Sukhumbhand fails to impress Bangkokians: survey

Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra's performance during the past three years has failed to impress the majority of city residents, according to a recent survey.

Conducted by Bangkok University's Bangkok Poll between January 12 and January 16, 60.8 per cent of respondents said they did not see Sukhumbhand deliver any impressive result.

The survey covered 1,117 Bangkok residents. All of them were over 18 years of age.

Out of possible 10 points, Sukhumbhand scored just 6.15 in the overall performance as the city governor in the latest survey. It was a 2.1percent drop in score given six months ago for his performance when his tenure reached two and a half years.

His greatest strength, according to the latest survey, was his diligence. On this quality, Sukhumbhand scored 6.6 out of the possible 10 points. His lowest score, by indicators, was in the field of creativity. He scored just 5.78 points there.
