Political News
Pressure is mounting on embattled Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to show his sincerity to support the charter amendment push regarding the powers of the Senate to join MPs to select a prime minister after the Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party leader Pita Limcharoenrat and Sathit Wongnongtoey of the Democrat Party led 99 opposition and government MPs to submit a motion seeking an amendment to Section 272 of the charter with the goal of excluding senators from the election of the Prime Minister.
Pita and Sathit submitted yesterday (September 8) the motion to House Speaker Chuan Leekpai on behalf of the 99 MPs of 13 parties including government coalition Bhumjai Thai Party. The motion was submitted without support from any MP of the Pheu Thai and Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP).
Pita said he expects the motion to be debated in parallel with another motion on September 23 and 24. He even said he sees no attempt from a single senator to block amendment to this section because all sides have agreed on the motion.
Sathit voiced strong support for the motion initiated by Move Forward, saying that Democrat Party MPs can exercise their rights to support Kao Klai’s motion although the majority of the party’s MPs have opted to support the PPRP’s motion in the first place.
Originally, 19 Democrat MPs had signed up to second Kao Klai’s motion, but three of them, namely Wiwat Nilwatchamanee, Somchart Praditthaporn and Panu Sribusayakarn, all MPs of Surat Thani province, later pulled out for unknown reasons, according to an informed source with the party.
Now, 16 Democrat MPs, 1 Bhumjai Thai, Siripong Angkhasakulkiat, and 1 Chart Thai Pattana MP, Chulaphan Nonsrichai have joined Kao Klai’s move.
Several of the small coaltion parties, which have 1 MP each, also support the Kao Klai move to amend Section 272. They are Damrong Pidet of Rak Puen Pa Prathet Thai, Mongkolkit Sooksintharanon of Thai Civilized Party, Pirawit Luangluedolapark of Thai Rak Tham, Prachatham Thai MP Pichet Sathirachawan and Surathin Pijarn of the Prachatippatai Mai Party.

Following the opposition Kao Klai Party’s move to submit a motion for charter amendments, Prime Minister Prayut came out to warn of high costs of public referendums.
He said the cost of a constitutional amendment could reach 10 billion baht as the cabinet approved a bill to pave the way for national referendums on the rewrite of the charter.
The Prime Minister explained that each referendum on constitutional amendments would require about 4 to 5 billion baht, with costs that include spending on Covid-19 prevention measures.
The cabinet approved in principle the bill which was proposed by the Election Commission (EC), Gen Prayut announced after the cabinet’s meeting yesterday.
The EC told the cabinet that at least 2 referendums are required. One on the amendment of the charter change process to set up a charter drafting body and another on the new charter. Following the EC’s clarification, Gen Prayut said that normally a referendum costs about 3 billion baht to hold, but with the Covid-19 pandemic, another 1 billion baht would be needed to arrange more polling stations than usual so as to ensure each station is not overcrowded.
“I’m just letting you know [about the cost]. Don't accuse me of not supporting [charter amendments]. If I didn’t support it, I would not push for the referendum bill,” Gen Prayut said.
Separately, Pheu Thai proposed 4 motions, seeking broader amendments of the Constitution, including Section 272 to exclude senators from process of electing the Prime Minister and Section 270 to curb the powers of the Senate regarding national reforms.
Pheu Thai also sought cross-party support and senators’ support for its motions including the amendment of Section 256 to pave the way for a new Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA) to write a new charter and the revocation of Section 279 which legitimizes all the orders issued and actions taken by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).
The party also proposes to amend Section 159 of the Constitution, to enable MPs to elect a prime minister from the list of nominees proposed by parties and from among MPs, Pheu Thai leader Sompong Amornvivat said in a press conference yesterday (September 8).
He added that the party will also seek to do away with the current election system stipulated in Sections 88, 83, 90, 91 and 94 of the Constitution and adopt the election system in the 1997 Constitution which supports a 2-ballot system, one for the election of candidates and the other for parties.
The party decided to leave the chapters about Thai sovereignty and the monarchy unchanged.
Meanwhile, a planned meeting of a group of 60 senators calling themselves “independent senators” yesterday (September 8) to discuss charter amendment issues did not go well following reports only 2 senators in the group showed up at the meeting and nearly 30 of them opted out of a Line chat group, causing the planned meeting to be cancelled. The 2 of the 60 senators who showed up are Direkrit Janekrongtham and Kittisak Rattanawaraha.
This group is said to form a Line chat group to seek 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 but wanted the charter to be reviewed section by section, rather than allowing a charter-drafting assembly to be formed to write a new one.
Direkrit explained that the meeting failed because a large number of reporters showed up at the meeting. Some of them did not want to be known for their motive behind the charter amendment issue. He said from now the group will discuss the matter through the Line chat group.
The Network Campaigning for Local Democracy, known as “Kor Por Tor” in Thai, comprising 105 scholars and university lecturers nationwide, most of whom belong to political science, public administration and local administration fields, signed their names in support of a statement that called for the government to hold local elections at all levels within 2020.
The group decried the suspension of local polls after a military coup led by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha took over the power and the fact that local politics have been at a standstill for 6 years since then.
In its statement, the freeze in the local polls created a wide range of problems for local politics, the group said, questioning the government’s reluctance to hold local polls which raised concerns that it feared that local elections may give the government’s opponents a boost.
Embattled Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday (September 8) got upset with the media and told them to “go home” during a news briefing when asked by a reporter about the possibility of another military coup.
“Hey! Go on, go home. Don’t be so absurd. Do not ask me this kind of question” the Prime Minister shouted out to the reporter during a news conference at Government House before walking away from the podium.
Gen Prayut reacted on the coup question by saying “Who? Who’s doing a coup?” when the reporter said, “the army”. He replied, “It’s sloppy of you to ask questions like this.”

