Shinawatra Legacy: Paetongtarn's Fresh Approach as PM
Paetongtarn Shinawatra. File photo NEWS FEATURE Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thailand's new Prime Minister at 37, is carving her own path in Thai politics, continuing the Shinawatra family's legacy while injecting fresh dynamism into her role. As the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin and niece of the country's first female Premier Yingluck, the expectations were colossal. Yet, within six months of assuming office, Paetongtarn has emerged as a figure of steady resolve and innovative leadership. Following the Constitutional Court's removal of her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, due to legal controversies, Paetongtarn stepped into the role with a strong mandate, approved by the House of Representatives last August. Her leadership style, marked by pragmatic decision-making and clear vision, has already secured her a spot on Forbes' "100 World's Most Powerful Women 2024", placing her third in Asia. One of her significant challenges has been responding to the recent severe floods. Her government's agile and compassionate handling of the crisis has garnered praise, highlighting her capacity to balance empathy with action. Alongside disaster management, Paetongtarn has supported policies initiated by her predecessor, ensuring continuity in government initiatives such as the popular 10,000-baht cash handout scheme (approximately £228), aimed at boosting economic stability. She has also acted decisively in tackling transnational crime, with economic sanctions against human trafficking networks on the Thai-Myanmar border. This bold move has strengthened Thailand's international relations, notably enhancing ties with China, which praised her government's robust anti-scamming efforts. Remarkably, Paetongtarn has managed to juggle her demanding political role while being a mother to two children—demonstrating her ability to balance personal and professional obligations seamlessly. Her prioritisation of initiatives targeting economic growth and social equality, such as the 30-baht healthcare programme and a three-year debt relief for farmers, underscores her commitment to inclusive development. As a "Gen-Y" leader, Paetongtarn prides herself on data-driven and legally sound policymaking, striving to bridge traditional politics with modern governance techniques. Her approach focuses on pragmatic reforms aimed at unifying Thailand's diverse demographic base. The journey ahead for Paetongtarn is not without challenges; divisive issues remain which demand nuanced approaches. Nonetheless, her initial months have set a promising precedent for innovative leadership, potentially transforming her into a unifying figure capable of steering Thailand towards a prosperous future. In doing so, she strives to refine and redefine her family's political narrative, truly making the Shinawatra name her own, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-10
