PM's flood trip 'set to be washout'

CRITICS DISMISS 'ELECTION CAMPAIGN'

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's five-day flood trip is likely to be futile as it is aimed at boosting the government's popularity rather than seriously looking into flood problems, critics say.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra visited flood-hit areas of Sukhothai last August, just four days after being sworn in.

Starting from Monday, Ms Yingluck and her entourage of about 10 cabinet ministers will visit seven provinces hit by last year's major deluge in the lower North and Central Plains to inspect flood recovery and preparations.

Can someone ask the PM what happened to the 24 large flood pumps that were installed in Rangsit Thanyaburi Klong 12 that have all disappeared? Even the original pumps that have been there for years are removed.

@bula. Jatuporn is destroying Thailand's much needed reputation for government stability. How much damage did he do and how many investors has he put off ?

Do you really think his loud mouth would deter a coup ? Get real !

Disc 15 - Rubbish.
Jatuporn never did anything with his big mouth but burn down a city and kill people.

Do you honestly think she will be told the truth? Now if she sent some underlings unannounced to find out what the locals think she may get somewhere and find some good suggestions.Weather the government and the powers that be take any notice is another thing

The title of this journalistic piece is very misleading .... the flood of critic came down to 2 named sources that may have a different political observance than the PM ... beside from that there were no not previously known information.

I think Jatuporn wanted to avert coup. He had averted coups through his 'big mouth.'
