Prayut should ignore critics, says Privy Council president

By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Privy Council president General Prem Tinsulanonda on Thursday suggested to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha that he not pay much attention to critics who could demoralise him while he serves the people and the country.

 

PM General Prayut this morning led the Cabinet and military top officials in celebrating the 97th birthday of Prem at Si Sao Thewes residence.

 

“I think Thai people understand what ‘Tu’ is doing,” Prem said, calling Prayut by his nickname “You [Prayut] shouldn’t pay much attention to critics. You should rather focus on your intentions for the country. If they want to talk, let them be. Don’t get headaches because of them.”

 

People should understand that the Prayut-led government is meant to serve people, solve poverty and live well, Prem said.

 

“They should know that we are not doing this for honour or prestige but for our country with genuinely good intentions,” he said “We are tired of being here but we want Thai people to be happy. I wish Tu will remain as who he is.”

 

Prayut, in return, said that he would bring the country to reconciliation. “This will be for Thailand to have a universal, sustainable democracy with good governance,” the premier said.

Even his masters are beginning to see he is losing it, should have had a longer conversation with the frog he might have learned something more useful than his usual brownnosers/advisors....

Dealing with criticism is part of the job.  Not getting demoralized is part of the job.  Paying attention to criticism is part of the job.  Elected leaders can do this and they do not enjoy the same god likes powers that he enjoys.

What a people's person. Secret out why they stage coups. 

[rkidlad]

Yes. ignore the critics. Or - you could try listening to them. Reconciliation is the buzzword we keep hearing. 

 

How about letting reality be the best indicator of what is needed. 

[Thailand]

Does a frog go? rivet rivet or ribbit ribbet?

[gummy]

Sounds like advice to the puppet from the pupputeer

[SOUTHERNSTAR]

The left hand praises the right hand. Both are part of the same body and can thus not critize each other. Long live the network.

WOW!  How long did he need to extract his nose from the silly little general's a*se to make this moment?  I sure would not have wanted to smell his breath!

I'm so happy that the father of democracy approves. A bastion of society and free thought.

In an autocracy honor among thieves is a badge of service.

Hope Prayut enjoys Tinsulanonda's birthday party.
