Participants at the session included Transport Deputy Minister/NESDB Secretary-General Arkhom Termpittayapaisith, Mahidol University Council chairman Dr Vicharn Panich, Bangkok Bank executive chairman Kosit Panpiemras, and Suphachai Chearavanont, president and CEO of True Corp Plc.

Mr Arkhom told those attending the session that Thailand is going to see several sharp changes in future including becoming an aged society, while residents of big cities imitate Western lifestyles, technology and an environment becoming deteriorated.

Asia is important to the global economy, he said, affecting Thais and Thai society. Because of these factors, it is essential for Thailand to develop its population in order to develop the country, solve social divisiveness and achieve sustainable development.

The NESDB, he said wants to propose achieving human development leading to creating secure lives, family happiness and the economy, said Mr Arkhom.

The agency is also proposing human development measures before production begins and future service as well as improving the urban environment aimed at raising the quality of life, he added. (MCOT online news)

....and after a nice lunch they went home ....until next year.

Why not just induct the whole population into the military. That cuts out the middleman in governance, provides clear career paths with universal military training, ethical training through the military Code of Conduct, without civilians there is no corruption, and freedom of speech made simple - "Permission to speak, sir." "No."

I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, or open another bottle and pretend I didn't read that.

People in big cities " imitate Western lifestyles "

Very plain to see the " Imitation " every day

Now that sounds promising !!

Developing people? First thing needed is a big stick. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Clean up your education system of muck and dirt ?

Developing 'certain' people is normality here. As for the rest of the Jungle Bunnies; get back to your Paddy's boys and back to your Market Stalls girls.

Developing people? Seriously?

Perhaps they should leave that to Nature and evolution. They have more experience.

Another think tank whose thinking has obviously tanked.
