Exactly. She could have repackaged generic brand condoms into single packs and sold them for 20 baht each, or 5 for 90 baht with free short time hotel room thrown in.

dominique355 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I once walked on a beach full with starfish. A small boy was going from one starfish to the next throwing them back into the ocean. I asked him, why he was doing this; there are so many starfish, impossible to save them all and the few he rescues make no difference.He looked at me and slowly walked to the next starfish throwing him into the water. Then he said: Well, that sure made a difference to this one.Same with the rice farmers. Every little helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 "stage" the rice sale is a good use for this publicity stunt. She probably should set up a charitable foundation to do this for her. It would have been nice if she had used her personal assets to help the farmers when she was PM, rather than having it assessed as a budget outlay without parliamentary approval.

As an ex-military leader he does not understand the words "love in" or "flower power" He should maybe go watch a copy of "Woodstock" to get the true flavor.

lostinisaan Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) BANGKOK: -- Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra will stage another round of short time dates at the Imperial World Samrong shopping mall on Friday in her effort to help farmers who are suffering from sharp price drop. Thumbs of for such great help. Edited November 11, 2016 by lostinisaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I see the shin kickers are out in force. Cut the girl some slack. She's got the knack. And the people love her. As gestures go it may be on the small scale but at least she's doing something concrete, putting some baht in a farmers pocket. More power to her.

She's being manipulated by her brother and his well-orchestrated PR wonks, and she's happy to go along with it because she knows no different. She hasn't got any "knack" at all, other than to look good and smile for the cameras. She has no history of having any connection to the poor and disadvantaged before being dragged into the political arena, and she most certainly has no history of social, political, economic or international policy engagement. Sorry, but she's not doing anything concrete to help farmers - she's simply reacting to a policy of the government, jumping on the bandwagon. As soon as the wonks decide she's milked this little publicity stunt for as much as they can get out of it, she will be put back into her cage until the next appropriate moment. Wait and see.

mike324 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 If yingluck does this daily 1 month straight, I'll give her credit. But its just stunt to boost her image and get more support for her rice scheme case. If Prayuth did this for even a day, people will be calling him out on it as a publicly stunt. So why the double standards in the judgement of politicians? Both are total failures and has done nothing to help these farmers in the long term. Quite frankly, CP Thailands largest conglomerate should be called out on not helping the farmers. The owner once said it himself when campaigning for Thaksin during the election that if Thailand can't sell its rice, he would personally buy it all. After Thaksins failed Rice Scheme, he stayed pretty silent. But back to YS, if she is really sincere at helping, why not buy milling machines and donate it to the local district offices. Farmers can get their rice process for free and sell it on their own on the market. That would be a better gesture, than act all celebrity.

I agree the shinawatra has continue their PR stunt. For those that want some proof head to http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx under search field select "client name", criteria enter "shinawatra". Thaksin has continue to hire lobby firms for his own family's interest and to influence how they are being viewed around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
