Thanathorn holds Army chief to his promise of reform

By The Nation

 

Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit

 

In a Facebook post, Progressive Movement leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit reminded Army commander Apirat Kongsompong of his promise to reform the armed forces within 90 days in the wake of the Korat shootout in February.

 

The shootout led by an unhappy soldier in a shopping mall in downtown Nakhon Ratchasima claimed up to 20 lives.

 

The former Future Forward Party leader said he will talk about this issue as well as the fact that it is six years since the 2014 coup in a live chat at 8pm on Friday (May 22).

Reform through a new Coup....that's the ticket, Military men no nothing about peace and running countries.  To them its all about rigid structure, and do as I say not as I do....So good luck in the meantime as reform will be where they put those that disagree with them.....reform re-education...

This is why they need to extend the emergency decree. People like this thinking they can call out the government and army !! Cheeky young scoundrel...

I learned along time ago in the Land of Smiles that when a worker says they will come tomorrow morning, that could actually mean a week later. I have no idea how long 90 days is...

Not a snowballs chance in hell, this guy wants to be the next pm and has the means to do it.

It is called Thai Time, and it knows no boundaries or limitations.  My ex was always late to appointments because she said "I get there when I want, they do not like, f*** them".

I don't agree, now is as good as any time to challenge the fake/failed government.

Of course some men come to early, As to the OP cannot see how anyone can hold anyone in charge to account, that's not how it works here, ask anyone at the bottom about trickle down....

would have forgotten about that promise by now,and he

must be seething that Thanathorn has brought it up again.

Indeed. Looks like he'll be held accountable for not following the correct rules too!

I doubt he'll be bothered in the slightest. Thanathorn is heading to obscurity. He'd be there already were it not for the billions and the family. Anyone challenging the "elite" is ignore unless they become too big an irritation.
