webfact Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yingluck urges Thais to give rices as new year gifts BANGKOK: -- Former prime minister Ms Yingluck Shinawatra today urged Thai people to give rices as new year gifts. Posting on her Facebook page today, Ms Yingluck said in addition to assisting farmers by buying their rices and eating more rices, another way is to make rice as new year gifts in giving happiness to each other on New Year. Hence, she said this year’s new year gifts couldn’t be anything but rice bought directly from farmers.

From Prime Minister to Facebook rice flogger. Oh how the mighty fall. Hope she is very uncomfortable & unhappy in her new role of nothingness.

Ricardo Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 How many millions-of-tons of her 'mature' rice-mountain yet-to-be-sold ? I wish the current government would remind us, from time to time, more transparancy required ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Mega Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) if someone ever gave me rice as a gift I'd slap them, wouldn't mind snacking on yingluck's rice paddy though. Edited December 19, 2016 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 If I were her, the mere word Rice would be enough to give me the willies giving the fact that all her troubles are associated with the rice scheme.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Please help Yinluck sell the still stockpiled mountains of rice from her failed rice price program. If these mountains of rice can all get sold then maybe the govt will stop trying to cease billions of baht of her personal assets. Help bring Yinluck a Happy New Year.

lostinisaan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) If anybody wants to buy some cheap rice, the fresh harvest of mom and dad in law just came in. Please page me how many kg you'd like. Oops, I forgot to update my Farcebook page. Edited December 19, 2016 by lostinisaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 We already did for Fathers day and bought some more for ourselves at a stall in a PTT gas station on the way home.Nicely packaged, not expensive and the money goes to the farmer and NOT to any sticky fingered official or middle man.

I have no idea but given the publicity from the government and PTT plus the fact we were in a large rice farming area at Chainat I guess they were the real thing.

Jimbo2014 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thats a change from asking Thais to hoard the rice and then flog mouldy rice at a loss. Ill look forward to a nice bundle of rice when I unwrap my Christmas presents and Ill make sure Santa fills my kids sock with rice too Yinluck. He will be stoked.

Sydebolle Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Good riddance - she has a few hundred thousand tons of the stuff to give away free of charge as apparently under her baton this rice was purchased with tax payers money already ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 So sweet and selfless. She could've suggested mushrooms. Wonder how her mushroom farming is going? Any publicity is good publicity especially when you need to win some support while your're on trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The word rice is a collective noun 2 hours ago, lucky11 said: If she means give different types then that is technically correct. Don't know what you mean by "technically". Rice is a collective noun, used for both the singular and plural form. Rices does not sound nices, even when spoken by womens.

It came from her brother. She was a pawn used by her brother to get back the money which was taken 5 years before. She is already rich, has a family and friends. The brother ruined her life. Please think about that. And yes, she could have said no; but big brother only told her what she needed to know. Very Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't dismiss her as a vacuous airhead. She may lack the chiselled manly features of the current pair of one time lean mean steely eyed dealers of death, but she is certainly aging well. I wouldn't climb over her to get to you, which probably comes as a tremendous relief to both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebrown Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yingluck suggests give rice as a New Year gift. I can imagine Prayut's grimace on reading this! I have a feeling he wished he'd thought of this idea before her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
