Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to a day where democracy takes a triumphant march—a day that’s been eagerly awaited by all who love a good blend of politics and festivity. We’re talking about a spectacle of civic pride, “Marching on Democratic Path towards Constitutional Victory,” which is all set to transform the new plaza into a buzzing hive of erudite chatter and melody starting from the crack of 10 in the morning, orchestrated by the ever-so-diligent deputy House speaker, Mr. Padipat Suntiphada.
Pulling back the curtain on this soiree, Mr. Suntiphada extends a cordial invitation to the great unwashed – yes, you, the members of the public! Ready your wittiest banter and most burning questions, for you’ll be rubbing elbows with a delightful blend of up-and-coming lawmakers and esteemed parliamentary veterans. And, as if the possibility of such exhilarating conversation wasn’t enough to draw a crowd, we have confirmation that the pillars of civil society, the champions of human rights, and the vanguards of political groups will grace the plaza with their presence.
The air will be redolent with the rich aromas of coffee—a brew strong enough to fuel the deep discussions—complemented by a smorgasbord of snacks to keep the energy high and the spirits jovial. “We’re all about that laid-back vibe,” quips Padipat, ensuring an ambiance that’s as smooth as the jazz likely to serenade the backdrop. Ah, and let’s not overlook the instrumental serenades promised by university bands and the stirring rhythms of the Samanchon (Commoners) songs-for-life band, bound to get your toes tapping and hearts throbbing with their melodic storytelling.
Breaking news! The movers and shakers of the modern political sphere, including the adept gladiators of the Move Forward Party and the astute Chart Thai Pattana’s own Nikorn Chamnong, will descend upon the event. Chamnong, in case you’re out of the loop, is the mastermind behind the committee scooping up public sentiment on the pressing matter of constitution rewrites. And let’s not forget, the invitation has been cast far and wide, with the ruling Pheu Thai Party and its associates hopefully penciling us in their diaries, as we await their RSVPs with bated breath.
“This Constitution Day, we’re painting the town with every shade of opinion,” proclaims a hopeful Padipat. “Whether you’re whistling a cheery tune about it or grumbling into your morning cuppa, remember a new constitution isn’t worth the parchment it’s written on without a splash of your thoughts!”
But hold onto your hats, because there’s more! Wander over to Room B1 inside Parliament House come 1pm, and you’ll find activities aplenty celebrating Constitution Day with the same zest and zeal.
Topping off the afternoon will be the venerated Parliament President and House Speaker Wan Muhammad Noor Matha, taking the helm at the plaza’s grand opening. A cornucopia of discourse awaits post-ribbon cutting, with scholarly titans like former prime minister and ex-House speaker Chuan Leekpai, alongside the keen observer of societal mores, Sulak Sivaraksa, gearing up to wield the might of their words.
And as the afternoon wanes, a panel of the wise and learned will rise. At 3pm, sharpen your minds for “Development of the Constitution” – a discussion poised to dazzle, featuring the illustrious Prof Noranit Setabutr, the analytical Assoc Prof Bhokin Bhalakula, the insightful Asst Prof Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, the profound Pongthep Thepkanjana, and the astute Assoc Prof Vannapar Tirasangka. They’ll be charting the course of constitutional progress with the precision of cartographers mapping new worlds.
So, if you’ve got a patriotic pulse and a curiosity that never quits, clear your schedule and set a course for the new plaza. This is one democratic dalliance you won’t want to miss. Here’s to a day of revelry, debate, and the pursuit of a robust constitution—canapés included!
