On 24th November 2024, at Thammasat University's main auditorium in Tha Prachan, Sondhi Limthongkul, founder of Manager Media Group and host of Sondhi Talk, discussed his political stance during the “Truth for the Nation” event.

 

The fourth instalment of this series focused on critical national issues such as sovereignty loss, MOU 44, WHO’s new agreements, and their potential impacts on Thailand.

 

Sondhi concluded the event, highlighting the country’s persistent issues over the past decade, regardless of political or military governments. He criticised the ongoing judicial failures and urged the public to demand change.

 

Sondhi cited examples like the unsolved issues in Thailand’s southern provinces, fraudulent activities, and the Khao Kradong land dispute, which revealed discrepancies between court rulings and government statements.

 

He questioned the integrity of Thailand’s justice system and called for collective efforts to address the nation’s challenges.

 

Touching on the political landscape, Sondhi observed conflicts between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai parties, notably over the Khao Kradong case, hinting at links to the Alpine Golf Club dispute.

 

He criticised the lack of genuine leadership and the prevalence of self-serving politicians, describing the system as corrupt and open to exploitation by individuals with financial or dubious backgrounds.

 

Regarding possible protests, Sondhi remained non-committal but expressed willingness to take to the streets if necessary, even if it meant his final protest.

 

He noted that public frustration was nearing a tipping point, but political dynamics among MPs and senators seemed tightly controlled, leaving little hope for immediate change.

 

When asked about Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s openness to dialogue, Sondhi confirmed plans to meet her.

 

He intends to present detailed grievances and seek clear answers on pressing national issues, emphasising that such discussions must serve as the starting point for substantial reform, reported Siam Rath.

Not too sure about that, he has quite a following of people who are interested in real change for the betterment of Thailand.
