webfact Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The implementation of the controversial 10,000-baht digital wallet scheme was defended yesterday by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. This came following a statement by Move Forward Party Deputy Leader Sirikanya Tansakul, suggesting the government develop a backup plan due to the scheme’s uncertain future. Tansakul pointed out that the scheme’s success hinges on the decision of the government’s digital wallet policy committee, which is scheduled to meet on Thursday. “If the government truly wants to see the economy recover, it needs a backup plan as the fate of the country cannot hinge on just one policy the 10,000-baht digital handout.” Tansakul further urged the government to expedite the inclusion of the digital wallet policy in the annual budget expenditure plan. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of เศรษฐา ทวีสิน - Srettha Thavisin (Facebook) Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-13 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post jippytum Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 This scheme to bribe voters is doomed. The prime minister is trying to avoid another uturn. Fancy restricting people to spend the money at local shops like tesco and 7/11 owned by Thai billionaires instead of allowing the poorest people to reduce dept by paying outstanding bills if they wished to do so. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
