Liar PM: Assembly of the Poor children raise banners and shout, "Almighty
Prime Minister is a liar." This is in reference to Prime Minister Taksin's
refusal to abolish Cabinet Decision of 1 October 2002 (to open Pak Moon
Dam's sluice gates only for 4 months a year) in spite of his oft-reiterated
vow to adhere to academic advice ie. the government-funded and initiated
study by Ubol University, which recommends that the dam's gates should be
kept open all year round for a minimum of 5 years to allow the Moon River's
ecology and communities to recover. The study also assures that this would
not affect the volume of reserve electricity and would benefit all parties. |
