“Paethongtarn” points out that using strong words is “the Cabinet is investigating the nature”

"Paetongtarn" groans after people see her as a "hereditary cabinet", saying she used harsh words, seeing family life as not a disadvantage but a driving force, asking people to be sympathetic to the young prime minister and not to sue too many, insisting that she is at the head of the table and not oppressing anyone, but is ready to listen to all parties, preparing to divide the work of deputy prime ministers. At 10:15 a.m. today (5 September), Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, gave an interview about the appointment of 6 Deputy Prime Ministers, asking how the work would be divided. She said that she had already planned who would do what. When asked if it could be disclosed, the Prime Minister said, 'Please wait a little longer. But it has been planned. I would like it to be clearer. When it is time to assign work, it will be clearer.' As for the hopes for this Cabinet and what goals they have set, the Prime Minister said that he thinks it is good and very good. Everyone is ready to continue wo rking and thinks that this is a force that we have come together to do for our brothers and sisters, the people. He wants the country to move forward. Therefore, many people are both new and old faces, and everyone is ready for this. As for whether there will be a time frame to measure KPIs in the work, the Prime Minister said, 'Not yet.' When asked if there was criticism of the appearance of the cabinet as a family succession because he did not get the position but gave it to his children, friends or relatives instead, the style might use the strong word that the cabinet is a family succession, the Prime Minister exclaimed "Wow" before saying that it was really strong, and laughed and said that the strong word was used. Actually, there are many forms and many people who are not family or related to each other, and many couples who are family. But I want you to see that it is intentional, passed down from close friends and acquaintances, because many things that have to be done require motivation, relying o n the pride of people around you, people around you. Therefore, the word "family" or something is not a disadvantage. It is more about motivation for each other. Seeing that one person does something for the country like this, another person in the family also has motivation. It is like that. When asked if the word family member was used, there was a perception of domination, and the prime minister had not yet performed his duties, but there were charges and lawsuits, Ms. Paethongtarn said, 'Have some sympathy for the prime minister. Don't sue too many. He is the youngest prime minister in history and he is determined to do his job to the fullest. So, as I said and have given interviews, sometimes don't give too much importance to small things, even lawsuits. The person suing shouldn't sue too much. There's nothing wrong with that. We have to take it slow.' When asked whether he would be nervous or worried because the prime minister is young and has to sit at the head of the table and be the chairman of man y boards by position, the prime minister said: 'Honestly, I myself think that I have received this honorable position, through the vote of the parliament. I would like to thank everyone. As the prime minister, I am not ready to oppress anyone, but I am ready to listen and respect each other. Therefore, I think that this principle will make everything go smoothly. I think so.' As for whether it will cause any impairment in work, the Prime Minister said, 'No, it's okay. Everyone has the right to criticize. If everyone thinks in their hearts that they criticize with reason and not with emotion, I think it's possible. But okay, it can happen. We just need some encouragement, that's all.' As for whether he will assign Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, to oversee security affairs and the Police Commission, the Prime Minister said that today he will look at the details a bit. He will separate the matter of the Deputy Prime Minister later and then inform us. When asked wheth er today (September 5) there will be an invitation for the Deputy Prime Minister, especially from the Pheu Thai Party, to come and discuss the division of work, the Prime Minister said that today no one has been invited to come and talk, but it is to look at the details of the job positions.- Source: Thai News Agency
