rooster59 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 PM Prayut concerned about low-income earners, looks for measures for quality of life improvements tewit kemtong BANGKOK (NNT) - During the "Government Weekly" program on the Thai Khu Fah Facebook page, Prime Minister/Defense Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said he was concerned about low-income earners and was seeking additional measures to help them. Gen Prayut said the government has studied data, both domestic and international, especially those from China which could show how over 10 million people were brought out of poverty. The Chinese government has been agreed to allow a working group of officials from Thailand to study measures used to improve the people’s quality of life, albeit that measures to be taken in Thailand might be different from those used in China. Data on and indices of human development in the five most developed provinces and the five least developed provinces will be thoroughly studied. He said the government will find the most suitable measures, which will be a time-consuming process. The prime minister was also concerned over the people consuming too much sweet and salty food, which might cause diseases such as diabetes and kidney problems. Measures will be taken so food manufacturers reduce the sugar content to within safety level. Meanwhile, the prime minister said fragrant plants on Government House premises have been grown to make a beautiful landscape to welcome the country’s guests and it was not about Feng Shui. -- © Copyright NNT 2019-10-12 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet, lots of committees, overseas trips etc. In the meantime, just to help the "poor people" we will try to get rid of as many ex-pats as possible who support the local economy and their Thai families.

The milk of human kindness of the PM is sure to touch the hearts of many. So will his display of insincerity, He must have learned about caring and kindness for humanity from all those years years he served in the military.

AussieBob18 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Get rid of all those old Expats and stop thousands of others from coming to Thailand - those old Expats who often (eventually) marry Thai girls and support whole families. That was such a great thing to do you dingbat. There are so many words to describe this 'Govt' - but all would be [deleted]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've allowed them to keep using paraquat to protect their crops, guaranteed good prices for their rice. They will survive, time to kick back and acquire a few new watches for the collection.

londonthai Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 thailand has the biggest gap in the world between rich and poor. Within the last years, while prayuth took power 5 years ago, they rose up above india and russia. there are 3mln workers on wages 30k/year. there are 10mln workers on 100k/year. there are tens of $ billionaires, with the richest estimated 70bln, who amassed their wealth within just 1 generation. any program for poor won't work - it will be stolen by corrupted officials. Exactly as it's happening now. before the next general elections there would be handouts to poor and bananas for politicians handed out from the public money, in the meantime armed soldiers would maintain peace and order on the streets, as they were doing for the last 5 years it's the whole system that needs to be changed. And it won't be done by the ruling elites, but by a mass of educated and motivated people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, essox essox said: billy liar was a film...dont remember it as a tv programme...think it was set around Bradford !!! Billy Liar is a 1959 novel by Keith Waterhouse, which was later adapted into a play, a film, a musical and a TV series. The work has inspired and featured in a number of popular songs. The semi-comical story is about William Fisher, a working-class 19-year-old living with his parents in the fictional town of Stradhoughton in Yorkshire. Bored by his job as a lowly clerk for an undertaker, Billy spends his time indulging in fantasies and dreams of life in the big city as a comedy writer.

Scot123 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The tiny wages they pay in Thailand should be looked on by the rest of the world as slavery. Long gone is the excuse "if you raise wages prices will rise", when Thailand has become more expensive than the UK. Greed and curruption is a sick cancer that spreads and grows rapidly every time democracy is stolen by the military. It is so sad. I get so angry when I read General this and military in the same sentence because being ex military and coming from a military family these billionaire are nothing more than Mafia Don's.

Pedrogaz Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Prayut: "Yes I'm very concerned about low income earners, that's why I want to create a new taxes for billionaires, like me. You know billionaires, like me, create all the wealth....the employees don't contribute at all really, so the billionaires and hisos, like me, should keep all their money and the lazy idea good-for-nothing low income people should have to pay a special tax to billionaires, like me, to thank them for all their hard work."
