Prayut dismisses criticism as Isaan reels under heavy inundation
Now we know what those “submarines” were bought for....

Some might conclude that this was a
government plan to prevent the hordes descending on Bangkok to support Yingluck.

The government dont care about Isaan, because it is full of Yingluck supporters.

He could not destroy the strong support they have through political persecution of the Shinawatras so he is now becoming a desperate man.
Given his and his junta’s appalling disregard to human rights then he most probably is somehow directly involved in this mismanagement and the reservoir containment failure which contributed significantly to the plight of these poor people, and maybe is meant as a demonstration to say “I and my junta supporters will just drown you if we have to”.

Prayut said he did not want the suffering of flood victims to be politicised in an effort to discredit the government
It is called scrutiny and if you cannot bear it, then do not take over a country at gunpoint.

What a callous man

You know what Thailand need? A network of reservoirs, interconnected with one another so that if one regions floods, the other won’t have to contend with drought!
Why do they think installing pumps and draining all the water into the river will solve the problem in the long run.. Mismanagement is the reason why Thailand fluctuates between flood season and drought season.

I’m pretty sure that “mismanagement” is defined as allowing the same natural disasters to happen year after year after year and not taking the steps to mitigate the problem – and instead concentrate on buying military hardware and other boondoggles.
