The last day of the parliamentary meeting to consider the 2015 budget was boiling.

The last day of the House of Representatives meeting to consider the draft of the 2025 budget bill, the People's Party MPs proposed cutting the budgets of several ministries, but in the end it was in accordance with the majority of the committee, while the government whip is confident in the votes of approval. The House of Representatives meeting considered the draft bill on the annual budget for fiscal year 2025, with a budget of 3.75 trillion baht, a reduction of more than 7,824 million baht, the second reading is the third day, starting with Section 25, the budget for the Ministry of Public Health. It is noticeable that the debate of the MPs of the People's Party is the same, a small no-confidence debate, even though in the end the majority agreed with the committee's amendments, but many projects were also exposed. Mr. Sahasawat Khumkhong, Chonburi MP of the Prachachon Party, proposed reducing the budget of the Ministry of Public Health for going to World Expo Osaka and doing roadshows because the ones who benefit are private hospitals. He also believes that the budget allocation is still inappropriate and there is still a shortage of medical personnel. The debate on this section became heated when Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, former Minister of Public Health, was mentioned when the Prachachon Party MP stated that he had sent them complaints about the people's hardships but they did not accept them. This caused Mr. Srisutpong Kewkong, MP for Krabi, and his party members to rise up and protest. After that, Mr. Anutin and MPs from the Bhumjaithai Party issued a statement confirming that they had never known Mr. Prasertpong. Therefore, they asked that they be careful with their words and should have ethics and speak the truth. While the budget of the Ministry of Industry, the opposition proposed a reduction in the soft power projects of the Department of Industrial Promotion, 6 projects, worth over 762 million baht, divided into food and fashion projects, it was found that the cost of catering food and drinks fo r training was 289 million baht, or 60% of the project, and there were also expenses for attending workshops to present content and hiring influencers to join in creating content at a high cost. The debate became heated again when MPs from the People's Power Party debated cutting the budget for the Senate Secretariat, which had received a 10% increase in budget while the number of senators had decreased, and used redundant budgets that did not meet its objectives. They also proposed cutting the budget for the House Secretariat, especially for food expenses for members, which were provided for every meal on meeting days, and which overlapped with the committee meetings. This got so heated that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives responded himself. In the morning, it was noticeable that Ms. Thirarat Samretwanich, MP for Bangkok, Pheu Thai Party and Deputy Minister of Interior, came to the meeting with a sad expression and sat crying in the meeting room, causing Mr. Chulaphan Amornvivat, a group of MPs from Pheu Thai Party and Bhumjaithai Party, to come and give her support at her chair. It is known that Ms. Thirarat lost her father. In the morning, Ms. Thirarat posted her condolences for her father on Instagram, stating that 'A-Jek is the best. Come and stay with A-Jek before traveling far.' As for the time frame of the meeting, the government whip still confirmed that the vote should be around 9:00 p.m. and is confident in the government's voice to give its approval so that the government can move forward with its work, which will have a policy statement to the parliament on September 12 and 13.
