On September 12, which is the policy statement day of the government of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, I would like to say in advance that we should not do anything superficially. Even though we have studied and found information on solving the flooding problem for many eras, we have a new prime minister. Therefore, please do something new, fast, and accessible. And if the prime minister is going to visit the area today or tomorrow, please do not go in yet because if the prime minister goes, government agencies will have to wait to receive him. Therefore, please let him do his duty to help the people to the fullest first,' said Mr. Prinya. Source: Thai News Agency
