'Decrepit' PM fighting to stay put, claim reportersThe government and key cabinet ministers have been given epithets to reflect their performance in the eyes of reporters covering them. Reporters on the Government House beat have labelled the government as Yue Yut (Fighting to Stay Put) while others have been assigned to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and high-profile ministers. The powers-that-be were said to be doing everything in their power to keep Gen Prayut in office. The conflicts also threaten to undermine the fraternal ties he has with Gen Prayut and Interior Minister Gen Anupong Paojinda. Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul was called Wak Cine (Vaccine Reproach) for his perceived mishandling of vaccine procurement and distribution.
