Juntification, not gentrification

We read that the governor of the TAT has “pushed back against fears that Bangkok was being gentrified in the image of Singapore – a city that relishes orderliness but is often characterised as tame compared to its Southeast Asian rivals.”
Two words leap out from this sentence:  “gentrified,” to describe the nascent New Bangkok; and “tame”, to describe its prim southern neighbour.
The operative word in the first instance should be a new one: “juntified,” to designate remoulding in accordance with the wishes of the junta.  The operative word in the second instance should be “boring.”
By now the junta’s motives should be transparently clear even to a blind man.  It wants to juntify the entire country by rolling back the 1932 revolution, as foreshadowed by the disappearance of the original commemorative plaque; and to juntify Bangkok by turning our once-vibrant street life into a sterile clone of Singapore. Where will all this end?  
We can only brace ourselves.
