Business leaders urge parliament to form a government in 1 month

[snoop1130]

 

Several of Thailand’s business leaders are expressing concern over political instability. A new government has still not been formed since the general election in May. The business community is asking for stability in politics, claiming that continuation of the current impasse could destroy the confidence of foreign investors.

 

Two months after the election it remains unclear who will become the country’s 30th prime minister, since the bicameral parliament empowers senators to join the vote for the prime minister.

 

The current political turmoil is affecting foreign investor decisions over put more money into Thailand. The Former Chairman of Joint Foreign Chamber of Commerce, Stanley Kang, emphasised the need to have a clearer picture as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, you have to form a government first to vote them out ! First business of day 1 should be the vote to oust them

Maybe if business leaders joined forces with the public and kicked out the military and demanded the senate step down immediately.

Give the president of the senate a call,  Pornpetch Wichitcholchai. Tell him your problem. See if he can help.
