    • Thais to be evacuated from Wuhan on Saturday


    A chartered plane will depart on Saturday morning to pick up Thais stranded in virus-hit Wuhan, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said on Friday.

    Gen Prawit said China had given permission for the plane to land at locked-down Wuhan.

    Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul was handling arrangements for the evacuation, Gen Prawit said.

    Dr Narong Aphikulvanich, deputy director-general of the Medical Services Department, said 64 Thai citizens were confirmed to be in Wuhan. A team of doctors specialising in respiratory infections and emergency medicine would be on the plane. .

    They would have the necessary equipment to examine the evacuees as they board the plane and again after they arrive back in Thailand, Dr Narong said.

    Those with symptoms of illness would be quarantined in hospital for at least 14 days. The others would be monitored at their homes for the same period for any signs of disease, he said.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...47829#cxrecs_s

      • House passes 2020 budget bill



      The House of Representatives has voted 257-1 with three abstentions to pass the 2020 budget bill, but not without a setback.

      The vote on the second reading, which calls for a vote on each section, had to be redone after the meeting lacked a quorum on Section 6 on the contingency budget.

      The meeting consisted of coalition MPs since the opposition earlier decided not to attend the meeting.

      The members voted and approved Sections 1-31 before taking a one-hour break at 12.50pm.

      During the break, Mr Chuan reportedly called a meeting with his legal team because Veerakorn Kamprakob, a Palang Prachararth MP for Nakhon Sawan, had pointed out the meeting lacked a quorum during the vote on Section 6.

      A total of 244 MPs voted on the section of the required 249, half of the existing 498 members of the House.

      After the break, Mr Chuan allowed the MPs to use the voting devices of the Opposition. He told the members he was worried the problem could cause yet another delay.

      After a short debate, Mr Chuan called a revote starting from Section 1 at around 3pm.

      Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a member of the Budget Bill panel who sought a debate on almost all sections and had debated through Section 30, agreed to drop the request for further debate. He won applause from members for helping speed up the process.

      The vote by section ended at 4.30pm. The third reading, which involves a single vote whether to approve the bill in its entirety, followed. The House voted 257-1 with three abstentions to approve it.

      The Constitutional Court told the House to vote again on the second and third readings after some MPs were found to have voted on behalf of their absent colleagues.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...20-budget-bill
      • Budget bill clears Senate unchallenged


      The Senate took only an hour on Friday (February 14) to approve legislation on the national budget for fiscal 2020, ending a much-delayed and drawn-out process that ramped up fears of causing more damage to the economy.

      Senators assembled at 2pm for what was understood to be a debate-free formality.

      House Speaker Chuan Leekpai will now submit the bill to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who will wait a required five days in case there any further objections before presenting it to His Majesty the King to endorse.: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/...ernal_referral

        • Lil' Green Prayuth has no more returned as PM than he ever was PM in the first place. He seized power illegitimately by military coup, stole the farcical elections, and has no more legitimate claim to being the PM of Thailand than the head of the Boy Scout association. He has never been legitimately elected, and any wank action or piece of legislation his illegitimate junta makes can be overturned at the stroke of a pen, when/if Thailand finally regains a legitimate government.

            I wouldn't be holding my breath with the hopes of a legitimate democratic government any time in the far distant future.

            Better bet that all will remain the same, in one controlling form or another, for some time to come.
            Or.....until their are no longer any historical influencing circles.....or, a bloody revolution takes place.

                Though, seem to be overtly concerned about Thai affairs in a somewhat bitter matter.

                  • Prayut shoots down 9-day Songkran holiday

                    The prime minister has poured cold water on the suggestion to extend this year's Songkran Festival into a nine-day holiday.

                    Emerging from the weekly cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said the idea was not tabled as a proposal for the cabinet to consider.

                    Gen Prayut said he personally did not agree with a longer Songkran holiday.

                    The idea was to add two more days -- Thursday, April 16, and Friday, April 17 -- so that the Songkran holiday would run nine days from April 11-19.

                    "I think the normal holiday should be enough, because all public services are necessary. I don't think an extended holiday to spur tourism would generate much return," the prime minister said.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...ngkran-holiday

                              Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday (February 19) went to Nakhon Ratchasima province to meet with people and families affected by the Korat mass shooting earlier this month and offered compensation totalling Bt34.8 million.

                              The PM and accompanying ministers met local people after praying at the Thao Suranaree Monument or Yamo, a memorial to a Thai heroine, for peace.Prayut gave financial aid and amulets at the Prem Tinsulanonda Auditorium, Nakhon Ratchasima City Hall to the injured and the families of those who had died in the mass shooting. The compensation from the Victims of Disaster Fund, the Office of the Prime Minister, totalled Bt34.8 million.

                              On Wednesday, the families of 24 out of 27 who had died received Bt1 million each. Nineteen of 21 people who suffered serious injuries received Bt200,000 per person, and 32 out of 36 people who suffered light injuries got Bt100,000 per person. There is also compensation for recovery victims under the Victim Compensation Act. The provincial office is still investigating damages to determine compensation for property damaged in the incident.

                              The prime minister then travelled to Korat Terminal 21 department store to inspect the place and boost the morale of shop operators and the public.: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/...ernal_referral
