Corruption still a problem
"how hv grey businesses involving #Chinese #mafia gangs been made possible? Only bec certain #state #authorities hv turned a #blindeye. When it comes to corruption, there's no significant difference btw #civilian #administrations & #military #regimes.. It shld be noted tt #Thais first learned of the term #policy-oriented #corruption shortly after #Thaksin #Shinawatra took office in 2000. Extreme #populism is a trademark of e Shinawatra family"

Absence far too much
" #Thaksin when PM, took his #parliament duties a bit too lightly, hardly attending sessions, which gave his admin a reputation as a "majority #dictatorship". #Yingluck followed in his footsteps in 2011. Former PMs Chuan Leekpai, Abhisit Vejjajiva & Samak Sundaravej often answered parliamentary qns. Their presence solidified the institution. Paetongtarn & #PheuThai claim to champion #democracy. Her absence fr parliament is #disrespectful to democracy"
