In LOS? :) Nope. As a matter of fact, show me any government around the world who ever admitted their incompetence. Take a look at Hungary. Our prime minister was proudly promoting its government's handling of the first and second waves. Repeating our great success of keeping the mortality rate down. Well, what happened next is history. At one time we were the number one in terms of death/million and only recently Peru was overtaking us, so we are number 2 now. Did they admit that they failed? Nope. They just looked on a different type of statistics where Hungary wasn't looking that bad, spin-doctoring the facts, and voila they are started to pat their own backs again.

I'm not sure, as I see the Thailand Development Research Institute is mainly funded by the Canadian government, first through the Canadian International Development Agency, which became part of the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, so I don't really know what to have expected.

Try to do it gently next time :0 The whole point is to make yourself meaningful and successful. As long as you don't hurt yourself, you will be more successful than Prayut and its cronies

Better watch out for the fake news police.  Anything critical of the Thai government is likely to be fake news.  At least you are careful to say it was someone else reporting the "fake" news.

Fake news. Slap the cuffs on The Thailand developement Research Institute. Collar the lot.

I would not be surprised if they did.
