PM Prayut orders National Security Council to step up intelligence operations

BANGKOK, 14 July 2015 (NNT) - The Prime Minister has ordered the National Security Council to step up its intelligence operations to fully cover all areas.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said that the National Security Council meeting on Monday focused on an intelligence strategy which must help support the country’s security and extend it to include all aspects of risk.

Gen Prayut stated that national security endeavors must be the main pillar in helping Thailand achieve stability, while he also told the meeting that focus must be placed on economic conditions in the border areas.

All in all, the PM said that he told the meeting that intelligence operations must continue to have close ties with Thailand’s strategies over the next two decades.

Meanwhile, the National Security Council Secretary-General Anusit Kunakorn said that the government has also instructed the NSC to prepare an administrative plan for border areas in order to prepare for the development of the special economic zones and to find solutions to any problems in those areas.

' Intelligence operations ' !

Isn't that an oxymoron ?

I think there is a typo in the first sentence of the OP which will confuse some readers.

Correction:

The Prime Minister has ordered the National Security Council to step up its intelligence.

Operations to fully cover all areas.

Buy some submarines. That should increase intelligence.

Still waiting on the evidence from the same Intelligence people who stated last week, a US Agency was behind the 14 students..

Could it come the ever popular, and convenient, security classification of a ' State Secret ' ?

I am looking forward for the evidence of the "brainwashing by aliens" of one of the students.

I'm looking forwards to them finding any intelligence in their countrymen

[slapout]

what they need is more snitches and increase reward funds for arrest, conviction, of those involved in theft/corruption and then RECOVERY of public funds for the past decade. Thailand could then handle the financial problems at home and half of the rest of the worlds problems.

I wouldn't exactly identify them as stupid, they can be quite crafty at leaching all the assets of a willing victim, discarding the wasted shell, then moving on to the next.

The best sign of intelligence this country could exhibit is to put a muzzle on that . . .

[MockingJay]

Intelligence operations... in Thailand?

' Intelligence operations ' !

As for Thailand, it certainly is!

[thesetat2013]

It gives such a good feeling to see all prior posters show much regard and think so highly of the nations intelligence. It brings tears to my eyes.

Ohhh! Wait! Those tears started when i read the headline

' Intelligence operations ' !

I only read this bit -

The Prime Minister has ordered the National Security Council to step up its intelligence

then stopped.

[smedly]

lets understand what is being said here as it would be of interest to everyone

Thailand is now open to Islamic terrorist activity throughout the whole country so be alert

The best way to increase the intelligence of the nation is to ban all calculators. How often do you see people adding 110 plus 30? Hello.

[HooHaa]

personally, i have always found that assuming the stupidity of any thai, especially one at the government level, is done at ones own peril.

but hey, what do i know?

i have also found this works for most other nationalities

An old joke about Oz was that if they export sheep from Oz the average IQ in Oz decreases. In this case for every greenshirt exported Thailands average IQ will increase. Waiting for the pain coming from the Aussies. lol

[Thai at Heart]

Cover all areas internally. Obviously.
