PM's patting of a reporter just a friendly gesture, junta clarifies

[chotthee]

Seems an innocent and friendly gesture to me. The reporter whose head Gen Prayuth touched has had no word of complaint to my knowledge and this is surely the yardstick by which the gesture should be measured. I.e. if no offense taken no offense committed.

l certainly believe no offense was intended. The anti NCPO are out in force over this incident which to me shows an attention to trivia in the absence of matters of substance on which to hang their hats. General Prayuth still seems the best chance Thailand has had to a proper democracy. Lets hope the new charter is quickly and properly written and the path to democracy hastened.

Fully agree.

It is harmless.

It is fund.

It is return happiness to the poor reporter.

[Fat Haggis]

Who said the reporter was unhappy in the first place to Return happiness to him ?

You post some bizzare comments !!

Would now be nice to see some show the PM some "affection."

if he complained then it would be off to the attitude adjustment factory. People know complaints and opinions are not acceptable under dear leaders rule.
