FORMER MOVE FORWARD leader Pita Limjaroenrat today (Feb.10) suggested the Pheu Thai-led government prepare and apply Plan B in place of the much-heralded, highly contentious digital wallet project.

 

Pita advised the government to put Plan B to work if the populist handout campaign, the implementation of which has already been postponed beyond May, finally fizzles out.

 

Without elaborating, Pita said the bottom-up economics be applied to all parts of the country rather than the top-down approach which the government has apparently put forward.

 

Since late last year, the national economy has slowed down despite an increase in foreign tourist arrivals whilst spending of the public sector and export volumes have declined, according to the former Move Forward leader.

The newly self-elected government is continuing Prayuts regime... they haven't a clue what to do.

The 10,000 baht money for jam sling! Will they or won't they???

Pita should allow  Phu Thai drown in their own mess regarding the voters bribe payment they promised that looks doomed. 

Don't suggest ways to let them off the hook.

Wrong advice, Pita is supposed to work for the people, not to let Pheu Thai off the hook.

Agreed. Also, there is very little chance the PTP and the alliance are going to go with anything MFP thinks is good.  Therefore it shows the difference.