Rumours of a new military coup circulated on social media along with videos of military vehicles being moved into Bangkok. The army defended the manoeuvre as part of a routine military drill.
On the planned major rally at Thammasat University’s Tha Prachan campus scheduled on September 19, there are reports that the police are planning to adopt the “Korakot” crowd-control plan, which was used during mass protests in 2008, to take care of security during the rally.
Parit “Penquin” Chivarak, one of protest leaders, said in his Facebook post that he will lead protesters from the campus to Sanam Luang on the day. The Student Union of Thailand (SUT) will hold a meeting to discuss details of the planned rally on September 19 at Thammasat’s Dome Building at 15.00 hrs today (September 9)
Pol Lt-Gen Pakkapong Pongpetra, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, came out to warn student leaders that their protest must remain within the law.
Today Parit, the key organizer of the rally on September 19th said that he would hold a meeting @ 15:00 to map out the plans for the rally on September 19th which could be the single largest rally in Thailand since the 2013/2014 rally against then Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
On education credentials of deputy finance minister Santi Promphat who will be targeted during a general debate in the House of Representatives today (September 9), Ramkhamhaeng University’s management issued a statement to confirm that Santi has completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Political Science Faculty.
As for claims that the deputy finance minister was caught cheating in an exam, the university said it was a case of misunderstanding. It said the name of the student who was caught cheating was Saanti Phrompat, not Santi Prompat.
In response to Pheu Thai MP for Mahasarakham Yutthapong Charassathien’s observation about his educational credentials, Santi claimed that, besides his BA and MA degrees from Ramkhamhaeng University, he completed his PhD on electric cars at King Mongkut Institute of Technology’s Lat Krabang campus about 6 months ago, adding that he is waiting for the graduation ceremony.
Santi said he is ready to produce his degrees as proof to clear all doubts and told Yutthapong to ask Ramkhamhaeng University.
The 96-year old mother of Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon has passed away at around 23:00 hrs last night.
Economic News
Thailand’s stock market is set to respond to the global markets sliding on the back of sell off in technology related shares and the slide in the oil prices.
NASDAQ plunged 4.11 per cent bringing the run of the tech sector to a ‘correction’ territory.
Leading the fall was the darling of the tech industry – Tesla, which plunged more than 21 per cent, the steepest fall in its history – wiping out $82 billion from the company’s market capitalization.
Apple Inc. fell 6.7 per cent
Microsoft fell 5.4 per cent
Yesterday the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index slipped below 1,300 points (September 8) after plunging 18.52 points or 1.38 per cent to close at 1,293.80 points, in trade worth 45.468 billion baht.
Meanwhile oil is back with the same old concerns it had during the crisis in March when the prices went into the negative territory for the 1st time in history.

The Cabinet approved measures to create jobs for 260,000 graduates from universities and vocational schools over a 12-month period, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha announced after Tuesday’s cabinet meeting.
The positions would be among 1 million jobs that the ministry was preparing for people and it would present the job vacancies in an upcoming Work Expo to stimulate employment in all sectors, the Prime Minister said.
The government pledged to pay 50 per cent of salaries for new graduates during the 1-year period starting next month. The subsidies will cost the state about 23.48 billion baht.
Meanwhile, disappointing news following the cabinet meeting is that the cabinet has yet to discuss planned cash handouts of 3,000 baht aimed at stimulating the economy, Gen Prayut told a news briefing.
A total of 410,061 people, accounting for 3.67 per cent of 11.168 million workers insured under Section 33 of the Social Security Act, applied for unemployment benefits in July alone. The number rose by 14,368 or 3.63 per cent from the previous month and was up 218.404 or 113.96 per cent from the same period of last year, according to a report from the Social Security Office (SSO).
The Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) forecast that Thailand’s economic growth will shrink by 7-9 per cent this year from the 5.3% contraction made earlier as the country’s tourism industry cannot return to normal tourism conditions, TDRI senior researcher Nonarit Bisonyabut said. The coronavirus pandemic is the major factor hurting economies and taken a heavy toll on tourism this year. The TDRI expects the unemployment numbers to rise to 2-3 million from the original forecast of 1-2 million.
Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha reportedly ordered a study into a proposal to build a land bridge between the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, seen as a potential key part of a new major economic development plan in the South.
The study into the proposal is part of the government’s attempt to build a new economy to promote investments and relied less on the export and tourism sectors.
This land bridge proposal, a transport link between the Andaman Sea on the western side, and the Gulf of Thailand on the eastern side, is part of the government’s national development strategy.
The Prime Minister said the existing Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) alone is not enough and the government is looking for new megaprojects to invest in for the country’s 20-year national development strategy.
Thai exports in July this year dropped 11.37 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to US$18.819 billion while imports plunged 26.38 per cent YoY to $15.48 billion, the Thai National Shippers’ Council (TNSC) chairperson Ghanyapad Tantipipatpong said.
Exports in the first 7 months of this year dipped 7.72 per cent YoY to $133.16 billion while imports contracted 14.69 per cent YoY to $119.118 billion.
The TNSC maintained its export forecast of minus 10 per cent this year on the assumption that the baht’s exchange rate will remain at around 31.5 baht per US dollar.
A ban on the online sale of liquor (beer and spirit) is now in place following the announcement that was published on September 8 in the Royal Gazette.
The ban is part of the government’s attempt to regulate and prevent the access of young people to alcohol.
