Public urged to record events paying tribute to King
The Public Relations Department has invited people to record photographs and video clips of historic activities that would take place nationwide on Tuesday at 8am under the banner “Rurm Palang Haeng Kwarm Pakdee” when the general public perform good deeds as a tribute to His Majesty the late King Bhumibol, the Chakri Dynasty and the Royal Family.
Such images and clips could be submitted to the department’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/prdofficial) so that the agency could select, edit and broadcast them via the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand, said acting department chief and Government Spokesman Maj-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd yesterday.
The Cabinet-approved activities are divided into three types: performing good deeds by conducting public services; organising ceremonies in which people will pledge to do good for the nation, the religion, and the monarchy in front of a portrait of the late King, as well as join in the mass singing of the Royal Anthem and other songs as appropriate; and, show intent to perform good deeds in people’s hearts and minds through meditation and spreading loving kindness.
Government House will organise this ceremony with Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha leading officials and private sector representatives in reciting the pledge of allegiance, while such a pledge of allegiance will also be held at district offices, educational institutions, and other designated areas.
