... and how about a Ministry of Sufficiency Economy?
Re: “Let’s honour the late King by committing to the Sufficiency Economy”, The Nation, yesterday.
For any policy to be followed, there need to be quantifiable and measurable criteria. These criteria, at set times, need to be reviewed against projections, and then corrective policies, if required, put in place. The Thai government needs to do this. Woolly statements don’t cut it. Where is the Ministry of Sufficiency Economy?

Sufficiency Economy (Setakit Por Piang), was the phrase on everyone’s lips 10 years ago, when His Majesty was trying to teach his subjects to adopt this admirable lifestyle of self-sufficiency, restraint and financial probity. Not going into debt, purchasing things that you really need, after saving up for them. Living within your means, all things in moderation, being a lifelong learner, realising that life’s riches lie in good health, and an inquiring mind, NOT in money and the blind acquisition of meaningless stuff and tawdry possessions.
