Thai Enquirer Summary
Political News
The general debate (without a debate) ended at 01:20 hrs. this morning with a statement from embattled Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who came out to say that
“You all have been calling on me to quit, I will manage my time according to what I think is right”
“You all call me the ‘military dictator’ but I think there was sometime not too long ago there was a parliamentary dictator. I don’t remember under who it was a parliamentary dictatorship”
“Also when the time comes I will not run away from my allegations and cases unlike some people”
“I am not going to harm any of those who are protesting on the streets, they are your and my children, but there are those who are behind them who are instigating them to do what they are doing”
Kao Klai (Move Forward) party leader Pita Limjaroenrat took to the House floor to criticise the government of Prime Minister Prayut of failing to solve any pressing issues as he put it this way:
“Amid pressing issues facing the country, the “captain” (Gen Prayut) continues to give an indifferent shrug to the hardships facing the people,” Pita said, pointing that Gen Prayut had the absolute privilege than other prime ministers or other national leaders without having to go through checks and balances. “As a result, Thailand’s economic performance is the second worst in Asia throughout his 5-year reign.” Pita said this pointed to the lack of effective leadership of Gen Prayut before he went on to attack many flaws the 2017 constitution, especially the 250-member chamber that has been instrumental in bringing former National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) leader, Gen Prayut, back to power.
Pheu Thai Party secretary-general Anudith Nakornthap, the first opposition MP to take the floor, branded Gen Prayut as the prime minister who caused the country’s public debt to rise more than others in the Thai history. He said eventually Gen Prayut will be the prime minister who faced the most pressure from the public to step down.
Anudith then raised flashed a 3-finger salute in the House chamber before he went on to proclaim the slogan “let it end in our generation” with 4 demands:
1) An end to violence 2) An end to intimidation 3) An end to police summons 4) An end to dictatorship
Anudith called for Gen Prayut to step down an easy way out to all problems, saying that this is what Thai people in the entire nation want.

During the debate Yuthapong Charasathien, an MP of Pheu Thai Party revealed the details of the 2 submarines worth 22.5 billion baht that has been shelved and for 1 that payments have been made as being not that of a government to government deal.
He showed details in the parliament on how the payments were made to a private company that was registered capital of a mere 5-million baht which has its registered office at Evergreen Tower in Bangna area
The planned anti-government event slated for September 19, 2020 is set to be a prolonged event and protestors have said that they will stay overnight and will march to the Government House on Sunday September 20, 2020.
The details of the plans were announced by activists Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak, and Panusaya Sithijirawattankul, a leader of the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration.
The group said that if the crowd is large enough they will walk from the university campus to the grounds of Sanam Luang and on to Ratchdamnoen Road, and will name the road as ‘Rasadorndanmoen Road’ (Rasadorn means people while Ratch means ruler/government)
Panusaya said the group---now calling itself the United Front of Thammasat group---plans to rally inside Thammsat University Tha Prachan Campus on the day from 14.00 hrs on the day and camp there for a night.
However, they plan to move to Sanam Luang if the Thammasat Tha Phrachan Campus is too small to accommodate growing numbers of protesters. If more than 100,000 people join the rally, the group plans to march on Government House next week to pile more pressure on the military-backed administration to step down.
Parit said he is confident that the planned rally will not spiral into violence like the October 6, 1976 incident as feared by many. He said the planned rally will be held in a non-violent way.
Parit and Panusaya said the rally will take place under the name “September 19: Bring Back the Power to People.”
Parit also confirmed the monarchy will definitely be the subject of discussion at the rally.
“The ceiling has already been broken since the 10 demands were announced, now it’s time for us to flutter,” the activist said.
The date of September 19 also coincides with the military coup that toppled PM Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006 and is now considered by many analysts to be a major turning point in Thai political history.
The issue of the activists making the statement made it to the front pages of all major media outlets in Thailand.
The front pages of 3 leading media outlets (Thai Rath, Matichon and business focused Krungthep Thurakij) all covering the planned protest and the parliamentary debate as their lead stories
Separately, the “Free Youth Group” posted a message on its Facebook page that police issued an arrest warrant for a 17-year-old student who joined the #Ratchaburi takes on dictatorship”, an anti-government rally in Ratchaburi province on August 1, 2020.
The page said this is the first time a summons was issued to a student.
Amid rumours of a possible coup, all eyes are on a meeting of army agencies scheduled at 9.00 hrs tomorrow (September 11) at the army’s headquarters. This meeting will be the last meeting chaired by army chief Gen Apirat Kongsompong before his mandatory retirement at the end of September.
Gen Apirat is expected to give special orders to instruct troops to prepare for various groups of anti-government rallies set to be held across the country and attacks on the government social media platforms by its opponents at the tomorrow meeting.
There are reports that the annual military reshuffle list is now ready to be submitted for royal approval after Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, also the Defence Minister, yesterday (September 9) gave the final green light to the annual reshuffle of generals of all the armed forces and this will soon be sent for royal endorsement by His Majesty the King.
As for the reshuffle of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, deputy army chief Gen Narongphan Jitkaewtae is tipped to succeed Gen Apirat Kongsompong as army chief; Adm Chatchai Srivorakarn, the assistant navy chief, will be promoted to become the new navy commander, replacing navy commander Adm Luechai Ruddit. Adm Chatchai is said to gain full approval from Ad Leuchai, Gen Prayut and Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan.
ACM Airbull Suttiwan has won air force commander ACM Maanat Wongwat’s nomination as his successor.
Gen Chalermpol Srisawat, the armed forces chief of staff, would move to supreme commander.
