TRANSLATION: (When being asked about Thai navy's controversial procurement of submarine from China)For Thais, it is a massive slap in the face (from the government) because the country is now in (economic) crisis. And we are not at war with anyone. Obviously, it seems like (the government) spits in our face and they don't even respect our voices. Right now, all the Thais agree that the government should suspend the purchase of military hardware but the army, the navy and the air force are not backing down with their attempt to buy more weapons.
