The 31 August no-confidence debate saw a war of words between General Prayut Chan-o-cha (nicknamed Tu) and Thai Liberal Party\u2019s Police General Sereepisuth Temeeyaves (also nicknamed Tu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the choicest quotes from General Prayut in replying to Police General Sereepisuth\u2019s accusation of his alleged corruption, dishonesty, incompetence, lack of intelligence and integrity, and brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI pray every day; therefore I will do no wrong\u2026 I only have the monthly salary that I use every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou were only the police chief. I\u2019m the prime minister. So, therefore, our experiences are different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want the people listening at home to understand. Look at my face. Listen to me. I speak from my heart. I speak from my brain that you say is so small. But don\u2019t forget, I have six to seven years of experience [as prime minister]. That\u2019s the difference that shows I know more than you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see any police using real weapons\u2026. The police are the only ones getting shot every day. So why do you say the police use violence? It\u2019s not the truth. It\u2019s not what happens in the images. Don\u2019t just choose to look at images on social media. It depends on who shows the images.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhether I stay or go depends on the democratic process. I cannot manipulate anyone. Today, the people have opened their eyes wider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy orders are transparent, coming from committee resolutions. So don\u2019t say I command as a dictator or say I\u2019m addicted to dictatorial power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf we only have one [submarine], I ask you what we will do if something happens? Should we prepare for the future? You think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDecreasing the numbers of [army] generals. It\u2019s not that I haven\u2019t thought about it. But can we just fire all [generals] today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy parents and teachers taught me to speak in mild-manner, to be polite and patient, not to curse, insult, or demean. They taught me that the accent reveals the language, the action reveals the family value.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
