It won't work. The PS degree is to get into corruption, not out of.

[NongKhaiKid]

I suppose all the students were in the uni through hard work and merit, no bought places or passes etc and now they're being told to be moral and help lead the nation.

Won't be hard to study great role models though as they're aren't many.

Tzzzzzzzzzz isn’t studying political science or social science in Thailand a bit like studying Christian theology in Saudi Arabia? And if not for the laughs, what is such a diploma or degree worth outside the Land Of Science? A diploma in “Coupology” would be much more credible.

I am sure he left out mentioning the scandal of the high-tech microphones and the expensive clocks in his lecture.

[ALLSEEINGEYE]

Perception is the key.

Good you got a degree in PS, now where will you get a job? With some political party? You might be better off getting a degree in basket weaving or bar tending, you then would be able to get work.

I am sure he left out mentioning the scandal of the high-tech microphones and the expensive clocks in his lecture.

And the park and statues....

[Orac]

Didn't a load of thrm get arrested at a train station recently for doing exactly what Panada is asking them to do now?

[tbthailand]

He bid them to be a part of the fight against corruption and recommended they find just individuals to serve as role models.

well, at least he gave them a real challenge.

[CantSpell]

Did he use one of the 100,000 THB microphone he bought last year for that conference?
