The registration for the government s relief aid for people without smart phones or internet access was a resounding success if success means turning everyone involved into a loser.
Actually, the process was shameful and a complete mockery of the scheme s auspicious title, Rao Chana or We Win .
Who wins when the first day of the registration is described as havoc ?
Images showing large crowds waiting outside designated facilities, mainly branches of state-owned Krungthai Bank yesterday when the registration began were evidence of the state s inefficiency.
The failure was perfectly captured in a video showing an old woman crying because she could not complete the registration process while being scolded by bank staff.
