The opposition-core Women’s Party really questioning her knowledge gaps and citing many cases, the argument against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra resumed at legislature on Tuesday night.

Pakamon Noon-anan, a PP member, told the House that Ms. Paetongtarn lacked relevant expertise to serve as premier. The opposition MP gave numerous examples to back up her condemnation.

Ms. Pakamon claimed that when investigators asked the prime minister how she would manage a stronger ringgit on September 24 last year, the prime minister responded that the baht’s recognition may gain Thai imports.

” How is that possible? People all over the world are aware that a high ringgit gains exports because it costs less to bring in goods. You gave a bad response to a fundamental question, the PP MP said. It hurts export because our items are more expensive.

Women’s trust in the leader of the country are impacted by a lack of knowledge of a plain issue, she said.

According to Ms. Pakamon, reporters on February 25 inquired about a potential trigger for Thailand’s Stock Exchange, whose SET indicator had fallen to 1,200 at the time. The prime minister had a smile and left without a response.

The prime minister responded by asking investigators if they had questioned them at the Finance Ministry on March 10 and therefore left when reporters asked her why the government had distribute 10,000 baht to people between the ages of 16 and 20.

The prime minister had just come out of a conference on boosting the economy, according to Ms. Pakamon. Was there a cause the meeting chair don’t respond to the question at hand?

The criticism MP even mentioned the effectiveness of the prime minister at the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Bangkok on November 21, 2024. If Paetongtarn had performed properly, “here, great opportunities could have been attracted to Thailand,” she said.

Ms. Paetongtarn was questioned about how the government would build modern infrastructure and skilled workers to bring Thai technology projects during the discussion on November 21. She responded by addressing the president’s 10-millibaht handouts, the president’s land debt moratorium, and soft power promotion, Ms. Pakamon said.

The interviewer then asked the Thai prime minister why foreign investors may invest there, and the interviewer responded,” Thai is a good place, at the heart of the region,” according to the PP MP.

The market was aware of where Thailand was on that day. How does the prime minister’s ability to grow the nation’s economy relate to its site? the criticism member said.

You do not need to be the prime minister because Thailand never relocate elsewhere, according to Ms Pakamon, if you mention the remarkable feature of Thailand’s area.

The prime minister should have mentioned stability, the country’s economic growth outlook, tax exemptions, government support, plans to advance workers ‘ skills, Thailand’s exceptional industrial and agricultural areas, and the efforts of foreign investors, she said, to woo traders.

When foreign owners and general managers met the perfect minister, the interviewer in the Forbes program inquired about the most frequently asked question about investment opportunities in Thailand. Ms. Pakamon responded that they often inquired about the health of her dad and her aunt.

The criticism MP claimed that the truth was unimportant and did not promote Thailand’s investment opportunities.

When asked about the potential effects of the profit of US President Donald Trump, the prime minister replied that there would be no issue because Thailand’s export to the US amounted to only 10 % of its gross domestic product.

” Will the prime minister not view it as a problem if there is damage to the source of that 10 % of GDP?” You are unable to talk about financial troubles at this level, Ms. Pakamon said.
