Thai Enquirer Summary
Political News
The Opposition is set to use a general debate without a vote scheduled this Wednesday (September 9), to pressure embattled Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to step down.
Ahead of the general debate in the House of Representatives tomorrow, the Pheu Thai Party announced that it is targeting embattled Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha during the debate.
Pheu Thai MP for Nan province Cholnan Srikaew said opposition MPs would question the government on its Failure to solve economic problems Political crises and pressing issues like problems in agriculture, with Gen Prayut being their prime target.
The opposition has set Gen Prayut as the prime target of this general debate. During the debate, it will push for Gen Prayut to resign to unlock all problems, Cholnan said, adding that the resignation proposal is not extreme at all as allowed by the Constitution.
Once a prime minister steps down, the entire cabinet will have to be remove, paving the way for a new prime minister in the list of nominees for prime minister to move up, the Pheu Thai MP said, adding that Gen Prayut is perceived as the cause of all problems facing the country at the moment.
It was tentatively agreed at the meeting that the opposition would be given 10 hours to debate and the government MPs and cabinet ministers 5 hours to answer questions. Pheu Thai has prepares 11-12 of its MPs to debate under the allocated time of 310 minute.
Separately, Deputy Finance Minister Santi Promphat is another target of Pheu Thai following reports that surfaced about Santi’s dubious educational background.
Santi’s educational background became a contentious issue after Pheu Thai MP for Mahasarakham Yutthapong Charasathien came out to seek Santi’s explanation why Ramkhamhaeng University ordered Santi’s name to be removed from its students’ registration list on August 4, 1999.
Yutthapong went on to say the university’s order is a punishment for Santi after it found out that Santi assigned someone to sit in an exam for him, faking student ID card and a driver licence for him.
The Pheu Thai MP claimed that Santi has never completed a Bachelor’s degree after committing serious violations of the university and this violated Section 160 of the constitution which states that a minister must have at least a bachelor’s degree.
In addition, Yutthapong said he will unveil the real reason for Predee Daochai’s decision to resign as finance minister. The Pheu Thai MP hinted that Predee’s resignation had to do with the Mo Chit-Khu Khot Green Line MRT project following Santi’s push to propose an extension of the operating concession for
another 40 years for BTS Group Holdings (BTS) despite the remaining 10 years which will end in 2029 from the original contract. The Pheu Thai MP claimed that former finance minister Uttama Savanayana already withdrew the Green Line extension from the cabinet in fear of unlawful side of the move. However, Santi is persistent with his push to extend the operating concession for another 40 years. This is the reason that pushed Predee to resign, Yutthapong claimed, saying that he will seek Santi’s explanation over the issue.
Political pundits are already saying that the ongoing backing by Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha is an indication of how Gen. Prayut is now a lame duck Prime Minister. The situation is like that of Yingluck Shinawatra when she kept on backing out on the various issues during the 2013/2014 protest movement before a coup that ousted her.
He has backed out on
The planned amendment of the constitution
The plans to set up a committee to look at the issues to be amended in the charter
The planned procurement of the 22.5 billion baht of 2 submarines from China
The re-opening of the case against Vorayut ‘Boss’ Yoovidhya after public outcry
Then the latest is the release of Mike and Anon from prison after daily protests by the students in-front of the Central Prison
There are reports that senators are now split into 3 groups over the issue of charter amendments.
The first group is a group of around 100 senators who are undecided over the issue. This group comprises former military, police officials and former members of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA).
The second group is those who fully support the government and opposition’s motions seeking charter amendments to reduce conflict in the country. This group comprises around 20-30 senators including Wanchai Sornsiri, Kamnoon Sitthisamarn and senators based in the northeast.
The third group is a group of 60 independent senators who came out to oppose the proposal for a new constitutional drafting assembly (CDA) that is proposed to be drawn up from a direct election of various groups of people.
The group of 60 senators which called themselves “independent senators”, most of whom are civilians, came out to oppose the idea of having a new CDA, saying that they fear that a new CDA to draw up a new charter would be manipulated by politicians, stemming widening conflict in society.
Among prominent members of this group are Direkrit Jenkrongtham, Somchai Sawaengkarn, Kobkul Arpakorn Na Ayutthaya for instance. The group has reportedly set up a Line chat group to discuss charter amendments and voiced support for a proposal seeking to amend Section 272 of the constitution, in order to remove the Senate’s power to choose a prime minister, one of the 60 senators, Kittisak Rattanawaraha, disclosed.
