Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has requested an extension for submitting her asset and liability declaration to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), citing the need for a thorough review as the primary reason.

 

The deadline, originally set for November 5, has placed time constraints on the Prime Minister, necessitating additional care in compiling the information.

 

In her request to the NACC, Paetongtarn emphasised the importance of accuracy and diligence in the declaration process. Her family is reportedly assisting her in ensuring that all details are correctly documented and submitted in due course.

 

The Prime Minister reassured the public and authorities that the necessary steps are being taken to meet the required transparency standards.

 

However, when questioned about the transfer or sale of financial shares to her mother and sister, Thailand's Prime Minister was less forthcoming.

 

She opted not to provide specific answers, instead indicating that her husband and sister were in charge of the legalities surrounding the shares and would divulge details at a later stage.

 

The lack of clarity on the stock transfer issue has raised eyebrows among political commentators and the public. Concerns have been expressed about the implications of such financial manoeuvres and their alignment with transparency principles.

 

Yet, the Prime Minister maintains her commitment to complying with the rules and regulations set forth by the NACC, aiming to complete the declaration with due diligence.

 

The situation has sparked discussions about the transparency of leaders in managing personal and family assets while holding public office. Paetongtarn's request for an extension highlights the challenges faced by officials in balancing personal financial affairs alongside their public duties.

 

As the deadline extension is reviewed, all eyes are on the upcoming detailed declaration and any additional insights it may bring about the Prime Minister's financial dealings, reported Pattaya Mail.

You were given a deadline, if other people are given a deadline by your administration, will it be granted? Another black mark on your integrity, as if there is any in the Thaksin Criminal Party.

I guess the gardener and cleaning staff need their bank accounts sorted first.

Come on guys... Give her a break... She needs time to hide dealings that Dad used hiding money with her as well as any money she has been hiding herself. She may not know all the Ass-ets she really has either. She needs time to learn about them so she can display it in a good light.

It seems that all high ranked people don't have a clue what their assets are and how much money they have... There is time enough to look into their books and count their jewellery and watches and cars I believe.. But they need more time to hide things or so... I know what my assets are and how much money I have in a few hours or even minutes.... but  I have nothing to hide

[Geoffggi]

Just needs more time to better hide or transfer her assets

Maybe she needs some more time to shift shares that Daddy gave her in the past to hide his shady dealings?

[sherwood]

She hasn't got a clue.

Thailand at a standstill as usual.

This should not be the only agency to review A&L. The SEC and Department of Revenue should also be in the review. It's more than a matter of "unusual wealth" but how it was kept and/or disbursed.

Why the need for the extension its just delaying tactics does she have to hide away some of Pappas  baht

Seems to ring a bell that 2 party leaders got banned for not having totally removed all traces of long since defunct shares in no longer operating media companies. 

 

Three months delay on something that her family 'minders' should have already had all nicely tied up.

Or soaps in the shower.

Didn't she come from some sort of media career? (My doctor ordered me not to follow Thai politics closely). Surely she has some bits of stock etc floating about which should disqualify her like the hatchet job they did on Pita. And let us not forget the one that got the sack for having a cooking show.

Agree on your initial points but not re the cooking show. He was spending way too much time (shopping for raw materials, planning, recording etc., when he should have been attending to the affairs of state. (Plus there was much comment that the dishes he cooked were very day Thai items nothing special.)
