Heed His Majesty's advice in the aftermath
Play
We should heed the sagacious advice, knowing guidance and benevolent kindness of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej to focus priorities on rescue measures and pay attention to emergency crisis control, while planning for a saner and safer future.
His Majesty’s humble plea to keep upcoming 84th birthday celebrations as simple as possible, should be respected. Instead, offer support to the 800,000 victims and countless others affected by the surging floods, which have wreaked havoc, eroded confidence and caused damage to homes, farmland and employment. What has impressed me most while watching the excellent news coverage is the inspiring stalwartness, good-hearted smiling nature and resilience of residents joining together to help each other to overcome, surmount obstacles and get on with reconstruction, rehabilitation and renovation.
