Thailand’s political stalemate came to a close yesterday as property tycoon Srettha Thavisin was elected as the country’s 30th prime minister following a majority vote in both houses of Parliament.

 

Now, the nation’s business community is urging the newly appointed leader to hasten the process of organising his government. The aim is to promptly address a sequence of pressing challenges such as fragile exports, an impending drought crisis, and the ongoing economic recovery.

 

Kriengkrai Thiennukul, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), expressed the need for the newly elected Srettha’s Cabinet to begin work immediately. The goal is to rejuvenate and expand the Thai economy which has been under the limited power of the outgoing PM Prayut Chan-o-cha Cabinet since the announcement of House dissolution in March.

 

Referring to the Move Forward Party’s failure to secure approval for a prime minister within the coalition government during parliamentary sessions in July, Kriengkrai, highlighted the necessity of a new government to stimulate the country’s economy.


“We hope any political problems will end now.”

Hmmm...yes. Good idea.

 

1. Make us old rich tycoons richer. ✔️

 

2. Keep the 69 million poor serfs poor...but fake 'em out with a pittance and a bunch of false promises. ✔️

 

WOW...This job is EASY
