Pattaya Enhances Safety Measures with Realistic Fire Drill on School Buses

[Bluespunk]

the Reds would do whatever it takes to avoid there supporters to hear the truth, the government point of view.

Reds don't need reconciliation. they need people's hatred.

all red stations should be shut and there owners banned to take part in media business for life.

Thank goodness there are rational voices of reason like yours to put us all right, eh.

thank you. I knew that finally you will agree with me!

Yep.

That's exactly what I meant.

Thank you 3 times for saving us all from the evils of reds under the beds.

Or even on the airwaves.

The National Council for Peace and Order may also take the operators inside military camps to have their attitudes adjusted.

That'll do the trick...

Hey General, maybe these radio operators don't "feel the love"....

Stay tuned! Attitude adjustment phase two. Coming soon to a village near you.

by the way, German fascist's motto "Arbeit macht frei" (labor frees) was a bad translation of "through labor to release" which German officers red in Stalin's Gulag

I would say deprogram, takes far longer to brainwash. To brainwash you first have to deprogram (but that might be the ultimate goal).

But reds supporters should not complain too much as I never saw them make problems when they were in charge of the brainwashing.

- You mean, like airing long programs on all TV channels daily, weekly for over a year?

- I'm not a red supporter. I'm just truly amazed at the group of westerners from democratic countries being cheerleaders for the current administration.

Because before there was no democracy, so it does not matter much now. This is better as before. Not a perfect situation but anyone calling the previous government democratic is crazy.

Yes you are right the reds did the same as Prayut is doing now. Then there was no protest about it and now there is. That is hypocritical from the red supporters.

I would say both programs are crazy. But after all the damage that was done before by the red programs this MIGHT counter it a bit.

The previous government was democratically elected, based on generally fair elections, as confirmed by international observers. Was there vote buying? Sure, but if you think that the north and north-east would have voted differently just because some of them got paid then you don't understand the root causes of this conflict (I cannot elaborate due to the strict limitations in freedom of expression currently in force).

Suffice to say that Thaksin (purely for selfish reasons) awoke a sleeping giant (peasant population in the north and north east) and (forgive me for mixing metaphors) the genie cannot be put back into the bottle - no matter the amount of attitude adjustment.

Despite all my misgivings I had hopes that the current PM could do some good for the country, but my final hope died when he declared that he would not take on the job of reforming the police (probably one of the most pressing tasks LOS faces) and instead go after low hanging fruit like the state lottery.

Democracy is not only about voting.. its about transparency. Remember when the a civil servant came out with figures about losses of the rice scam and when the democrats showed rotting rice. Instead of debating the issue the civil servant was bullied and the democrats threatened with law suits. There was absolutely NO transparency and no accountability. Those are also pillars of democracy. So no I don't think the PTP was democratic. Just getting voted in (the guy with the funny mustache from Germany got voted in too) is not democracy.

You are right.. they should have reformed the police, there are many more things that need be done that I had hoped that would have been done. I can't say that Prayut is my favorite. just see him as less evil as the previous mob.

But he is doing far more against corruption as YL and that is an undisputed fact (giving amnesty to 26.000 corruption cases and trying to get her own government included in the amnesty was so bad that I haven't seen anything worse corruption wise)

But I agree that not enough is being done so much more can be done.

There you go. That's the attitude that will make this country move forward!!!

One side is bad and the other side is good - it's all black and white!

...........also, if you shut down the stations how can they relay the broadcast after the owners agree following 'attitude adjustment'?

We can't listen anyway in Pattaya. No radio stations for months. I yearn to hear the General (he lied!)

[sammygood]

they don't give me any happiness when they cut my favorite show on all channels for this bullcrap

[aussieinthailand]

"Reds don't need reconciliation. they need peoples hatred."

keep your moral relativism for yourself. "any conflict is a both side's fault" "world is not black and white" - we know this kind of ranting

in some situation one side is right and another is wrong. and only those indoctrinated by degrading left ideas would not admit this.

"wolfhound is right but man-eater is wrong"

"Reds don't need reconciliation, they need peoples hatred."

Keep your bigoted bias revelation to yourself... The owners of the radio stations (should) have the right to put out on air as they please be they red yellow or green.

"All red stations should be shut down and there {their} owners banned to take part in media business for life"

Think you need to get out a little more mate, like off ya bar stool for a start, and maybe get a few English lessons.

I know many kind considerate open minded free thinking "RED'S", probably just as many yellow supporters as well.

are you trying to use my grammar mistake (instead of real arguments) to discredit my point of view? do you really believe that you are right because you are a native English-speaker?

Anglo-Saxon superiority idea as it is...

radio-stations operate in Thailand and should obey Thai law.

