PM Office says Thailand is more stable after NCPO rule

BANGKOK, 16 October 2015 (NNT) - The Office of the Prime Minister claimed that national stability has improved following the administration of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).

Spokesperson to the Prime Minister’s Office Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd said that after the NCPO successfully resolved the country’s political crisis, the ruling government carried out several policies to resolve the country’s endemic problems and ensure stability and prosperity in the future.

Maj Gen Sansern pointed out that the country’s politics and economy have stabilized, boosting investor confidence. He added that foreign countries have also been cooperating with the Thai government.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha urged all parties to cooperate in fostering an environment of stability, in order to achieve national reform. Gen Prayut also called on all sides to create awareness regarding Thailand’s economic restructuring and its efforts to resolve entrenched issues related to corruption, as well as its fisheries and civil aviation industries.

The Prime Minister emphasized that all Thais have a stake in the country’s future and the country’s problems can only be solved with cooperation from all sides. However, the reforms can only proceed according to current laws.

Hilarious.

Tooting one's horn again. Seem they have to remind themselves every so often of how good things are.

North Korea is pretty stable also.

He also noted it was less democratic and that the quality of soap opera had diminished......

I think he means there have been very few earthquakes or tremors due to the threat of amplitude adjustment.

Yes indeed.

Tooting one's horn again. Seem they have to remind themselves every so often of how good things are.

Well better than the shooting on the street and incompetent Yingluck in power.

But after this time there should be much more:

The legal system complete refurbished

The police force a hub of honesty

Corruption level below Switzerland

etc etc

Stable alone is very weak....

"The Office of the Prime Minister claimed that national stability has improved ..."

Yep, just like a pressure cooker with the lid tightly closed.

"Spokesperson to the Prime Minister’s Office Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd said that after the NCPO successfully resolved the country’s political crisis...."

I.E, instigating a coup, tearing up the constitution and granting themselves an amnesty.

"...the ruling government carried out several policies to resolve the country’s endemic problems and ensure stability and prosperity in the future."

Such as?

"Maj Gen Sansern pointed out that the country’s politics and economy have stabilized, boosting investor confidence."

Really? In what alternate reality has this occurred?

"He added that foreign countries have also been cooperating with the Thai government."

Yes, I seem to recall North Korea and the Central African Republic being very enamored with the junta.

"The Prime Minister emphasized that all Thais have a stake in the country’s future and the country’s problems can only be solved with cooperation from all sides."

How about seeking the people's cooperation through elections??

"However, the reforms can only proceed according to current laws."

In other words; shut up and do as you're told.

I buy this as much as the polls indicating that 93% of thais are happy with with everything the current government is doing.

I agree, BKK is much safer now since the coup.

You're funnier than the NNT.

In case you didn't know, transparency, a genuinely free press and rule of law (not rule by decree) are necessary to eliminate corruption. This government doesn't like transparency--it generates questions about unusual wealth. It doesn't like a free press--it asks difficult questions. And it loves Article 44 rule by decree.

"the NCPO successfully resolved the country’s political crisis..."

Yeah, an aricle 44-ship is a great solution to the crisis of democracy and elections.

"...the ruling government carried out several policies to resolve the country’s endemic problems and ensure stability and prosperity in the future."

Always in the future, never today.

"Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha urged all parties to cooperate in fostering an environment of stability, in order to achieve national reform."

If you could tell people what those reforms are it would be much easier to cooperate.

I agree, BKK is much safer now since the coup.

Been through two coups. Never remember Bangkok as anything but safe. Sadly, you and the old spinsters running Thailand believe in peace at any price. It works for the inbred elites.

When you put an egg in a vice grip and tighten it. it is stable but broken.

Thailand is more stable after the coup and worse off economically. Thanks but no thanks.

Then you should drive around more i guess.

Reforms can only proceed under current law? That's funny consider he follows no laws. This government is destroying the economy, which in turn will harvest more unrest.

Have you already forgotten the 20 people that were blown apart in Bangkok because of a move that was made by the current administration.

Hilarious.

The Choirmaster singing from his own hymn book.

"after the NCPO successfully resolved the country’s political crisis" - resolved? doubt it

My hemorrhoids are stable, but I am sure the TAT can credit the junta for that one, too!

Maybe the polls were getting unreliable. Pure propaganda is timely, low cost, and flexible.

The shooting on the street. You mean when the military killed ninety-odd people? Incompetent Yingluck was voted in by the people of Thailand, they obviously didn't think her all that incompetent. Now, if you want to talk about incompetence look no further than your beloved heroes.

"the NCPO successfully resolved the country’s political crisis," really. REALLY? I must have taken a nap afternoon that happened. Rather than pressure cooker earlier poster referred to, I had mental image of a toilet, after deposit is made. Putting the lid down doesn't resolve the basic issue. Needs a good flush.

yes I agree we should all pull together and get this country back on course is it possible to get this country back on course the answer is a decidedly emphatic NO

Hilarious.

It'll take the equivalent of a nuclear bomb explosion to get ride of the corruption here.

The military DID NOT shoot 90+ people. This is a lie of astounding proportions.

When a gun is pointed in my face, I behave also.

ensure stability and prosperity in the future? By my reckoning, they've achieved the exact opposite. The damage this junta has caused is far worse than anything the previous elected government did.
