PM Forced to Speak to Virtually Empty Seminar RoomBANGKOK: -- In an event hosted by the Economic Reporters Association, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was scheduled to give a speech on the 2012 GDP. The event took place this morning at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok.
According to the program, more than 400 participants, consisting of economic reporters and business leaders, were supposed to attend and listen to the PM's thoughts on this year's economic growth. However, when the time came for the prime minister to take the stage at 10:10 AM, the seminar room was virtually empty, leaving white linen covered chairs unoccupied.
Very few economic reporters attended the event and practically no business people bothered to come. The only people present were reporters who cover the prime minister's beat.
Accounts from reporters at the scene indicate that Prime Minister Yingluck became increasingly agitated, frequently asking whether or not the seminar room was close to being full.
In the end, Yingluck's team and the event's organizers decided to ask the cameramen, assistant cameramen, hotel interns and employees of a nearby Bangkok Bank branch to come participate in the event, trying to fill as many seats as possible.
The prime minister unwillingly took the stage and gave her speech at 10:30 AM.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Kittirat Na Ranong refused to attend the event, claiming he had an important meeting with the SME Association.
