'Thaksin' points out that 'Paethongtarn' has the same DNA, hoping to be the prime minister who can lead the economy. No need for intensive tutoring, but help each other think. Admits to being concerned, emphasizes that digital wallets are important, as the heart of stimulating the economy. Sees that it needs to be injected quickly. Asked if she is still excited, but personally, she is excited all the time. Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra spoke about the 10,000 baht digital wallet project, whether there will be any policy adjustments after there is a new Prime Minister, saying that the Prime Minister and the economic sector are currently discussing the approach, which is that the necessity to stimulate the economy is certain, and it must be done quickly, not slowly, because the economy is falling. The more it falls, the harder it is to pull it back up. Right now, they are planning. After they are able to work, they will probably give orders immediately. When asked whether Thaksin would continue thi s project, he said that there are three things about digital wallets: Stimulating the economy, which is a key factor that must be done Giving people the opportunity to learn about technology so that they can use it for future opportunities, which must continue, but the urgency can wait. In the future, when the digital wallet project is in place, it will be useful for the people and the country, allowing the people and the government to connect economically and provide a channel for the people to use for business purposes through the digital wallet project, which is a matter of technique that must continue. Issue 2 and 3 can wait, but issue 1 cannot. As for the format, it can be based on technology or not, but it must be legal and not conflict with people who have different opinions too much. When asked if the project may change but the injection will remain the same, Mr. Thaksin said that there will be an injection as he saw the Prime Minister discuss with the budget department, which should be done. Wh en asked whether he would help with the economic issue, Thaksin said he would give advice, but the decision was up to the prime minister and the cabinet. When asked whether changing to handing out cash would better meet the needs of the people, Mr Thaksin said that the advantage of handing out cash is that it is fast, but the disadvantage is that he is afraid that it will not be used to stimulate the economy to its full potential. When asked if Ms. Paethongtarn had anything special to be careful of, Mr. Thaksin said that what she had to be careful of was the country's problems that were piling up. They were big problems, serious problems. The economy was no joke. The people were in great trouble. Today, the underground economy is half of the above-ground economy, which has never happened before. It shows that legal opportunities to make a living have been closed for a long time. So people have gone underground. Today, the underground economy is big. Online gambling is 500,000 million baht per year. When as ked if Ms. Paethongtarn is the leader of the government, but many people think that she may not be up to the role of economic leader, how confident is he in Ms. Paethongtarn? Mr. Thaksin said that they have the same DNA. I hope that it will be possible. When asked if he would need special tutoring in economics, Mr Thaksin said that they would have to think together because it was not a matter of one person thinking. Working as a team was necessary. However, he admitted that he was concerned and gave the example of the Olympics where Thailand won medals only in individual sports but not in team sports. When asked if the prime minister normally has to be the head of the economic team himself, Mr. Thaksin immediately replied that of course, but there must be someone to help. Ms. Paethongtarn emphasized teamwork. The party also works as a team, so many people from the party were brought in to help. When asked if Ms. Paethongtarn has been prime minister for 2-3 days now, is she no longer excited? Mr. Thaksin sa id that you have to ask her, but he is excited all the time. Source: Thai News Agency
