webfact Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Pheu Thai questions PM’s excuse for staying in Army welfare housing File photo Pheu Thai party spokesman Anusorn Iamsa-ard has challenged the excuses offered by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan and Interior Minister Anupong Paochai justifying their continued stay in military welfare housing, despite having retired from the military service. The Prime Minister cited security concerns for his continued stay in a military compound after his retirement, while General Prawit claimed he, in his capacity as chair of a foundation, has been staying at the foundation’s office, which is rented from the Finance Ministry. Meanwhile. General Anupong claimed it was inconvenient for him to live in his own house, due to its distance from the Interior Ministry, so he stays in welfare housing closer to his office. Anusorn asked why the Prime Minister, General Prawit and General Anupong are exceptional cases and are not required to vacate welfare housing, while the other generals move out upon retirement.

Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 'Meanwhile, Deputy Army Commander-in-Chief General Natthapol Narkpanich said today there are about 100 retired generals and special colonels who are still living in welfare housing units after their retirement.' He assured, however, that this problem will be resolved around March. Which year 2040 ?

Popular Post colinneil Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Greed, greed, greed, that is the only reason Prayut is still abusing welfare housing. How on earth can he use the excuse... Security, last weeks incident in Korat shows there is no security on army bases here.

I am very surprised that Thailand does not have a dedicated residence for their Prime Minister, as for the others, if their own residence is too far away to commute, they should be given an allowance so that they may rent something nearer to Parliament, like most other Countries in the World do.........even in Africa!

They do..."Phitsanulok Mansion" Only two PM's have ever lived there ........ Prem Tinsulanonda and Chuan Leekpai. The house is believed to be haunted. With Napoleon's penchant for fortune tellers, soothsayers etc etc, it is no small wonder that he does not live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I'm told, Pitsanukok Mansion is the prime minister's official residence and has been for some time. Only 2 PM have stayed there and only for a short time. Apparently it's haunted. And we all know the Thais' view of haunted houses.... Sorry, missed the post above whilst researching.