Kittisak said his group would meet today (September 8) to discuss the issue.
Despite the group’s support behind charter changes with certain conditions, some academics came out to cast doubts on whether they might have a hidden agenda behind their move as this third group wanted the charter to be reviewed section by section, rather than allowing a CDA to be formed to write a new one.
Yuttaporn Issarachai, a political scientist at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, said it appeared that the senators had agreed to back off on charter amendment issues but their demand for the charter to be reviewed section by
section, rather than allowing a CDA to be formed to write a new one, raised doubt on their real intention.
The Senate is set to hold a meeting on September 24 to allow senators to vote on the charter amendment issue independently.
Two political activists Arnon Nampa and Phanuphong Chadnok were released yesterday (September 7) by the Criminal Court after 5 days in Bangkok Remand Prison after police withdrew a request for their detention.
Arnon and Phanuphong were detained on August 7 and charged with sedition, violating the emergency decree’s ban on gatherings and other offences, for participating at a July 18 rally at Democracy Monument. The pair were released on bail the next day, but then jailed on September 3 after the court ruled they had broken bail conditions by continuing to attend and organise rallies.
Arnon was permitted to reapply for bail and Phanuphong to pay 200,000 baht surety for his release, but both refused the conditions after local and international rights groups demanded their release and called on the government to respect people’s rights to protest peacefully.

A major public forum called “A way out of Thailand’s political crisis” is set to be held at Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao at 14.00 hrs today (September 8).
The forum will be attended by keynote speakers including former speakers of both Houses like former Senate speaker and 3-time House speaker Uthai Pimchaichon, 2 former Senate speakers Suchon Chaleekrua and Nikhom Wairatpanich as well as Vivatanachai Na Kalasin, former Kalasin MP and former head of the Secretariat of the House of Representatives.
The forum will be used to compile ideas on possible solutions to current political impasse by these keynote speakers who will speak from their past political experience under several governments amid anti-government protests that escalated across at least 60 provinces nationwide, reflecting an urgent need for an exit way to the current crisis.
Meanwhile former House Speaker and Rangsit University rector Arthit Ourairat took to his Facebook page to say the country has reached a dead-end and the government should realise this truth before asserting that there must not be another coup.
He said it is now the time for embattled Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to make a sacrifice by stepping down, to pave the way for the appointment of an “outsider” prime minister as allowed by Section 272 of the constitution.
He said the only way to get out of the country’s crisis is to have a “professional” government being formed to promote reconciliation with former prime minister Anand Panyarachun being installed as prime minister to reform the country,
revive the economy and rewrite the charter under a constitutional monarchy within 2-years.
Earlier, army chief Gen Apirat Kongsompong came out to dismiss rumours of a coup d’etat amid speculation that is rife following the spokesman of the opposition Move Forward Party’s warning of a possible military intervention. Gen Apirat said public sentiment has changed.
Gen Apirat reportedly said “Don’t worry. It will never happen again,” when asked about a planned major rally by students and activists scheduled for September 19.
Meanwhile more rallies are planned as deadline to September 19 approaches as follows:
All eyes are on who would be the next in line to take over as deputy national police chiefs as the next meeting of the police board is scheduled for September 10 to make decisions on the post. The police board meeting chaired by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-
cha is expected to select new deputy national police chiefs to replace Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk who will be the next police commissioner and Pol Gen Wirachai Songmetta who has been removed from his post as the deputy national police chief.
Pol Gen Wirachai has been stripped him of his police general rank at the request of the Secretariat of the Cabinet due to serious disciplinary violations, according to an announcement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office yesterday (September 7).
Gen Prayut is said to sign an order to remove Pol Gen Wirachai since August 31. Wirachai’s removal took effect on July 29 but it is unclear why the announcement was only made public yesterday, a week after Gen Prayut’s order was made.
The police board’s meeting this week is set to consider a reshuffle of senior police officers to fill in 5 vacant posts after Wirachai was stripped off his police rank. The police board is expected to propose Pol Lt Gen Piya Uthayo, assistant police chief, as new deputy police chief whilst Pol Lt Gen Thana Choowong, commander of the Provincial Police Region 7, is tipped to replace Pol Lt Gen Piya as new assistant police chief.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) decided to bring 2 charges against Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) MP for Ratchaburi Pareena Kraikupt; one is intentionally filing a false asset declaration and the other on the forest encroachment.
