PM concerned with early arrival of rainy season

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Expressing concern over the early arrival of rainy season, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha has instructed officials concerned to accelerate repairs of broken weirs and water catchment areas and encouraged the public to help in this effort.

 

He noted that although much has been done by the government regarding water management, repairs of broken water catchment areas and weirs which are now the responsibility of local administrative bodies are yet to be done and need to be accelerated to cope with the premature arrival of rainy season.

He can stand on the top a mountain and use Section 44 of the constitution to order the rain to fall where and when it is supposed to.

In the past too busy dreaming about subs and not thinking about his own people by providing water catchment in a country that is know to be dry. says a lot about him does it not?

Caught off guard... early rainy season, who would have thought?

completely unforeseen, a weather anomaly... and the boys in the Met

department? what are they getting paid for?....

No need to worry folks, only 3 days ago the PM said there would be less rain this year.

Wait wait , the seeding has germinated from last year, 

mythology and myths continue to grow in Thailand.

They have had months of dry season in which to prepare, but as with many things here, its a last minute panic to try to get things functional.

Because it takes time, and endless conferences in resorts, to mull or consider the fine-detail of the construction-contracts, no matter how small the projects !

He's bought some new lotus pots for Government House so all will be well.

They new it would be raining. That's why they bought a submarine. Contingency planning at its very best.

Isn't it a big step forward already when he realizes the existence of a rainy (flood) season at all?

similar to King Kanoot but he never had Section 44

Joke TIT

This is based on a forecast of an early rainy season by the Thai Meteorological Department, which is about as reliable as the many fortune tellers, 

Was there not a very recent report stateing that water management was under control!?

Fickle. Yet again.

Must be the mind-set?

What !!!!! i hope that he had his fortune teller, thrown to his pack of ravenous dogs.

Wasn't it just yesterday that he was boasting of his preparedness for the coming rains?

Silly little general.

Maybe he can do a King Canute.

The quarterback hands off the ball oh no its a fumble.

So why on earth did he let it happen? 

 

Never mind - he can always slap an Article 44 rest(rain)ing order on it.

Why ever notice it.  It did not ever have any effect on the life of General officers on the army.  In civvy street it is a big deal.  Three years.  He is beginning to get with the program.  With any luck this exact reading of the riot/flood act might be given 4 or 5 months earlier next year.  However please note, to be fair, he says central government has done most of its dry season maintenance already and it is only the local ampurs that are dragging their heels.

By my account I think it is fine to let the levees overflow That way when it starts to flood you can use the NEWS SUBs for underwater surveillance 

 

needed to shore up the levees ( well that is about as much action as those subs should get )

 

Makes sense RIGHT ?

Didn't this guy just a week or so ago say that everything was in place for possible flooding and was confident things would go smoothly...?

With the mess that is Thailand, this guy's concerned about the rain?

Who got that feeling it's gonna be almost like flood 2011 ? Anyone????
