NRSA unveils website to offer updates on national reform

BANGKOK, 1 June 2016 (NNT) - The National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) has unveiled a website to help keep the public informed on the national reform process.

NRSA’s First Vice President Alongkorn Ponlaboot was joined by Chairperson of the “Voice of the National Reform” Project Tuenjai Sinthuvnik during a press conference to introduce the website www.reformvoice.com, to serve as another channel for communicating the progress of the NRSA’s work.

The website was upgraded and overhauled to be more modern and international, with content offered in both Thai and English languages.

It is hoped that the new design will enable both Thais and foreigners to more closely follow developments in the country, as well as learn more about the national reform process.

Tuenjai said the updated website will be an important means through which to provide news and information to the public in a timely and accurate manner.

She added that information available on the website will include “Picture of the Day”, news on the NRSA, in-depth reports, daily updates and messages to the NRSA.

Barely functional website. Links on the top banner all open the home page. News article pages simply regurgitate the headline on the home page.

Stupid me for expecting more.

"...in a timely and accurate manner".

Two years after the junta took control (with their "roadmap for reform"), we still seem to be on a road to nowhere!

That music needs to go...............

I can imagine how it would be in an imaginary world in which people would tell the truth: "we have not done this", "we have not done that", "in fact we have no idea on how to do it", etc.....

"The website was upgraded and overhauled to be more modern and international, with content offered in both Thai and English languages"

That is a good start, is step 2 trying to actually accomplish something so they can start adding content to the site?

"the government and the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) need more synergy as a new website was launched to promote reforms"...."You have to understand that people are criticising us, saying that nothing tangible has been done in relation to reform," Prayut said to the NRSA committee.

Yes, please do understand Mr. Prayut.

With what, eleven sub-sommittees, 200 members (with a staff of at least five family members each) - all on hefty salaries with expenses and travel goodies, and their 1-1-18 and 6-4-6-4 timetables, this "assembly" looks more and more like a trough.

Could you imagine the whistle-blower/clapper uproar if the "other side" tried such a thing?
