A group of activists calling themselves the Green Group lodged a petition with the National Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday accusing Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Justice Minister Pracha Promnok of criminally mishandling the flood crisis.

The petition said that Yingluck and Pracha, as chief of the Flood Relief Operations Centre, had committed malfeasance and did not do their duty, which caused grievances to others.

Meanwhile, the Central Administrative Court will make a decision on Tuesday about a complaint lodged by the public against FROC and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) calling for an injunction ordering the salvation of Route 340 to be stopped.

Bangkok governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra said he was not worried about the complaint because he and the BMA had made no mistakes in handling the floods, though Sanya Cheewanit, chief of the drainage operations, said he was discouraged by the complaint.

Three of the Nonthaburi complainants said that salvaging Route 340 should be stopped immediately and instead it should be used to serve as a channel to drain Bang Bua Thong district more quickly.

A survey conducted by Abac showed that the public looked upon soldiers as their saviours and were the least happy with lawmakers and local politicians.

Soldiers won 98.3 per cent approval from 1,087 people surveyed across the country between Tuesday and Thursday, while Thais working to boost morale won 98.2 per cent and volunteers and donors 96.6 per cent.

When asked who they were least impressed with, 51.8 per cent of the respondents chose MPs and local politicians; 64.3 went for FROC; and 67.7 said Yingluck.

In response to whether the capital city should be relocated, 60.4 per cent said no, though 27.8 per cent said yes and proposed Nakhon Ratchasima as an option.
