BANGKOK: -- The National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) has adjusted its working mode so it has had no meetings the past three weeks, said its vice president Alongkorn Ponlaboot.

 

A number of its subcommittees and panels are working with the newly established committees under the government's supreme committee, or the Por Yor Por, introduced early this year by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, Alongkorn told The Nation in response to reports the NRSA had called off six consecutive meetings in the past three weeks despite each member receiving over Bt100,000 salary every month.

 

The NRSA vice president said the “road map” to democracy – the grand scheme of which the reform is part – has now entered its second phase under the supervision of the Por Yor Por. In this phase, the NRSA has to work on the reform plan which covers more than 40 topics under 27 urgent reform points, in addition to dozens of legislations, he explained.

They are much smarter than the NLA. In order to fight against absenteism,  they suspend sessions....

Assume they're still drawing their ~ 115,000 monthly salary, along with the salaries of their five family members staff?

 

Sounds like they're foregoing their additional per meeting bonus, while they "adjust their working mode"?

The assembly includes 80 military officers. http://en.vietnamplus.vn/thailand-sets-up-national-reform-steering-assembly/82725.vnp

They are allowed military pay in addition to compensation adjustment, ie., as a member of the NRSA, that is not considered "salary." If a member of the NRSA is also a member of the NLA, I'd expect additional compensation adjustment. It literally pays to be part of a junta government.

Money for nothing,that's the kind of job i would like.

There isn't one decent toupe maker in Thailand?
That's a really bad one.

Utterly, utterly shameless. It's hard to fathom how people continue to put up with this.