Out of the five lines I wrote you come up seven words, to try to say I'm trying to discredit you point of view. (instead of real arguments). Have another read mate

"Anglo- Saxons come from Northern Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands and sailed too Britain, Of which I am neither, So I guess your Anglo-Saxon superiority shot at me is well off the mark my friend, also why do I have to be a native English speaker? Because of my handle? (aussieinthailand) I'll give a little much needed education my friend ,people have been coming and going too Australia for 40,000 years and none of them were native English speakers until just over 200 years ago!!! NEXT.

But I do think radio stations should obey the law, now is it legally required that all radio stations must provide this man with air time? if so cool.

Is it specifically stated in the criminal code? if not then what?

When I read the headline I thought that it was licenced(unlicenced) ham operators jamming radio/TV broadcasts...

But clearly this is a local radio stations broadcast licence/franchise issue, follow the T&C's or lose it.

But I agree that not enough is being done so much more can be done.

The previous administrations were rotten to the core, but the way to remove them was at the ballot box, not with tanks.

It's hard for me to believe the good intentions of the man in charge when one of his first acts is to warn journalists not to dig too deep into the wealth of him and his family.

Kind of hard to retain any credibility as a corruption figher after this.

[djjamie]

"250 radio stations in Nakhon Ratchasima and Buriram provinces failed to relay the broadcast signal of Prayut's weekly show"

​There is that unique form of democracy they are fighting breaking the law for.

This anti democratic action by the 7%'ers is a double positive in reality.

1. A compliment for Prayut as it shows the 7%'ers fear that what he says makes sense. They fear the people will actually listen to it and realise they have been duped.
2. The 7%'ers have reinforced exactly why reform is needed because the previous form of democracy was not in fact democracy.

In a democracy that reform is striving for this scenario will be a thing of the past. Thanks to the reds for reinforcing to the majority that Prayut is on the right track with a return to democracy. As the reds have shown though there is a long way to go.

The Red ethos..."We will break the law and be as anti democratic as we can to restore our version of democracy that allows us to be anti democratic with impunity"

"It's stated in the broadcasting license conditions that they (should) broadcast government announcements" I'm not sure if the word should is legally binding rather the word (required) would seem more likely if stating law, ie after a car accident you are required to stop and give assistance, Not you (should) give assistance. You are required to stop at a red traffic light, not you (should) stop at a red traffic light. but ok up to you.

A little more education for ya mate, MOST Australians, English American, ETC ETC ETC have had English lesson, It's part of the school curriculum just is math, geography, So now what?

Listen to the man lose your radio station.

It is of course feasible as to why his show has not been aired in those provinces being that they are RED controlled. The reds would not want their people to see any kind of progress or hope unless it was them offering it.

You mean in the same way as the Junta doesn't allow anyone to question them ? But they don't just not listen do they ,They put you in Military prison and threaten your relatives and accuse you of LM and freeze your bank accounts , like the cowardly bullying, Fascists they are

........................."The previous government was democratically elected, based on generally fair elections, as confirmed by international observers.".......................

.................."Was there vote buying? Sure"..................

Vote buying negates anything to do with the term "democratically elected".

And the fable about the international observers confirming the elections to be "generally" ??? fair is getting boring. Do you think their report would have read differently if they knew about all the cash that was exchanged for votes ?

What is the point of wasting time trying to reforming the RTP ? They would only revert to their old corrupt ways the minute the government turned their backs.

Mind you, if the government really wanted to win friends in the general populace, spending less money on the military and more on health, education and reforming the cops would go a long way.

There is a thing called the "ON/OFF" switch on a radio - or Television..............hey are not being forced to "Listen" the radio stations in that area are being required like all other radio stations to at least air the program. Hey - Its their country, they run it as they please, get over it.

Ha ha. Good for them trying to avoid the public brainwashing via airwaves.

Problem is they were brainwashing the reds long before Prayut ever came to be. So now that they have to air a show that will deprogram their minions they refuse.

I was wondering about that myself, how do they force people to listen to these broadcasts ? Or to watch the television shows ?

Most Thai people have probably never bothered to listen to it or watch it.

Although the polls probably say they are the highest rating tv and radio shows.

Be realistic.

If I had a transmitter and deliberately jammed the British Prime Minister's speech to Parliament, I would face prosecution for interfering with that broadcast.

Same in Thailand, or any country in The Eurozone.

Interfering with a legitimate radio or television broadcast is an illegal act.

They aren't jamming just not relaying it. Massive difference and perfect example of cheerleader clutching at straws to justify junta's actions.

By the way my local English language radio station doesn't relay his rants either, because it was taken off air at the start of the coup. Presumably for relaying the BBC world service. Who knows.
