On January 31, Mr. Krisada Tan Therdtit, MP Nong Khai, former deputy secretary-general of the Federation of Thai Industries The Pheu Thai Economic Working Group said it was extremely nervous when reading an article in Nikkei Asia, Japan’s main media outlet, William Psek’s “Disastrous Thai Economy, Slow Motion” columnist. The famous Nist has a history of warning the economies of countries in the past. And have written to Thailand many times, which is true all along The warning is alarming, warning that the Thai economy is under the visionary leadership of General Prayut Chan-ocha, Prime Minister of Defense and the head of the economic team. Will cause the Thai economy to collapse for another 10 years after having collapsed before It was like reiterating the “Kob Tom Theory” that Mr. Pichai Naripthaphan, Deputy Leader of the Pheu Thai Party for Economic Affairs, had warned for many years, but instead was prosecuted by the NCPO led by General Prayut. Have studied the article and revised the concept
In this regard, the article reinforces the matter Pheu Thai’s Economic Working Group has already warned of several issues, such as speeding up the creation of a large tech company, known as the unicorn. Speeding up the unemployment problem Country platform adjustment To have a vision to plan the country in the future Which General Prayut doesn’t seem to understand or may not have knowledge
In addition, Thailand is also facing a serious corruption problem. The Thai collection index fell 3 places in CPI 2020, gaining 36 points. Bribery, gambling and smuggling of workers That is a problem of new virus transmission as well This makes Thailand ranked 104th out of 180 countries around the world, falling 3 places, with Thailand ranked 101 in 2019 with 36 points out of 100 points, while ranking in ASEAN, Thailand is 5 equal to Vietnam. The IMD’s referenced by General Prayut also dropped four points from 45 to 41, indicating a much worsening of the corruption problem.
He would like General Prayut to consider 19 matters proposed by the Pheu Thai Economic Working Group. Because there is still a network of workers Came out to collect 5 thousand baht all-round remedies And to cut the army budget As demanded by the Pheu Thai Economic Working Group, the government still does not recognize the importance of insured workers under Section 33 and therefore has to be blamed and demanded to have just thought of remedies.
However, Pheu Thai’s economic working group I would like to call on General Prayut to help SMEs through the coronavirus crisis. By adjusting the total amount of 9 hundred billion baht from the Bank of Thailand to help all SMEs by easing lending conditions. In which the state has to guarantee bad debt and if this is not enough, it has to increase the credit limit.
He also wanted General Prayut to accelerate the adjustment of the budget from the 250,000 new employment program that the government had bragged when adjusting the new Cabinet but did not do it. It is provided as financial support for SMEs to maintain employment at least 50% of their salary to prevent unemployment. And if necessary, it should increase the credit limit to solve the problematic unemployment problem. However, if a comprehensive vaccination can be managed quickly Will not have to support for long
He also wanted to help reduce public expenses by bringing free water supply, free electricity (in limited quantities), free buses, free trains that the People’s Power Party government had made. In order to reduce the cost of people who are in great difficulty
I want to accelerate the unlocking of Downs in order to do business normally and I want to open schools and universities. For students And students will be able to study knowledge effectively There is evidence that viral infection in children and young people The quantity is very small, and the mortality rate for children and young people is almost nonexistent.
All of this He wants General Prayut to adjust his thinking and think ahead before the problem arises. In order to lead Thailand to develop further If General Prayut realizes that he lacks the knowledge and abilities to develop a conceptual framework Should not be in a position to stall the prosperity of the country any longer Because it will make Thailand decline for another 10 years according to foreign media warnings
