thesetat2013 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Quote "Every Thai must return to be the order-loving Thais, not the do-whatever-I-want Thais," Gen. Prayuth said, offering advice to anti- and pro-government protesters alike, "Today we have to be the Thais who have order, respect the laws, and sacrifice our personal interests for the sake of the national interests, to ensure that the Nation, the Religion, and the Monarchy will be safe". Was that address to the anti- government protesters that have caused so much damaged to Bangkok and Thailand a whole? Why did he not say that before, but only after all of these months of protests and killings. I, for one, hold you, Gen. Prayuth and the whole of the Armed Forces of Thailand responsible for your inaction in this matter, not to remove the protesters from all the Streets in Thailand (to protect the last election help on Feb 2nd) (which cost Thailand 3.2 Billion Baht or more) and get it back to what is used to be "The Land of Smiles" The Thai Armed Forces failed to deliver on their "Oath" to keep the Nation safe. Shame on you all, the so called "Thai Armed Forces" . Please give us back "The Land of Smiles" Quite a good twist you did on that quote. Are you a schoolteacher for kg? However no matter what twist you want for your fairytale happy ending this quote was not directed to the PDRC. It went to all thai people. And your comment about stopping the PDRC would have him in prison for violating the thai constitution allowing peaceful protests. As for the last comment about general prayuths duty and him not doing it i believe you are partially correct We will call it a half truth. Only because when the general learned of the UDD and PTP plans to seperate and recruit an army the general did not attack and arrest every participant.

rwdrwdrwd Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) The military have no right to meddle in politics. Who the hell does Prayuth think he is? By rights, this monster should be stripped of his rank for his continued threats to launch a coup. Sent from my IS11T using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app The Thai general pontificates about returning to order, obeying lawn but the when it comes to Yingluck he says it's a difficult question. The role of the military in thailand is to protect the Sovereignty of the nation, regardless of who is Prime Minister or what party they represent. The structure of the relationship between politicians and the military in Thailand is revealed by the way that politicians of all ranks 'ask' them - they do not have the ability to 'tell' them.

What do you expect them to do if this weekend ends up in pure carnage???? Sit back and watch so you can come on here and criticize them for allowing it to happen? Talk about naive. There is a difference between keeping groups of demonstrators from attacking each other, and overthrowing the government. If Prayuth had been only talking about doing the former, then way didn't he spell it out? The vague language that he is using strongly suggests that he is talking about a coup.

Sent from my IS11T using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app He has never threatened to coup, in fact he has said it would not be the answer! Though if the UDD and PDRC keep pushing he may very well have to, or would you prefer civil war? If he launches a coup then he will probably trigger civil war. What he should have done is deployed soldiers to protect the election from Suthep's thugs. Thailand would have avoided being in limbo like it is now, and the reds wouldn't believe that the army is pro-yellow, and would likely not be raising their own militias.

spacemand Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thailand is obviously not ready for a democracy as we know it in the West, maybe in 40-50 years. If we can not get it our way we try to shut down the country and cry like babies, is what both sides do. Maybe a coup is not the worst that could happen with the country run by the armed forces and police together. Probably would be the most peaceful time in Thailand for years.

Nothing to do with fearing the military and most definitely no fear of the police. Do your homework and check who really started the violence in 2006.

Then they would've tried to ram or sneak through the amnesty bill again, claiming it was the will of the people. Even though their minority mandate would have been lower than their last one. Not as easy as you thought - and handing the reins back to an administration that has been shown to act illegally, lie, cheat, and refuses to account for where the money as all gone or open the books, clearly isn't the answer.

Yunla Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 "Suppose you work in a company, and you decide to protest against the company owner," Gen. Prayuth asked the reporter instead He's trying to invoke the Japanese business teamwork mentality, where many employees are expected to engage in group-singing of the company anthem before work starts, to solidify teamwork spirit and unity. But Thailand is not Japan, and you can't import deep-rooted cultural behaviour patterns. I think the Chief is right, people do need to unify and work together for peace and prosperity. Our species is always at its best when it works together for the common good. But unity needs to start at the top, working people need to feel that they are part of a team which includes the bosses. This is impossible when the bosses are hiding from justice in the desert, or when they come across as being vastly more important than the other team members. Unity demands a leader with both feet planted firmly on ground-level, somebody who is more akin to his employees than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
