You played a significant role during COVID because you advocated for vaccinations and, evidently, those times were questionable. What would you do to use what you learned in the past, such as running for the upcoming election?  ,
Dinesh Vasu Dash, PAP prospect for East Coast GRC:  
Yes, I must add that the main focus of the position I’ve had in my life was to get things done and make things work for everyone. We frequently hear a lot during the current year, but we don’t understand how these things will be having an impact on locals.
We could go on for a while about whether or not the GST should be 9 %, 7 %, or better, 0 %, but where would the money be coming in from? And how do we finally finance the various different initiatives we have?
Therefore, I believe having a holistic view of problems may be good. And this includes making the guidelines work for people, as well as plan development. You know, you have to make a lot of adjustments and a lot of to and fros from whatever the earth expertise is in order for it to work for the people on the ground.

According to the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, a person has been detained for aiding a former policeman standard in cheating on an interview at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Law.
On Wednesday, a police squad acting on an arrest warrant approved by the Bangkok South Criminal Court on Tuesday nabbed Kanittha Lertbanjerdwong in the Bang Bon city of Bangkok.
Ms. Kanittha has been accused of obtaining a check sheet prior to the test and passing it on to the former police general who was taking an hour course at the university again in 2023.
After examining the photos stored on a former police officer’s cellphone with close relationships to the previous police colonel, the crime authorities determined that Ms. Kanittha was the suspect.
The former police officer’s phone was reportedly the recipient of the images from the check paper, but phone records indicated that Ms. Kanittha had sent them them.
Ms. Kanittha, according to the computer police, was not a faculty employee. She is thought to have made friends with school officials in charge of the evening school, though.
According to the investigators, the suspect may have used her connections to obtain the exam papers.
