National security bill to be enforced in August

BANGKOK, 12 May 2016 (NNT) - The National Security Council (NSC) has proposed a security bill to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA). If passed, the bill is expected to be enforced in August.

According to the Secretary-General of the NSC Gen Thaweeb Netniyom, the NLA is set to review the bill in June. The deliberation process will take approximately one month before the bill can be passed and become effective in August.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha had proposed to the NSC that a framework for the protection of national sovereignty be drafted for civilians, police and soldiers to follow in an emergency situation. This framework would also include protocols for Thailand's response to the international community.

National Bill - Boss Hog must be feeling insecure

An "Eenabling Bill", but without all the hassle of finding a simple minded fall guy to set fire to the nations parliament building?

Seeing how tons of people already have no idea following basic principles like a red light, good luck whenever that fantasy emergency actually happens. For all we can place bets, people wouldn't even notice or care....let alone know what constitutes an emergency to "normal" people.

And please someone actually translate that, eh, "handbook". I ought to get a laugh out of it:

1) don't panic

2) smile

3) be helpful

4) follow instructions

5) Good luck!

Wait...wasn't something else important happening in August...this bill seems like convenient timing...if only I could remember what is was...

This should be interesting. I am sure this new 'National Security bill' will have lots of vague statements in it, to allow for easy interpretation by those in power.

Ready for use in August... Hmmmm?

"This framework would also include protocols for Thailand's response to the international community."

I wonder what that might mean in real-life terms? Perhaps the boss is weary of taking serious kickings at the hands (or feet) of the international community, but hasn't yet understood that he's absolutely doing it to himself.

The actions seen over the past few months appear to have become increasingly extreme - a less generous person than I might infer a degree of desperation on behalf of the boss and/or his sponsors.

I did hear a while back that a small group of people have been quietly pulling strings from from afar to create the conditions leading for a civil war in LOS or declaration of LOS as a failed state. It isn't Thaksin - there really isn't a lot of difference between Thaksin and the boss in my view, so it definitely won''t include him.

It does seem that those machinations may be bearing fruit though. Of course it's probably only a conspiracy theory like building 7 or something. probably nothing in it at all.

It is odd though how the boss seems increasingly fractious about the stupid foreigners not understanding Thailand though. And the people (and the newspapers/TV news) in Thailand do appear to be becoming a bit bored of the boss and his coterie of hangers-on. Perhaps they're a bit smarter than he thinks...

Don't worry. It's not like there would be martial law or anything.

Does this also include the single gateway??

And beyond that does it encompass access to the info some were asked for regarding social media and email id's at immigration?

That was touted as also being in the name of National Security.
