A tearful and visibly emotional Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra expressed her deep sorrow on October 1, following a devastating fire that engulfed a school bus, resulting in multiple injuries and fatalities.

 

The tragic incident involved a bus carrying kindergarten students from Uthai Thani Province. Upon completing a press conference detailing the latest Cabinet meeting outcomes, Prime Minister Paetongtarn was briefed on the incident just before departing for Pak Kret District in Nonthaburi to oversee water management projects at the Royal Irrigation Department. As she descended from Command Building 1, reporters inquired if she had been informed about the tragic fire.

 

The Prime Minister, deeply affected, did not verbally respond but nodded and was seen crying as she walked towards the Thai Khu Fah Building.

 

In response to the tragedy, Prime Minister Paetongtarn has promptly dispatched key officials to the scene. Those dispatched include Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Suriya Juangroongruangkit, and Deputy Minister of Interior Sabida Thaichet, who hails from Uthai Thani, the home province of the affected children.

The immediate government priority is to offer full support and condolences to the families affected and provide necessary medical and emotional support to those injured. Prime Minister Paetongtarn has also called for a comprehensive investigation to determine the cause of the fire and to implement measures to prevent such tragedies in the future, reported Pattaya Mail.

 

As the nation mourns, Prime Minister Paetongtarn's visible grief underscores the severity of the incident and its deep impact on the entire country. The government's swift response aims to provide solace and support during this tragic time while reaffirming its commitment to the safety of all citizens, especially children.

If you can not make a verbal and correct response as a PM, then you have nothing to do at that position. Resign!

Kid, don't forget that your father killed 2873 Thai citizens during the "war on drugs" many were totally innocent, did it help anything with the drugs?   it didn't because one can't stop drug abuse. It's just a waste of money, many countries has realized this and acting accordingly, so you can stop crying.
