rooster59 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 PM accuses his opponents of attempting to sabotage the country BANGKOK: Without naming names, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha accused a group of people in attempting to destroy their motherland, reject Thai legal process and encouraging foreign organizations and governments to put pressure on Thailand. In his weekly nation-wide address, the prime minister urged the Thai public not to be misled by these elements whom he accused of trying every possible means to cover up their own wrongdoings.He brushed aside all the criticisms against the charter draft that it was crafted by the Constitution Drafting Committee led by Meechai Ruchupan with an intention to prolong the military junta’s stay in power.The prime minister maintained that the National Council for Peace and Order wanted to make sure that the next government would commit itself in performing what the people have wanted – that the next government is transparent, not corrupt and practice good governance.Defending the charter draft, he said he didn’t think the draft is much different from the previous charters except for one aspect – that is the draft attaches importance to prevention of corruption and preventing the domination of the Senate and the House by the same group of people.The prime minister went on saying that he has wanted the charter draft to pass the referendum.

Jessi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 "encouraging foreign organizations and governments to put pressure on Thailand." Foreign Governments & organizations can see through you like a pane of glass. That is why they seem to be interfering & putting pressure on your Government.

NongKhaiKid Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Why is he saying foreign governments etc are encouraged to put pressure on LoS ? The only time I really hear of foreign governments in relation to Thailand is when a Thai official is quoting all the wonderful things they're supposed to have said about the junta, the road map and so on.

leeneeds Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Asking for no corruption , transparency and good practice and good governance , is going to be so hard to stay the course, the P M knows this will not happen and is now on record as asking for the change, Unfortunately what the government needs is a detector at the entrance of parliament where the politicians have to gain entry every day and some sort of honesty screen , eye movement from a series of questions asked like (are you corrupt today?,) ( have you accepted any inducements?) and once a shift in (eye dilated ) is detected, they are put in a harness and put into a rubber catapult and fired out to sea, This also means the Y and T clan can not be hiding near by to shine a bright light into the eyes of the opposition, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I really hear of foreign governments in relation to Thailand is when a Thai official is quoting all the wonderful things they're supposed to have said about the junta, the road map and so on. I think he means things like people smuggling, slaves on fishing boats etc. He is upset foreign governments have spoken out against this practise. He seriously doesn't see a problem with it.

craigt3365 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The prime minister maintained that the National Council for Peace and Order wanted to make sure that the next government would commit itself in performing what the people have wanted – that the next government is transparent, not corrupt and practice good governance. Impossible to do without a reformed police and judiciary. Which the PM has decided is best left for the next government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just when you think it's impossible for the guy to dig himself deeper into the not-very-bright hole, he surprises you again. You are 100% right as far as most on TV and the lucky educated Thais capable of thinking issues like this through are concerned. Sadly, the majority of the PM's television audience probably believe this alarmist and xenophobic propaganda, and it would not surprise me if he is being fed some of these lines rather than speaking for himself.

MZurf Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 "...reject Thai legal process...." Remind me again who it was that overthrew an elected government in a military coup, tore up the constitution and granted himself an amnesty as well as godlike powers?

Baerboxer Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) come on Baerboxer tell us what a wonderful speech it was as djjamie seems to have gone quiet or are you the same person? Nope - your're wrong again. But as usual, that's not really surprising. We all know that any politician here would do absolutely anything, has many have proven, to get their greedy grimy hands on the trough. The one in power sees it as sabotage whereas the one trying to regain power sees it as clever tricks. Once the positions are reversed then so are the views. Do you remember various puppets in the last regime always claiming someone, some group, some NGO or some mysterious "third hand" was out to get them and sabotaging their good intentions? Your memory is somewhat selective so maybe not. You keep on believing in Shin fairy land if it makes you happy.
