Thai PM: Oh no, he's put his foot in it again!

One of the students asked him for advice on how to be successful. He responded by saying that he taught his children that they must start by being a khee ka -- a derogative term for a low-ranking underling,...

PM Srettha said the students are a privileged class of people who constitute just 1% of the population and should make use of their expertise and resources for the benefit of others.

This time, he posted on social media expressing condolences to the Israeli government and condemning Hamas immediately.

His impromptu remark caused concern in the Foreign Ministry and among many Thais that Thailand should not take sides in such a complex issue as the Israeli-Palestine conflict.

What the prime minister said could be summed up as follows: There were so many requests for police promotions for superintendent from the audience that some could be met, but others were not. That amounts to an admission that he had received many requests for special favours from Pheu Thai Party members, and he managed to fulfil some but not all of them.

Political interference in the annual police reshuffle has been a practice under all governments.

All prime ministers, past and present, are aware of this malpractice, but not everyone was directly involved. More importantly, as far as I can recall, none ever admitted in public to what goes on the...

He needs someone close to him -- if not a professional communications coach, then a PR flak or spokesman -- to warn him when he opens his mouth.
