BANGKOK: Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and five Cabinet ministers comfortably survived a vote of no-confidence in parliament on Saturday as activists planned more protests against the government.
Lawmakers over four days accused his government of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and criticised him for the severe economic impact, taking aim at the government's slow vaccine roll-out as a result of not making advance vaccine orders and deciding not to join the international COVAX vaccine supply scheme.Thai PM blames COVID-19 for slow economy, defends government in no-confidence debate
Recent rallies have turned violent, with security forces using tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets against protesters who threw stones and firecrackers. Authorities reported the largest single-day increase in cases in mid-August with more than 23,000 cases.
It’s a medical anomaly that he has such thick skin…
PM Prayut has proven he is lawfully installed as Prime Minister. The protest against him should stop immediately. Bring back the economic prosperity of Thailand!
PLEASE 🙏 GOOD LIFE CHOOSING EVERYONE
These Thai 'Milk Tea Alliance' protests will not stop until a US puppet is installed as PM of Thailand. Let's be very realistic about this
