Popular Post PatOngo Posted May 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2014 PM Yingluck: Thai workers are valuable citizens BANGKOK: -- Up to 93.7 per cent of Thai labourers have admitted that they are heavily in debt, amid signs of rising unemployment if the country's political stand-off prolonged into the second half of the year, according to the survey by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC). Seems to be a bit of irony here.............or does she mean they are valuable to her because their vote can be bought very cheaply. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post siampolee Posted May 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) So true a comment. Such a pity that the Shinwatra clan can't seem to or won't acknowledge the fact that their rampant corruption is having a detrimental effect upon the Thai work force. It's tough at the top, however its darn site tougher at the bottom here in Thailand because all the Thai workforce and the greater majority of the population in general have to support and fund the financial habits of the Shinwatra clan the P.T.P. and their Red Shirt cronies.

Costas2008 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) "Thai Premier posted a message on her Facebook page, saying workers are the driving force of Thailand that stabilizes the economy." I wonder, how many workers are on Facebook and ever read her comments. But I have to congratulate her, she invented a new trend...........govern by Facebook.

bigbamboo Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Thailand's former 'CEO' certainly regarded the Thai workers as an important resource. I bet he wishes they still worked for him. In fact this truly patronising statement has his signature all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brevity Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Considering that all the construction labour in Thailand is usually done by exploited and desperate people from Burma, Cambo, etc., this seems a bit funny. Perhaps having a special holiday in Thailand to honour its neighbours and recognize that the country was actually built by bargain-priced foreign labour from them would be more appropriate. Besides, most reasonably educated 10-year-old children understand that a country without a workforce is an impossible situation. Assembling a live prop for her facebook broadcast to say such patronizing crap is so typical of Ms. Shinawatra. This is just another of the standard shallow a**-kissing statements that this women specializes in. Then again, maybe she's referring to the fact the so few Thais who have jobs actually work at their jobs, that she's thanking the few that do. (Joking, of course, but can't help think that way sometimes when I'm in some of the stores where a dozen staff are in eyesight but all of them inert.)
