“This issue is nothing deadly,” Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said yesterday. Security personnel apprehended Srisuwan, secretary-general of the Association to Protect the Thai Constitution, yesterday while he was waiting to submit a petition to the premier urging him to investigate the missing plaque. Students lodged a complaint with police on Sunday asking authorities to investigate, as they deemed the plaque an item of state property. Questions forwarded to Prayut yesterday included: Why was the original plaque replaced? Would his government hunt for the missing plaque?
