Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, centre, greets participants yesterday during the opening ceremony of the ACD Connect Business Forum 2016, a parallel meeting for the Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) summit held today. 

 

BANGKOK: -- PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha was joined by other speakers.

 

They called for the public and private sector to tighten their partnerships and draw people to their plans and the execution of the plans.

Prayut said that while the ACD leveraged its "diverse strengths", nobody should be "left behind" - whether they are a member country, citizens, or small enterprises.

He said: "Both the private and public sectors must be aware of the people, since people are also their consumers - how lower-income earners can take part in the products that you have created; how they can afford to use the high-speed trains."

Creatively diverse inclusivity you say?  Looking for a UN retirement package methinks. Secretary General Prayut,  why not.

Playing at being adults again, are ya?

You've got all this nice stuff that was handed to you, and you still haven't a clue what to do with it, have you?

 

 

Look, you're simply going to have to learn how to play nicely with the other children.

That means using a pencil first, so you can use an eraser if you need to, you'll have plenty of time to use a real pen later.

because he didn't use a pencil.

I hope the inclusiveness he is talking about includes the expats living in Thailand.

The PM's 20 year strategy needs to lift it's game otherwise Thailand will be well and truly left behind. Many of his Asian counterparts in attendance at this forum have economies that are going gangbusters. Thailand is not one of them. 

Still waiting to see an honest example of the PM's so called development of science and technology and innovation. Plenty of dishonest examples going around but none that would fall into the category of "honest" and of benefit to the economy.

So, this idiot asks the ACD, "...how can lower-income earners...afford to use the high-speed trains...” ???

 

He should put that question to his mirror !!!

Thailand's 1% of 1% will get all the goodies as per usual.  Everyone else in Thailand WILL get left behind, unless they spend time leveraging the strengths of their neighbors.   If you play by Thai rules even as a Thai, you will lose.

Excluding the Thai military that is exclusive of the public and private sectors.

[dbrenn]

"Inclusive" in Prayuth's world means including only him, his family, his mates and his supporters. Since this oaf grabbed power, public spending in the provinces had reduced to just 17%, the remaining 83% is spent in Bangkok.

 

What a hypocrite this man is.

Good point except that the private sector dislike political uncertainty which you and your kind have created. Talk to any private investors and they will say the same thing about Thailand, a country full of potential but empty of political stability with its repetitive coups. 

[Retiredandhappyhere]

The P.M. would not be talking about "no country being left behind" if Thailand was in the lead!  As it is, I suppose he can live in hope that the others will pull him up.
