Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Wednesday vented his anger at a Reuters reporter at the Government House.
Prayut apparently lost his temper after the reporter asked about the value of the damage of the rice-pledging scheme by the government of then prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
Prayut replied that the figure has not yet been officially concluded and a government committee would later announce it.
“Why? You really want it now? You must tell Reuters to say [write] better yesterday [Tuesday],” Prayut burst out and, left the podium and walked upstairs to his office immediately.
On Tuesday, Reuters published an interview of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who warned that the junta would worsen the economy if it prolongs its stay in power.
