PM chairs national innovation meeting

BANGKOK, 4 July 2016 (NNT) – The Prime Minister has called for ongoing projects to do with innovation to be expedited towards completion at a meeting on national innovation development.


Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha today chaired this year’s third National Innovation Development Commission meeting, which was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister ACM Prajin Junthong, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Somkid Jatusripitak and Minister of Industry Atchaka Sribunruang.

The premier took the opportunity of the meeting to call for all relevant agencies to step up work on ongoing projects to do with innovation, noting developments in rubber and blacklisted goods in particular. On the blacklisted items, the PM said all laws should be considered to remedy obstacles to development so that such products can be brought to market.

The government has made supporting innovation a key to its economic development plan, believing that innovations will help turn Thailand into a more digital society ready for modern advancements.

Here is an innovative idea. Resign and let someone with ability appoint themself PM.

GEEZ!! I and probably everyone else here saw the headline and thought the same BUT I would also add TAKE ALL THE OTHER MOB who tried to ruin this country for the last 7 years with you and LET some people try to do a job because even a Pattaya bar girl can say WELCOME when you and your mob cannot!

I have a few innovative ideas.

1. Hire some competent people, within your administration. Make sure their background, is related to the field of expertise they are directing, or participating in. Hiring a man who owns a chain of shoes stores, to run the transportation department is not going to save lives, nor lead to innovation. You want to be innovative? Get rid of nepotism, and install an administration founded upon the concept of a meritocracy. That would be a first for this nation. That is innovation.

2. Start arresting high level men and women who are involved in trafficking. Not low hanging fruit. Anyone can do that. That is akin to the B2 case on Dark Tao. No, actually accomplish something. That would be innovation.

3. Stop talking, and start acting. Jawboning does not convince anyone of anything. Action speaks far louder. That is something we have seen very little of, from you lately. Now, that would be an innovation for you.

4. Abolish some of the punitive duties in certain areas of the import sector. A good place to start would be with the wines. Instead of a duty of 350-450%, which has all but killed the wine industry here, lower the tariff to 100%. The amount of wine bought here would go up by 1000% overnight. This would effectively double, or triple the amount collected by the government, and would create a vibrant industry that would employ tens of thousands. And it would boost tourism. Nobody likes to visit a dinosaur nation, with antiquated, protectionist, nationalistic policies, and a complete lack of innovation. It would not only make alot of people happy (moving the country forward?) but, it would be an innovative way to stimulate the economy you have done such a great job of stifling.

5. Hire a really good foreigner as a P.R. person. You certainly need it. You have dug yourself quite an impressive hole, with your immature hyperbole, and nationalistic nonsense. Filter everything you say through this person of experience. Your approval throughout the world will go up dramatically. Never, ever talk spontaneously. If you did that, this would be really innovative.
