PM Yingluck failed to tackle flood disaster as promised, states ABAC Poll

According Dr. Nappadol Karnika of the ABAC Poll, the growing number of flood victims and casualties had made the public lose faith in the new government and their policy promises.

From the interviews conducted by the poll, the flood has had massive affect on the victims, both mentally and physically. Those in need of fresh water, medical assistance and shelter are experiencing accumulating problems that needs great attention. The poll suggested that those who lost properties and housing during the flood were now in distress.

Essentially, the poll conclusively points out that government assistance is not as efficient and local politicians in the flooded regions are benefiting from the aid. Those with power have the first pick on flood donations, leaving communities and the public behind. Furthermore, the results suggest that the victims are demanding equality in the distribution of resources and that the government should deliver as promised during the election campaigns.
