webfact Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 DPM Yongyoot declares success in anti-road fatality campaign during Songkran holidays BANGKOK, 21 April 2012 – The government has declared success in its “Zero Songkran Holiday Death” campaign. Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Yongyoot Wichaidit said during the weekly “Yingluck Government Meets the People” program that the government regrets the loss of lives and the injuries suffered by the public during this year's Songkran holidays. Mr. Yongyoot stated that both deaths and injuries seen in the past holiday are tragic and remain a lesson for those who live to remember. However, the Deputy PM is pleased that the government-initiated campaign to rid the country of road fatalities during the Songkran holidays ended up with six provinces recording 'zero' death this year. They include Nakhon Phanom, Trat, Trang, Ranong, Pattani and Satun. He added that, with more than 260 districts across the country reported no road accident at all, the campaign could be declared a success of a certain level. -- NNT 2012-04-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) There were more road deaths than last year.......... And that is what he declares as a success. There were also zero Songkran road deaths in Hong Kong,, I am sure they will be eternally grateful to the DPM there!

phl Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 HMmm, i am speechless and it never happens. Just the other day, the death toll, according to some papers was higher then previous years, but its a success? because in some provinces there were no REPORTED deaths?! I guess the great thing about every Thai government is that in every failed mission, they always find a positive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pimay11 Posted April 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just another line of BS from these PTP idiots. Last year's flood control was a success, 1,000,000 tablets delivered to students by the beginning of the school year, there are no terrorists in Thailand, 300 Baht mimimum wage country wide immediately, food prices under control, it's not about Thaksin, on and on and on. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yunla Posted April 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2012 PTP's blinkered & hollow statement today is a great insult to the many people who lost their lives on the roads this last week & to many others who are now spending their lives in disability from crashes. My prayers are with the injured & the families of those poor people. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkytowner Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Living in Thailand is like being regaled by endless loops of the Goon Show and Monty Python.
