PM urges all sectors to work towards unity

BANGKOK, 4 July 2015 (NNT) – Prime Minister Prayut Cha-o-cha has called on the public to patiently await social reconciliation, while urging related sectors to work hard towards unity.

During the government TV talk program, PM Prayut affirmed that the government was trying its best to solve political and social conflicts but explained that these problems were difficult to resolve within a short time, as they stemmed from many complicated factors. PM Prayut stressed it was vital for all sectors to combine their efforts to create sustainable peace in society.

General Prayut commented that sectors in charge of defense, the peace-making and democratic processes, constitution and laws need to streamline their tasks to reduce complication in administration. Gen Prayut disclosed that the National Legislative Assembly was studying over 300 laws aimed at ensuring peace, while calling on teen students not to be swayed by misleading information.

To give all sides a fair hearing, the premier said the government had launched a new TV program inviting academics, politicians, former-ministers and law-makers to discuss different topics regarding the government’s performance. The program debuted on July 1.

Mr PM you need to start first and show an example. Not locking kids up in jail because they disagree with you.

[heybruce]

Apparently working towards unity means "shut-up and do as you're told".

"To give all sides a fair hearing, the premier said the government had launched a new TV program inviting academics, politicians, former-ministers and law-makers to discuss different topics regarding the government’s performance. The program debuted on July 1."

Did anyone see it? I assume it's a comedy.

[Thai at Heart]

Unity of what? All behind him?

[oneday]

Stop arresting innocent students and start making good on your promise of reconciliation.

The fate of this country is in your hands, not the people who you aren't listening to.

I heard the new TV program will be like hard-talk or questiontime except only yes men and junta cheerleaders will be invited and if somebody asks the wrong question or states an incorrect opinion they get a free stay at a reeducation centre....

ps; I can think of a few on here who should apply for a seat, they will be among like minded individuals and can discuss how best to control the great unwashed they may even get to see their junta heroes and the good general in person!!

I haven't seen in over a year a single bit of them attempting any kind of social reconciliation.

I haven't seen in over a year a single bit of them attempting any kind of social reconciliation.

More people are reconciled to the fact they could well end up in prison for not toeing the line. Any good to you?

Recent events with the Wit in Japan made me realize something. This incident united the whole of TVF, something unheard of in this age of such diverse opinions, both genuine and from under the bridge. All it took was the application of justice to an untouchable, the pity is that it took another country to deliver us the unity.

[MockingJay]

What I love so much about our great leader is his sensitiveness, his eloquent ways to articulate himself and his ever so smooth and gentle ways to convince people...

[joebrown]

Reconciliation? Why doesn't the PM try reconciling buying costly unnecessary submarines with trying to solve the continual flood/drought cycle which regularly devastate peoples lives and incomes?

Sorry, he probably has, and we can all guess which has higher priority.....letting the 'boys' play with new toys in their waters.

[wabothai]

All sectors urge YOU mister! not the other way around.

Stop arresting and jailing youth for their alledged inobediance and stop the nonsense about buying submarines.

How about some reconciliation.

[chainarong]

Have the red and yellow shirts disappeared , until these outfits are all lovey dovey with each other Thailand is still in the same position as before the coup , split down the middle.

[soalbundy]

I'll drink to that, who's buying ?

[jerojero]

Show unity, or get locked up like those students. Can we really expect different from military ruler where following orders is the norm.

PM urges all sectors to work towards unity

In a "ME, ME, ME Society"? ... I don't think so General.

[englishoak]

Is he bleating and pleading again ?

Wants to start leading by example the whining hypocrite.

[Srikcir]

"need to streamline their tasks to reduce complication in administration."

There is nothing more streamlined than a government ruled by one unelected general who controls the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government whilst issuing his own custom constitution and laws.

I believe Prayut is using the Kim II Sung's model for national unity.

Kim Sung regarded "believing in the people as in heaven" as his motto, was always with the people, devoted his whole life to them, took care of and guided them with a noble politics of benevolence, and turned the whole society into one big and united family. (ref. 1972 Constitution Preamble of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea)

... all sectors to work towards unity
Good idea.
How, can foreigners help?

- Many foreigners are married to Thai families.

- Many foreigners living here permanently.
- Many foreigners visit Thailand.

Is that also a sector?
