Billions or millions (as shown in a later post)? Hey what's a few million or billion here or there? Is there a difference; only a few zeros, does it matter?

Great to see even the journalists and editors of the Nation are so well educated from the Thai system.

Wasn't it in several other threads recently arguments about the of general education in Thailand being "on the blink", and as always, NOTHING changes!? How people can argue the case that it's just TV posters doing Thai bashing when people question their system is beyond me!

Don't know about you but if my salary differed by a few billion or million, I wouldn't call that a minor discrepancy!

Perhaps they can hold off until JUST before the next election, then what do you know, just magically it will be implemented across all of the remaining provinces with great fanfare and chest beating!

Making a lot of vowing lately!

Hmmm, unfortunately not a lot of actual fulfillment to all these vows.  

May need to actually produce some true visionary policies which include a well thought-out long term education plan, improved employment prospects for all and much improved economic management. Oh but there's the basic problem, the word that comes to mind true "management"!

Out of 63,000,000 people is this the best they can find?

One poster suggested on another thread that what's really happening here is the potential making of the Shinawatra dynasty; which could be quite debilitating for the country if it takes hold.

The reality is that there is a general lack of visionary opposition that can gain the attention of the masses whereas the charismatic leadership of Shinawatra easily persuades the uneducated and naive to have faith that all will be well to just have faith. Notice it's all sounding a bit religious with all this vowing and pledging.

Put togther by a Real Estate journalist! Who becomes a Real Estate journalist? No name even on the original!

Why is it that so many articles posted by local journalists are so poor with basic Mathematics yet generally Maths is strong point from this region overall?

Anyway, yes clearly numbers are way out!

Ahh yes he has a cunning plan! You just don't understand the depth of Thai politicians and senior public servants. You forget this is THAIland for Thais, so the emphasis is to be sure not to inconvenience THAIS in THAIland! When you realise this you will see the wisdom of his cunning plan!
