Pheu Thai warns senators to respect the voices of the people

Suthin” insists on “going far” as the leader to form a government. There is no secret deal. Proud Thai pushes “Anutin” to sit in the prime minister, reminding senators to respect the consensus of the people. I don’t believe that I’m so busy that I have to have an outsider prime minister.

Suthin Klangsaeng, Deputy Leader of Pheu Thai Party Referring to the case of Mr. Wanchai Sonsiri, the senator stated that the party that received the first election may not be a leader in forming a government Because it depends on the collection of sounds. As it happened when the 2019 election was possible according to the principle of collecting votes. But if according to democratic principles, the voice of the people must be respected. And the number 1 political party, whether MPs or senators, voting for the prime minister must listen to the voices of the people.

“The fact that Mr. Wanchai said that being the No. 1 party might not be in the government compared to 2019 is an unusable standard. Last time was a lesson that choosing a Prime Minister like that caused problems to this day, so this time is an opportunity for everyone to follow the democratic path as much as possible. Unless you can’t walk fully, let’s talk about each other, but still have to follow the democratic way. must respect the people,” Mr. Sutin said.

In the event that the senator may abstain from voting for the prime minister Will it cause problems or not? cannot be forced hold the right But believes that senators will do anything to keep the country moving forward. which today is walking on the right path As a result of the election, we have seen the will of the people. Therefore, all parts of us must follow the will of the people to achieve our goals. Any vote that distorts the intentions or causes the people’s goals to not be reached should not be made.

When asked to repeat that if The senator abstained until he could not vote for the prime minister, would it lead to an outsider prime minister? But in fact from the sound that comes out There was no reason to go that far. Because people who have been elected Still on the way to finish Probably won’t go to the Prime Minister, an outsider, even if the law allows it. If there will be chaos, it comes from the senators not following the consensus of the people. Make the senator and the people a party. Because if the senator does that, it will put the country to a dead end. But I believe that I haven’t reached that level yet.

As for some political parties, the Pheu Thai Party has the opportunity to form a government, Mr. Sutin said that every party has a chance. But the first opportunity must be the party that gets the number 1 vote. Everyone must support and encourage. let him establish However, do not run away from the voices of the people.

When asked about what conditions the Pheu Thai Party would not be able to join the government with, Mr Sutin said no. Progressive Party and happy to support fully supportive Including now not talking to other political parties because the Progressive Party has to do the coordination But if there is any case that the Progressive Party wants to help, they are welcome.

When asked about the current news, the Pheu Thai Party would talk to the Bhumjai Thai Party to push Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, the party’s leader, to become prime minister. If you do that people will not accept which is useless We want to work with a party that is accepted by the people. believe that the establishment of the government will take place in a period of 2 months, think that it will not be long, within a month should see.

Moreover, the vice president reminded that the demographic bonus is a challenge that should be handled optimally and an opportunity that should be utilized. According to Amin, several countries have succeeded in making the most of the demographic bonus and increasing their gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by up to three folds. “For Indonesia, this is a golden opportunity. We must be able to optimize the existing demographic bonuses to spur our GDP per capita. We want Indonesia to be able to enter the upper middle income country category in 2025,” he affirmed.

Vice President Amin then urged all heads of ministries and agencies and regional heads to make the 2024 development work plans (RKP) as a comprehensive guide in implementing development programs and to encourage the preparation of provincial and district and city Regional Development Work Plans (RKPD) to prioritize development goals and targets in the RKP. Furthermore, he pressed for the readiness to implement major and national strategic projects according to plan and to be accountable. The vice president reminded that the money spent on development should always have a concrete impact, and the progress should be felt by the community.

Digitalization of the financial services sector was inevitable

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Deputy of Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara stated that digitalization in economic activities, especially in the financial services sector, is something that cannot be avoided and that it will happen sooner or later.Hence, Indonesia should make various efforts to develop the financial sector, but concurrently, continue to conduct good supervision. “This is why we issued the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Law (UU P2SK),” Nazara noted during a national web seminar of the Indonesian Economist Association (ISEI) that was monitored online in Jakarta, Tuesday. The P2SK Law was designed to respond to the dynamics in the financial service industry in the form of financial sector technology innovation (ITSK), or commonly known as financial technology (fintech). Nazara said that in the making of the P2SK Law, there were challenges on how to make the law to be able to anticipate the development and supervision of financial technology in Indonesia in the future. This is because the entire world’s economy is rapidly transitioning towards digital and integrated, including the financial sector. The current trend of companies in the technology sector is toward big tech, or the United States’ technology giants, which is marked by the emergence of big-tech group conglomerates. In Indonesia, some 352 financial technology companies were recorded in 2021. The number has increased significantly from year to year, with 24 companies recorded in 2016, some 79 companies in 2017, some 178 companies in 2018, some 256 companies in 2019, and some 302 companies in 2020. “This is why we are also strengthening the supervision and development of conglomerate businesses in financial services in the P2SK Law,” he remarked. However, to avoid the risks involved in digitalization, he said the P2SK Law will also strengthen the protection of investors and consumers as well as encourage financial literacy. This is seen in a comprehensive manner along with the development of all financial services sectors, such as banking, non-banking, capital markets, financial institutions, and ventures, to the carbon market that will soon be present in Indonesia.
