Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Wednesday lambasted an unnamed newspaper, saying it criticised him everyday on every page.
He said he would lodge a complaint with the press association against the newspaper. Prayut said the paper made him angry, and thus reduce his demeanour as the prime minister.
“I have been tolerating this paper for a long time. It criticises me on every issue and on every page,” Prayut said.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with the paper. It criticises everyone who becomes prime minister. What’s good about this kind of practice?”
Prayut said he did not want to buy this kind of paper but that it was always brought to him to read.
“I don’t want to read it because I become angry when I read it and this casts me in a negative light, Prayut told the media at a press conference to announce his government’s performance after three months in office.
