Ms. Yingluck, who would turn 46 this 21 June.

That robot would probably do a better job of being PM as well. A rice cake would have been more appropriate as well

[borisloosebrain]

Will she uphold family tradition and keep the biggest slice for herself lol

[Nowhereman60]

She still look good for 46.

From a robot to a puppet!!

BTW. On social networking pages, she is known as Kwai Daeng.

What ever happened to her husband,i never see him are they now divorced?

I like the tabletPC, almost as if the robot is holding it (see OP picture). Mind you the tabletPC seems a bit larger than the 7" version from the 'one child, one tablet' project.

[rkidlad]

Oh, the irony!

So you like Thaksin in a dress?

I think our Kwai's would not be too happy being compared to her

[mrtoad]

He's probably buried under a rice mountain.

Probably kept at home for having difficulty to keep a straight face when his wife makes some official remarks

[ratcatcher]

And as for the rice farmers, gentlemen.

[joeaverage]

looks like it was reassembled once it crossed the border

[GrantSmith]

Oh, the irony!

Let them eat cake

[waza]

Nice picture of the robot cutting the cake, but what's that metal thing next to it? and what's with that frightening smile?

[DocN]

who cares?

[Thai at Heart]

Robot turns to yingluck and says:

"How are you doing"

Yingluck shocked says

"Mai kao jai".

It would have been nice if they could have connected the robot up to a pitching machine.

Time to put your glasses back on methinks !

[PoodMaiDai]

Robots in Thailand. Mind blown. Perhaps in my lifetime they will get the internet working at a useable speed.

[bigbamboo]

Now if Thaksin had suddenly jumped out of the cake that WOULD have been something!
