PM satisfied with public response to co-payment scheme

Cr.Prayut Chan-o-cha

 

 

Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is satisfied with overwhelming public response to the government’s 50:50 co-payment scheme and has instructed the Finance Ministry to roll out a similar package as a New Year’s gift to the Thai people, said Government Spokesman Mr. Anucha Burapachaisri today (Saturday).

 

He said that the scheme has met the government’s target of boosting the purchasing power of Thai consumers, albeit for a short period, at a time when many of them are experiencing hardship from the economic impacts of COVID-19, with manylosing their jobs or having to accept pay cuts for the survival of their employers’ businesses.

 

The spending by consumers has helped many medium and small entrepreneurs, such as hawkers and convenience stores.

A New Year's gift from the government for the Thai people, paid by the Thai people.

How about a New Year's gift from your own coffers, Mr. Prayut? Come on, daring you to show how much you really care...

I think the Hero General PM is satisfied with where his money currently is.
