Army chief urges people not to believe ill-boding rumours
Army Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda on Monday condemned those who spreaded ill-fated rumours, which caused a stock market plunge, saying it was a highly inappropriate action for Thais.
He said the Internal Security Operations Command met recently to discuss the matter. The meeting resolved that the government created public understanding on the issue.
People should listen and believe statements from Bureau of the Royal Household as they were accurate and trustworthy, he said.
He also urged the media to disseminate daily reports about His Majesty the King's condition from Bureau of the Royal Household.
"This is a sensitive issue. The media should help bring about the right public attitude that people should not believe remours,'' he said.
