BANGKOK: -- JUNTA-INSTALLED Bangkok Governor Pol General Aswin Kwanmuang has promised to immediately deliver solutions to the capital’s problems as he is not sure how long he will be in office.

 

“My mindset is to deliver now,” Aswin said at a press conference on the new city administration’s policies yesterday. 

 

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, in his capacity as head of the National Council for Peace and Order, exercised his power under Article 44 of the interim constitution to remove MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra as Bangkok governor in mid-October and replace him with Aswin. 

 

“I’ve come to power through a special process and will use that special process to solve Bangkok’s problems and make improvements,” Aswin said.

One of my best ever managers told me that performance targets should be both realistic and achievable if they were to be meaningful to both myself and him.

If this guy thinks he can deliver immediate solutions he's either super human or ill prepared for the tasks in hand. I know which one I'd pick.

I think he meant, scam as much as possible, before he is caught.

And after this is achieved, he will re invent the wheel.

In alphabetical order, or that of priority, I wonder? Either way, I doubt he has enough years in him, never mind in office.

The only time 'fast' and 'work' come together here is when their hands are in the till !

blah blah blah, quick fix? long-term, complex problems require carefully considered, properly resourced solutions over a reasonable time frame with the general public on your side. Don't see much of that here.

Oh my goodness.

Military coup leader Prayut removed the elected governor and appointed Aswin by invoking Article 44.

Somehow, "special" seems an understatement.

quite clearly the Bt5000 fine is not stopping them scooter/mopeds riding on the footpath....fail number 1

That can be fixed in one week, give the police 2500 of the fine and it will be solved. Do the same for driving against traffic and another issue solved. Then parking on the road, one bullet in a tire and they won't do it again.
