BANGKOK — Junta chief Prayuth Chan-ocha is expected to propose using his absolute power Tuesday to overcome the legal hurdles that have delayed the construction of a Thai-Chinese high speed rail line. Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said Monday that the Transport Ministry will propose Gen. Prayuth use his extralegal authority to resolve a long-standing regulatory deadlock over construction of the 179 billion baht project, the first phase of which will connect Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima.

Cadbury Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Invoke Article 44 so we can build a railway. Who cares about the money? Does it get anymore childish than this? Military economists at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Seems some are getting concerned about their commissions with the rail projects taking so long. To use absolute power to get a massive money project going is plainly wrong and an abuse of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 These people have little to show for their time governing. There is no positive legacy. This is what they would be remembered or hated for through history. Bet he won't do it, as he will be hounded for the rest of his life if he makes a bad decision.

Sydebolle Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Correct me if I am wrong; article 44 is the ultimate power key. So why is it, that the prime minister needs to pull this string that often, if his government is supposed to work for him, the government and the country. Article 44 seems to be the ultimate button to push once those bureaucratic dinosaurs are not getting to terms on how to line pockets, how to cream off more that is available and are not doing their job they are initially hired and paid for to do. So this article helps the decision makers to override the inefficiency of their own underlings - what a situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomacht8 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) In the photo, are these the chinese who sell the trains, or are these the thai buyers? Edited June 13, 2017 by tomacht8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 so they need thai standards approved and re licensing, does this mean they will have to become inefficient and unprofessional like their thai compatriots or are Chinese already regarded lower on the professional scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's ok if the Chinese government is corrupt in order to help China. They pay the Cambodian government bribes for contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
