What the waste money !

According to the news that the government will buy new cars for the ministers, some of deputy ministers and chiefs who are going to work in the six new departments with the payment around ß 72 million, this news excited me a lot.

In my opinion, buying cars for those people is not wrong because they sacrifice themselves for the country. Moreover, it is important for their jobs.

However, the government should realize that nowadays we are in the hard time, so we need to help each other by saving as much as we could.

If I can remember the government usually comes to announce that Thai economic still be the big problem in the country and send the campaign " Eat Thai food, use Thai

goods and save Thai bank" to people, but what I see, the government is doing the contrary. Especially in this case, how would the government bravely pay ß two million per each car for the ministers and pay for deputy ministers. How much money that the government has to pay? Is it extravagant? No one could answer these questions better than the government.

In this case I strongly agree with Mr.Satid Wongnongtoei, the Announcer of Prachatipat Party, that government should take the old cars from the ministries of the Office of Prime Minister which is going to be called off on October 1st in this year to use again. I think this idea is rather good, since the old cars are not left as a transported waste, beside it also help the government decrease some of payment that the government has to pay.

I hope that the government will pick this idea to consider without any bias that this is the idea of the opposition.
