[LipeLarry]

Veritable paupers when compared to the last Cabinet.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) today revealed the assets of 13 former ministers of the Yingluck cabinet showing Mr Pongthep Thepkanchana is the richest with over three billion baht.

Could be got by receiving 100,000 for every prediction made or Amazing announcements or new slogan or tell us how many arrivals there are without visa runs---cross border shopping--migrant workers--transits--work entries-- TAT are but only a fraction of agencies that need probing.

[SiggiCM]

how the peoplem can have such millions of baht, even millions of euros, you will never find in germany any minister who has 4 or more million euros in assets, nobody cares where the money comes from

[visionchaser45]

Well, at least the honest ones aren't shy.

[noitom]

Staggering amounts for Thai public officials. How did they accumulate these large sums of money while in public service.

[Strangebrew]

Same in the States go into public office with a suit and 10,000 USD 2 years later Multi millionaires Money must have rabbit genes or something.

Every single one of these coup appointed toads is worth millions and millions of baht.

Hardly a representative cross section of society the General has called upon to unite the nation.

A bunch of unelectable elites wanting their snout back in the trough Thaksin so rudely took away from them.

Next election is going to be a landslide against these selfish and greedy plutocrats.

Staggering amounts for Thai public officials. How did they accumulate these large sums of money while in public service.

For the most part, these are Good People who've accumulated their wealth either as a result of birth, or connections, or both.

In the case of...

Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul and her husband have assets totaling about Bt317.67 million, it said.

She was CEO of Toshiba Thailand (which was founded by her mother), while her husband is a Maj Gen in the Royal Thai Police.

Good People do not have to dirty themselves by accumulating wealth by potentially questionable means in the employ of the government, they do it the old-fashioned way.

[Musot]

Every single one of these coup appointed toads is worth millions and millions of baht.

So then, an improvement over the slimy snakes in the Thaksin appointed, Yingluck cabinet worth Billions of baht.

[Krataiboy]

Heartening to know that so many members of the new administration are ordinary, everyday folk able to identify with, and further the aspirations of, the masses.