The Opposition’s plans to seek amendments to the 2017 constitution is up in the air following reports which came out that Kao Klai’s motion to seek an amendment to Section 272 of the charter to curb the powers of the Senate in joining the process of the election of a prime minister, has now been aborted after 99 MPs from 13 parties including government coalition parties withdrew their support.
It is reported that several MPs of the coalition parties including Democrat MPs who agreed to second the motion withdrew their support at the last minute.
In part of the Democrat Party, there are reports that a group of 16 Democrat MPs who were among those who threw support behind Kao Klai’s charter amendment motion had faced immense pressure from Democrat senior figures like party leader Jurin Laksanavisit, party chief advisors Chuan Leekpai and Banyat Bantadtan to withdraw their names.
However, Democrat Party spokesman Rames Ratanachaweng came out to deny this rumour, saying that his party has not reached a resolution on the matter. He denied to say how many MPs withdrew support for the motion seeking an amendment to Section 272.
Meanwhile, several MPs of small coalition parties who had signed up to second the Kao Klai’s motion to amend Section 272 were also lobbied intensely to withdraw their support.
As a result, Kao Klai’s attempt to submit the motion was aborted as for a motion to be accepted for debate in the House, it needs support of at least one-fifth of the members of the House of Representatives, or 98 MPs.
After the withdrawals of the MPs their numbers have fallen below 80 MPs thus the motion will fail to be debated in the parliament.
Following the failed attempt to amend Section 272, there are reports that key members of the opposition Pheu Thai Party immediately approached Kao Kai leading members to ask them to switch to supporting the party’s 4 motions seeking broader amendments of the charter, including Section 272.
Pheu Thai expects to submit its 4 motions to House Speaker Chuan Leekpai today (September 10).
Economic News
The Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) yesterday (September 9) expressed grave concerns about rising anti-government protests, a sinking economy and Thailand’s unemployment situation as it warned that unemployment will keep growing next year if state stimulus packages are not strong enough to battle economic woes. Unemployment already reached 2.5 million people in the first half of this year.
The unemployment rate is expected to increase if the government's economic stimulus measures are not strong and many rehabilitation projects are delayed," Supant Mongkolsuthree, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, said after a JSCCIB meeting yesterday (September 9).
Payong Srivanich, chairman of the Thai Bankers’ Association, said, “The economy is still very weak. “Domestic demand is fragile due to high uncertainty, which could hurt consumer and investor confidence”.
Thailand’s economy is expected to contract between 7 per cent and 9 per cent this year from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, while frequent anti- government protests are a concern, Payong said. The JSCCIB maintains that Thai exports will contract between 10 per cent and 12 percent this year.
Supant said almost daily anti-government protests since mid-July, especially a major rally planned for September 19, are another concern.
The top business group also discussed ideas of a loan guarantee from state- owned Thai Credit Guarantee Corporation (TCG) for small and medium-sized enterprises under the Bank of Thailand’s 500 billion baht soft loan scheme.
In details, the JSCCIB wants the TCG to increase its maximum loan guarantee for SMEs from 30 per cent to 50 per cent so banks are encouraged to give out loans.
The group also called on state agencies to speed up the disbursement of payments to SMEs that have completed their state contracts. Supant said these contractors should be paid within 30 days of completing their jobs, instead of having to wait for 2-4 months.
The Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA) readies a new stimulus package worth 100 billion baht to stimulate growth in tourism, employment and labour skill development, according to Tossaporn Sirisamphan, secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) as a member of a panel under the CESA. He said the proposal
The new batch is part of 2 economic stimulus packages after the first worth 400 billion baht in which the government set aside for economic and social rehabilitation.
The cabinet has so far approved a budget of 43 billion baht for proposed projects that require 92 billion baht in total funding. Tossaporn said the NESDC will propose the cabinet for approval the remaining budget of 47 billion baht next week.
The proposed 3,000-baht cash handout scheme is underway, with the Fiscal Policy Office (FPO) working on details of the scheme before submission to the Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA) and the cabinet for approval on September 17.
The Ministry of Finance is said to instruct the FPO to finalise details of the cash handout, with initial daily spending disbursed through an e-wallet application and a cap of 100 baht.
The main principle of this scheme is that the government will give 3,000-baht cash handouts to 15 million people to buy consumer goods.
Recipients are required to register for the cash and the money will be transferred through the Pao Tang app’s G-wallet app, similar to procedures under the Taste, Shop, and Spend scheme.
The main difference lies in how daily spending is capped at a limited amount for the 3,000-baht scheme.
The government will subsidise 50 per cent of all spending on a daily basis.
If a sum of 100 baht is spent at a local shop, the shop would collect 50 baht from a consumer, while the government would pay the remaining 50 baht to the store owner.
Thanavat Phonvichai, president of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC), came out to urge the government to speed up its planned cash handout payments of 3,000 baht to 15 million people as he said this will boost economic growth in the fourth quarter by an estimated 1-1.5 per cent.
The UTCC expects the Thai economy to contract between 6.5 per cent and 8.5 per cent, less than previous forecast of 8 per cent to 10 per cent.
Thanavat said the economy would post little or zero growth in the first quarter of next year before returning to positive territory in the second quarter given that Thailand can avoid a second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak or severe political tension.
Nation Multimedia Group (NMG) vowed to clear away the accumulated losses of 3.509 billion baht on operating results of December 31, 2019.
Chairman Marut Arthakaivalvatee said the company expects a delay in submitting financial reports on operating results of the first and second quarters this year after the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) posted SP sign on its stock.
NMG expects to submit its financial results of the first quarter this month and second-quarter reports in October or November 2020. Marut said he expects NMG to resume normal trade on the stock market at the end of this year or early next year.
He said it would take time for the company to clear away its accumulated losses because it is getting into the process of digital transformation to lift its performance and clear its accumulated losses in 2021.
