“Wirot” is concerned about the budget for the trays, asking what the new specifications are for.

'Wirote' still has doubts about the explanation of the Royal Thai Army, asking whether the trays are used to protect against bullets or to act as a shield like Captain America or something. Why did they set new specifications? He criticized whether the food in the trays was full or not because nowadays they are given little like they are worshiping 'ghosts'. He pointed out that these small budgets are the 'treasures and twilight zone' of the army. Mr. Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, a party-list MP for the Prachachon Party, gave an interview about the case in which the Quartermaster Department came out to clarify after the debate on the budget for purchasing trays for soldiers. However, if the Quartermaster Department looked at the comments on social media, it would see that there were questions about why it had to be so big because the food in the trays was small, similar to the offerings for the wandering spirits. Sometimes, the offerings would look more than the food for the soldiers, or the emphasis would be on the rice that was piled up in the trays. Mr. Wirot continued that the price that the Army Quartermaster Department has announced is similar to both brands, Zebra and Seagull, at 500 baht per unit. However, if you search on general websites, it will be around 300-400 baht, but that is the price per 1 piece. In the case of the Army, there is an order for production of up to 10,000 pieces, but the Army may claim that this is a production, so it must be made in a new way. But the question is, why do they have to make new pieces when there are already some on the market, only 3 centimeters shorter and 0.3 millimeters thinner? If you say that the Army's is made in a way that the edges of the tray are curved, but both brands already have rounded edges that are used in schools. 'There is another thing that I read in the explanation and feel like asking a question: for use in off-base operations, it must be extra durable. So I would like to ask if it will be used as a bulletproof shield or something, or if it can be thrown and boomeranged back like Captain America's shield. And I would like to emphasize that the Department of Quartermaster of the Royal Thai Army must accept that the public has also examined the TOR and knows that the strange specifications are intended to proceed with specific procurement,' said Mr. Wirot. Mr. Wirot continued that the price of the trays is in the tens of thousands, but it is more expensive than buying one online. Some people argue that selling to the military requires a 90-day bill, which is quite a long time to get the money back. However, he does not think that the interest rate increase should not be this high or increase this much. When asked about the appropriateness of the explanation, Mr. Wirot wanted to look at the comments on social media to see if there must be such and such a function. But the question that was asked back was whether the 6 holes were complete or not. They would be complete only when there were high-ranking officials, ministers, and assistant ministers visiti ng the military camp. But on a normal day at the camp, they did not want to gather all the armed forces. Many camps were complained about the small amount of food. Sometimes, the left hole was forked and the right hole was forked. Therefore, it was thought that this budget should be reduced and changed to food expenses for military officers, would that be better? Mr. Wirot said that some people said why do you have to be so picky about the trays? I want to say that this is just the beginning. I want you to go and find the winner of the auction. You will find garlic and beef that cost tens of thousands of kilograms but are more expensive than the market price. In addition, there are T-shirts, pants, mosquito nets, pillows, cabinets, beds, and sarongs. Mr. Wirot also revealed that what he had heard was the real treasure and twilight zone of the army, not in the procurement of military equipment, because these things will have a government-to-government (G to G) sales contract that prohibits offering benefits or under-the-table money, which will have restrictions on corruption. But in this form, it may be easy to eat, eat raw, eat snacks, eat sips, so he noted that it may have happened at the Department of Quartermaster, so he asked to go and watch the program that he had talked about earlier. When asked if there was an opportunity for the Military Affairs Committee to observe this issue in the army, Mr. Wirote stated that he thought about discussing it in the meeting, but was afraid of being a pawn. If they arranged mosquito nets and pillows to look at, one day they would not have to do anything. The Committee noted that there were many other expensive items. This did not include the thick, antibacterial socks, which he did not know how good they were, so he could step on a landmine without getting hurt. Source: Thai News Agency
