News agency Reuters has shared a video that shows Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha spraying sanitizer on journalists after he was irked by their questions at a press conference.
He was interacting with reporters at the Government House in Bangkok when walked towards reporters, sprayed on their faces before walking away.
The retired army general, who has been in power since a 2014 military coup, has had similar angry moments earlier as well. Refusing to talk to the press in 2018 where he unveiled a life-sized cut-out of himself, he had asked reporters to ask their questions to the cut-out. “Ask this guy,” he had said pointing to the picture.
