Apart from the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) scheme, he advised the government to accelerate investment in the South Economic Corridor (SEC) scheme, especially the proposed land bridge project running across Thailand to help logistics from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Suphachai said this mega project proposal will help link Thailand to 2 economic superpowers and India. This can help put Thailand in the position of a global trade hub and a global financial hub.

Political News

 The Opposition Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party’s bill to seek an amendment to the lese majeste law Section 112 was rejected by the parliament.

 The party was told that a bill submitted by the party to amend Section 112 of the Criminal Code on lese majeste to promote and protect civil rights and freedom of speech contravenes the constitution.

 It will be interesting to see if Move Forward will devise other plans to renew its push.

 An extraordinary parliamentary session scheduled for April 7-8 to deliberate the referendum bill may be postponed as the Council of State has not yet finished its work on the bill.

 Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said he discussed the matter with Parliament President Chuan Leekpai, and they acknowledged the session scheduled for April 7-8 may be too early. Mr Wissanu quoted Mr Chuan as saying it is up to the government to decide on when the session should be held.

 Senator Poldej Pinprateep, who sits on a committee vetting the bill, said the Council of State, which is the government's legal advisory body, has told the committee that it cannot finish scrutiny of the bill in time for the session as it has to amend several sections related to Section 9. Therefore, the session scheduled for April 7-8 is likely to be postponed until after Songkran when parliament convenes for a special session.

 The core coalition Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) is facing a turmoil ahead of the party’s annual general assembly (AGM) scheduled in April following reports that the faction led by Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow is lobbying for a replacement of the party’s secretary-general.

 While an overhaul of the party’s executive committee is expected at the upcoming AGM, it is said that Capt. Thamanat-led faction is seeking to replace Anucha Nakasai, the party’s current secretary-general, with Santi Prompat.

 This will likely lead to fraction between the Saam Mitr Group and Capt Thamanat’s faction. Another reports said Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin, as a Saam Mitr key member, has offered himself as a candidate for the party’s secretary-general post to keep Saam Mitr’s leverage.

 Many PPRP MPs fear that the replacement of the party’s secretary general could fuel a new round of conflict inside the party.

 The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders accepted a case lodged against Phalang Pracharat Party MP (PPRP) for Ratchaburi Pareena Kraikupt who was accused by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) of holding property in a national forest reserve.

 At hearing on the case, the court declared that it would take on the matter as filed by the NACC. It also ordered Pareena to immediately suspend her MP duties. Both parties are to convene for a hearing on April 30 at 09:30 hrs.

 Pareena has been given 14 days to file a response. Pareena has previously filed a request for the court not to accept the case and for her duties not to be suspended.

 However, the court ruled that in accordance with the Constitution article 235 Section 3, she must be barred from political activities after sufficient evidence for the case was submitted.

 Public prosecutors postponed until May 13, 2021 the hearing of 13 political activists involved in the protest in front of the German Embassy in on October 26, 2020 as the prosecutor has yet to finish the paperwork needed to file the case against the protesters.

 The group is facing royal defamation charges under Section 112 of the Criminal Code for either reading a statement or giving speeches during the protest, in which they submit a petition calling for the German authorities to investigate His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn’s use of power during his time in Germany.

 In addition to the royal defamation charge, several among the 13 protesters are also charged with sedition under Section 116 of the Criminal Code.

 Student activist Patsaravalee Tanakitvibulpon said before going to meet with the public prosecutor that she is still confident, especially after last night’s protest at

the Ratchaprasong intersection, where she gave a speech calling for monarchy reform.

 According to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), at least 77 people are facing royal defamation charges for their involvement in recent protests, 6 of whom are minors. Several protest leaders are also facing several counts, such as Parit, who is facing 20 counts, Anon Nampa, who is facing 12 counts, and Panusaya Sithijirawattanakul, who is facing 9 counts.

 Meanwhile, key protest leader Panupong “Mike Rayong” Jadnok is facing another sedition charge under Section 116 brought by the Mueang Rayong Police Station for holding a sign against Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha during the latter’s visit to the province on July 15, 2020.

 The Pathumwan Police Station also brought a charge of sedition against Panupong for violation of the emergency decree during an MBK Skywalk rally to demand the release of key protest leaders on February 10, 2021

 Meanwhile, Phupat Saengsubin, coordinator of a royalist group led by Suwit Thongprasert, the former Phra Buddha Isara, submitted a letter to Anek Laothamatas, the Minister of Higher Education Science Research and Innovation, asking him to take action against the Nitirat group, which consists of law professors from .

 Phupat claimed that the Nitirat group showed strong support for political rallies organised by some Thammasat student activists who had allegedly insulted the monarchy. Their role has triggered conflict and turmoil in society. He asked the Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Minister to halt or limit the role of the Nitirat law professors and expel students whose action posed a threat to the monarchy.

 The opposition Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party has spurned rumours that its party leader Pita Limjaroenrat will stand as a candidate in the Bangkok governor election tentatively scheduled in October.

 Move Forward list MP and spokesman Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn came out to dismiss the possibility of the party fielding Pita as a candidate for the upcoming Bangkok gubernatorial contest. Wiroj said the reason is because Pita is a suitable candidate for the PM’s post.

 He said the party’s candidate screening committee has now selected 2-3 candidates, both male and female, who are in their late 30s and early 40s. The party expects to debut its candidates before a new parliamentary session in April.

 Army chief Gen Narongphan Jitkaewtae is expected to set up a fact-finding committee to look into the lieutenant soldier’s comment, a source with the army said, adding that Gen Narongphan has instructed the army to steer clear from politics, political rallies and making political comments on social media.

 This case is considered a severe case because it is involved the monarchy, the source said.

 Both government and opposition MPs came under fire for their shameful behaviour.

 Netizens shared photos of an S-class Mercedes-Benz owned by a coalition MP who use electricity at the parliament complex to recharge his car’s battery.

 House secretary Pornpit Petcharoen responded that the House secretariat does not allow any individual to bring their personal vehicle to charge their electric vehicle in the parliament building. An investigation is under way, Pornpit said.
