Under the new regulation drafted by the Interior Ministry, residents in areas or villages that are not inundated would be rewarded if the authorities found it necessary to divert flood water to speed up drainage. Meanwhile, Democrat MPs have pledged to contribute a month's pay to help flood victims. The main opposition party expects to raise Bt5 million for the relief fund. Democrat MP Thaworn Senneam said his party believes that the flooding would stretch out for months, so the MPs would rally to assist the sufferers as long as it takes."

The_Munchmaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 So what if one landowner agrees to lend their land and their neighbour doesn't. Both get flooded but only the former gets compensated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
