PM must stand up to schoolboy bully
Play
Dear Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra: If you decide to skirmish with Abhisit Vejjajeva in the censure debate, you must sharpen your oratory skills, and you have a lot of work cut out for you.
I suggest you watch a YouTube clip (http://tinyurl.com/92w5v8u) showing Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard lambasting opposition leader Tony Abbott. Notice her body language, hand gestures and tone of voice, which make Abbott squirm like a little boy caught with a condom in his pocket.
Abhisit is like a bully who picks on smaller boys because he knows they won’t stand up to him. He knows his oratory skills are better than yours, since he has more experience. He wouldn’t dare mess with guys like Chalerm Yoobamrung, Jatuporn Promphan or Nathavudh Saiguer. He only picks on you. You keep avoiding him and he’ll keep pushing. Public-speaking skill is not an innate gift – it can be acquired by practising diligently.
Get yourself a good speech coach. It’s time to stand up to the bully. Good luck.
