As the flooding threat against Bangkok increased, discontent with the government response has mounted. The government has been criticized for underestimating the extent of flooding, giving mixed or conflicting information, and not giving adequate warnings.[citation needed] Failure of government units to share data and cooperate have been reported as contributing to the problem.[citation needed] Administers of the FROC and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration have been criticized for playing politics and refusing to cooperate at the expense of the general population.
