July 6, 20178 yr Dr. Surin suggests Thailand to increase competitiveness BANGKOK, 6 July 2017, (NNT) - Former ASEAN Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan has suggested that Thailand steadily and transparently raise its competitiveness by addressing the flaws of state administration. The remarks were made during the second “Wittayalai Kanthap Sampan” academic seminar, which discussed how Thailand can achieve stability as an ASEAN country with support from the military. The seminar was attended by a large number of cadets from the Royal Thai Armed Forces. Dr. Surin lectured the military cadets about the development of ASEAN and the obstacles encountered since its inception. He said the bloc has gained stability and global recognition, due to its various trade relations. Dr. Surin asserted that Thailand should boost its competitiveness, in order to gain more stability. He stressed that the Kingdom must achieve greater competitiveness without sacrificing transparency and that the first area the nation should tackle is government bureaucracy. The attendees were urged to exchange their knowledge and academic experiences, in order to push towards nationwide stability, prosperity, and sustainability. -- nnt 2017-07-06

For sure the cadets were ordered to attend to make up the numbers and listen to a bit of brainwashing. Eliminating "undisclosed commissions" going to those within might make Thailand more competitive.
July 6, 20178 yr 4 hours ago, webfact said: Thailand should boost its competitiveness The military and its current junta has done quite the opposite and show no signs of changing. It is rich that he is spouting such silliness to young people's whose jobs will probably stifle Thailand.

July 6, 20178 yr Well he's absolutely right. The ridiculous bureaucracy here is strangling any chance of progress. Let's hope someone was listening.
July 6, 20178 yr Dr. Surin asserted that Thailand should boost its competitiveness, in order to gain more stability. He stressed that the Kingdom must achieve greater competitiveness without sacrificing transparency and that the first area the nation should tackle is government bureaucracy. Why it's so complicated and difficult??? I can't understand. The General should use Section 44 and give orders. The vermin will obey....or they wouldn't ???
July 6, 20178 yr Dr Surin is an intelligent and well travelled man and should know that political stability is an integral and important aspect of being competitive. Yet he lack the fortitude to say that outright.
July 7, 20178 yr 11 hours ago, Eric Loh said: Coups are Thailand biggest deficit in becoming more competitive. That's not fair! I'm sure that Thai generals are the most politically competitive officers in the world. Their special status in Thai society relieves them of a burdensome loyalty to the constitution. They may not do well fighting foreign invaders but they sure know how to defeat the Thai people. Their competitiveness reflects a consistent history of one coup about every 4 years that outnumbers elected governments. No other country can match Thailand as the Hub of Coups. (satire)

July 7, 20178 yr Thanks, Dr. Surin! Thailand should also become richer, safer, and more highly educated, as long as we're at the wishing well.
