webfact Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 PM’s Office executives urged to work with transparency BANGKOK, 7 October 2016 (NNT) – Executives of the Prime Minister’s Office have been urged to work with transparency and in accordance with regulations while adopting the Sufficiency Economy philosophy. PM’s Office Minister M.L. Panadda Diskul on Thursday chaired a meeting with executives and senior officers under his supervision, during which he delivered his policies and discussed all major plans for the fiscal year 2017. M.L. Panadda told participants that all agencies should be performing their duties in accordance with approved steps and plans, to ensure the entire process is under control and not too time-consuming while being transparent and open to inspection. He stated that officers should also embrace and apply the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy to their jobs. In addition, the Minister has suggested all offices tasked to serve the public, promptly make the people understand how the government is committed to working for them. M.L. Panadda went on to say that the Government Public Relations Department is planning to help solve the problems of the public more effectively in 2017 in order to help strengthen the country and proceed in line with the government’s Thailand 4.0 Policy. -- nnt 2016-10-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 What's the point of transparency when you can't punish the transgressors. Nice sound bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 More useless Bullshit that nobody except himself wants to hear. ''Sufficiency Economy'' to most Civil Servants means they take or spend what is sufficient for their personal needs; and that includes 21 million Baht trips to Hawaii complete with large entourage of slaves and family hangers on !

Dexlowe Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't think the headline quite reflects what he really said. It was not so much a directive as a warning not to let things slide. -- any further, that is - And as for this .... 1 hour ago, webfact said: ... the Government Public Relations Department is planning to help solve the problems of the public more effectively in 2017 Is the PRD going to replace the NCPO next year? Bit of an odd thing to say about an agency whose sole job is spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, he is urging executives to work with transparency, not ministers who—as the overfed defence minister is currently demonstrating—can continue to rort, lie and obfuscate to their black hearts' content.

Surely ministers don't lie and obfuscate do they or is it just we the great unwashed don't have their intelligence so we simply just can't understand ?

Jimbo2014 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've said it before. These guys are the king's of stand up.

mtls2005 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Not certain but believe this is the office which released the details of the Hawaii trip, originally. Maybe someone was being a bit too "Sufficient"? Perhaps this is a message to all the staff to be a bit more careful going forward? Just do your job sufficiently, and keep everything "transparent". Or maybe he is calling out some of the bigger wigs? After all he is a Mom Luang. I think 'transparent' has a different meaning in Thailand? Like if the reds do it, they should go to jail. If the good people do it, well it's their birth-right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starky Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Funny thing about transparency you can't "work" at it. Something is transparent or it is not. Junta doublespeak at its best obsfucate, deflect, delay, proclaim, threaten long enough and transparency becomes redundant as evrything just disappears.

Squeegee Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Use of 'transparency' is just a cover to press the thumb down on "all offices tasked to serve the public" - the serving of which is to "promptly make the people understand how the government is committed to working for them." Think of transparency like the nice shirt you wear for a thumb-screw party.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering Yes, and it's quite common to read that senior officers in the BIB urge their men to do their job. It's a supposed disciplined organisation yet ordering things to be done seems to be a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
