From
the Thai-language press: Matichon editorial:
Must talk about "The Opportunity"
- October 3, 2005
TV broadcasts about Suwannapoomi Airport on the day
of the auspicious inauguration used language as though
people are under an obligation of politicians who
created the airport. It may be partly true, but if
we think that politicians volunteer to work for people,
this issue may be rejected because this is politicians
duty and responsibility to serve the nation not make
people feel under their obligation.
If we follow the Nong-ngoohao Airport story since
the beginning, more than 40 years ago, it shows the
insufficiency of politicians and they were only interested
in being elected. Compare with the neighbor or international
countries, the sufficiency of our politicians falls
far short.
As we know material modernization is a part of economic
growth and we have lots of neighbor competitor countries
that have lots of abilities. Some are behind us, but
at present many more are more modernized than Thailand.
In the view of competition, for the Suwanapoom Airport,
the slower we finish, the less successful we are.
Because we have obstructed progress by trickery for
benefit of a few and this showed we lack professional
politicians. We have only electioneers who are insufficient
in both ideas and management.
Media work is not easy as holding the microphone or
tape recorder in hand. We have to study hard at least
knowing peoples minds really enough to show
opinion or vision. If we do not know, we just report
the truth that is expedient. At worst, if we can think,
instead being people who work for status in government,
we should think for those people who lost opportunity
from the past up to now because we elected politician
to get benefit for themselves. For the airport construction,
people have known it was notorious since the beginning.
So it is not a surprise to see the electioneers are
fatter during this time.
