BANGKOK: -- Can you really lump together national strategy, reform and reconciliation, feed it into one big committee and expect that everything will all work out somehow?

 

For the sake of simplicity – if that’s still possible in resolving national issues – let’s call it the Triple Mission.

 

Well, the government is optimistic it can meet this highly ambitious goal, even though it seems at best elusive and at worst impossible, especially when the scheme aims to achieve all those objectives by diktat from above.

 

Premier Prayut Chan-o-cha is likely aware of the scepticism that prevails among a significant segment of citizens. Hence his request-cum-order: “Please don’t pour criticism on the plan before it is given a chance to work out.”

“Please don’t pour criticism on the plan before it is given a chance to work out.”   Given the lack of political capital his government enjoys, the self appointed premier should not expect too much mercy.  For a military man, he always asks for understanding and charity.  He must have had a very easy, entitled life.  

Stalling for time.

When you feed it to one big committee stand back as you know what comes out the other end.

Often compared to making sausage; best not to look too closely.

 

 

“Please don’t pour criticism on the plan before it is given a chance to work out.”

 

Talk about a butchered metaphor.

 

Presumably it will be acceptable to ladle on criticism "after" they've finished "cooking" today's reform blue-plate special?

 

He just loves criticism.
