Flood problems, but no solutions flowing
Re: “Engineers highlight lack of local flood plans and warning systems”, National, August 3.
Come on! It’s so much less trouble just to make excuses than it is to devise a constructive course of action.
Besides, all the Thai engineers were playing with their cellphones for the entire 10 minutes they taught disaster prevention and warning systems in university.

Thai “engineers” don’t even know that water won’t flow uphill.
It’s more important to have a very big pickup truck and new cellphone, so who needs a water system? You can’t show that off in the village, so it’s useless.

A problem here in Thailand is that local organisations often only spring into action after people higher up force them to. It is as if they are afraid to make changes. So many incompetent people in posts who just want to collect a salary and skim off the budget. It would be too much to ask them to do their jobs.
Look at the disaster-prevention guy with the warehouse full of unused boats, saying they are already allocated and some aren’t working. Then fix them – it’s your job. It really looks like people don’t want to do their job or are not good at it.

That’s really funny. Thailand and planning do not go together, apart from one exception: The “elite” always have plans to fill their pockets.
