It means that all civil servants have to install candycrush 4 on their cellphones. Version 4 is written in thai language to make it easier for them.

Its really interesting to hear the PM talk in such a futuristic way with a "Keep em down on the farm" mentality. Oh well thats the new political world order. I often wonder what will go first my pension check or the workers that contribute towards it. When I retired I heard the ratio was 7 working 1 retired collecting. When the ratio hits 1 to 1 we are in deep brown stuff for shure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about creating "Thai cyborgs" and "smart soldiers" whilst you're at it General. The good general is still at the Hornblower stage. Cyborgs could be here now. Smart soldiers do you mean like smart TV's? The TV wins hands down. Edited January 2, 2017 by elgordo38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how time passes so quick when there're so many governments, bosses and laws that no one really listen to.... the earlier versions were about moving employees away from agriculture and tourism, by destroying those sectors. but seriously i think they have screwed up the last part by scaring all the foreign companies who offer the skilled jobs.

Honthy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 OK, let us see the details. The last what I recall no was about increasing the quality of teaching by reducing the actual teaching time.

But this story isn't about the media, as such, but rather the government's policy announcement to create a new type of citizen, the stuff of totalitarian regimes. So I wasn't commenting about "my western media" nor any other nation's media. I was commenting on a policy, pure and simple. Thus, I suggest you learn to more carefully read and interpret posts, before jumping in with an irrelevant comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Maybe thailand could learn from the marijuana boom in the US. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-04/legal-marijuana-sales-'bigger-than-dot-com-boom'/8161218?pfmredir=sm Apparently the marijuana sales are bigger than the dotcom boom.

Agreed - Prayuth's mantra of 'happiness' for the people is a direct correspondence to Huxley's book. Thailand also has lots of orgy porgy to satisfy the masses and Thai TV, with its mind numbing and infantile content, is their equivalent of soma.

He suggested that they use technology to create jobs and propel the economy. 10 MONTHS now, since I started on TV, and how are we doing? The great thing, regardless of the fact that nothing's come out of Government House - the ex-Eastern Tigers Boys Club - is that you hear everyone chanting “Thai people 4.0” at Tesco and 7-11. And, at the CCP gas stations, the attendants are actually singing about it, as they fill you in up; "Come, let us fill you up with gasoline; in preparation for the changing world, oh-ye!" And, the technology for creating jobs . . . what technology and what jobs? Prayut is good at one thing . . . no, two things: lying, whilst keeping a straight face. Oh, yes . . . and dreaming.