On the forest encroachment allegation, the NACC decided the alleged crime had not been committed in her capacity as a state official (MP) but as a person. It already dismissed the case filed by natural resources and environment police.
The NACC is considering whether she intentionally and seriously violated the code of ethics.
The bigger issue is that there are other MPs from other parties apart from Phalang Pracharat party and includes members of the Senate who have land that can be considered to be ‘false deceleration’ of asset by the NACC
But all that depends on the decision by the NACC which is set to hear Pareena’s reasoning today.
Economic News
Former Finance Minister Sommai Phasee, under Prayut govt in 2014/2015 (soon after the coup) came out to give advice to the government on how to reduce economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the foremost measures, Sommai said, is a value-added tax increase (VAT plan. The ex-finance minister suggested raising the VAT rate to 9 per cent from 7 per cent at present. By raising VAT rate by 2 per cent will add 120 billion baht to the government’ coffers which to be used to solve problems stemming from the outbreak and revive the economy. Sommai warned that borrowing alone will cause the government to face fiscal problems soon, predicting that the country’s average ratio of public debt-to-GDP will exceed 60 per cent by 2021.
“In January 2021, the government must raise VAT or it will face doom because government coffers are running out of money. It shouldn’t be that the government is afraid of a VAT tax hike because it is worried of losing voter base. At the moment, the government is not popular with anyone,” Sommai said.
He further suggested cuts in regular government expenses such as the salaries of state officials and state enterprises’ workers, citing the number of officials at state
agencies and state enterprises outnumber the amount of work. He cited the private sector’ move to lay off workers by at least 25 per cent in the wake of COVID-19.
Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is said to send back the Ministry of Tourism and Sports’s “Phuket Model” for revision. The Phuket Model, a new model to reopen Phuket to foreign tourists which was proposed by Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn was rejected by Gen Prayut despite being approved in principle by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and the cabinet on August 25.
Gen Prayut is said to tell the Tourism and Sports Minister to lay down a more stringent entry criteria after Thailand detected a case of local transmission in a prison screening facility last week.
The Prime Minister is said to disapprove of the name “Phuket Model”.
Government Housing Bank (GHB) plans to launch 10 billion baht worth of home loans for low-income earners under the name “Two Gen’s”.
Chatchai Sirilai, GHB’s president and chief executive, said the scheme will be submitted to the new finance minister and the Bank of Thailand and GSB’s board of directors for approval.
Once approved, Chatchai said the bank expects to kick off its loan applications within the fourth quarter of this year. Instead of a typical loan term of 30-40 years, this scheme offers a loan term of 70 years, the GHB president said.
The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has plans to gradually implement additional measures to provide assistance to retail debtors struggling in the fallout of Covid-19 have applied for the second-phase of debt relief program.
According to the BoT, 7.2 trillion baht has been spent on providing financial relief to 12.52 million borrowers as of the end of July. Of this, 4.25 trillion baht was provided by commercial banks and non-banking entities to ease the burden for 6.12 million borrowers.
Ronadol Numnonda, the BoT’s deputy governor overseeing financial institution stability, said he expected lesser number of debtors to opt in for relief measures in the second phase after a slew of financial relief includes debt moratorium, debt restructuring, interest rate cuts, refinancing and new soft loans offered in the first phase.
Separately, the Bank of Thailand (BoT) came out to criticise commercial banks of not doing enough to respond to its relief measure by cutting their customer fees and easing loan conditions.
The central bank said it is monitoring how banks respond to its relief measure after allowing them to reduce contribution to the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF). Banks have been allowed to halve their FIDI contributions from 0.46 per cent to 0.23 per cent of their deposit base for 2 years, this year and next year.
Ronadol Numnonda, the BoT’s deputy governor, said the central bank wants to know if banks share this benefit with customers followed the contribution cut, adding that some banks have room to do more.
Tisco Securities Plc forecast that 7 commercial banks’ combined net profit for 2020 would fall by 27.8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to 130.588 billion baht, compared with 184.804 billion baht in the previous year.
The seven are Bangkok Bank (BBL), Krungthai Bank (KTB), Bank of Ayudhya (BAY), Kiatnakin Bank (KKP), Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), Kasikornbank (KBank) and TMB Bank (TMB).
Tisco said it expects the 7 banks to pay dividends of 19.76 baht per share, down from 24.10 baht per share in the previous year, after the Bank of Thailand (BoT) asked commercial banks to suspend interim dividend payments for this in order to maintain strong capital reserves to help businesses when the COVID-19 situation eases.
