|
BANGKOK, Feb 9 - A Thai government publicity centre named Rakmuangthai -- We Love Thailand -- has been established to keep the public promptly and accurately informed of government affairs and its
handling of varied situations and crises. Government spokesman Yongyuth Mayalarp said the Rakmuangthai centre will launch a proactive publicity campaign and invite citizens networks and popular organisations from all regions of the country to
contribute to the distributing of accurate, updated information about the government's handling of both routine matters and emergency cases involving national security, the public interest and other matters. Mr. Yongyuth said the publicity centre will by no means turn out to be a propaganda campaign for the government but will help educate the people about political reforms, teach moral and ethical principles
(among other interesting subjects), and uphold patriotism and the monarchy. The government centre will not only publicise information to citizens inside the country but also to overseas audiences. Activities of the Rakmuangthai Centre will be evaluated at two-month intervals, while citizens may apply to contribute to the government publicity centre via www.rakmuangthai.com. The Public Relations Department is yet to lay out detailed operations of the publicity centre, the government spokesman added. (TNA)
