For the first time since taking office on Thursday, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra took the ground in parliament to respond to an representation.
She was responding to an inquiry about what the government has done in response to the growth of call center fraud and international murder by Ratchaburi MP Akradech Wongpituchroj.
The prime minister claimed that the government is presently moving forward with implementing measures to combat them.
Ms. Paetongtarn said she has heard of numerous instances of people being conned out of their existence saving and also being forced to commit suicide.
She claimed that she had instructed the ministers and express agencies to work closely with each other to fight international groups while requesting the participation of neighboring countries.
According to her, the state has established a center for the prevention and suppression of virtual offense, which has so far managed to shut up to 1.92 million animal bank accounts that the scammers have already opened.
After yesterday, Ms Paetongtarn more elaborated via her X consideration that the 1.92 million addresses were registered using the labels of around 144, 000 individuals.
She stated that another 2.8 million SIM tickets suspected of being used for illegal objectives have been suspended and are being examined, and that around 2.4 million had been cancelled after it was discovered that they had been used by online scammers.
Online schemes have reduced the amount of injury that is caused by them from around 100 million to around 50 million. She claimed that the drop speaks of the powerful government measures, particularly the ban on electricity and online access to the call center swindling locations along Myanmar’s five border regions.
Thailand and Cambodia are cooperating with each other to launch crackdowns on call center con gangs in Poi Pet frontier city, she said, while work is ongoing with Myanmar to maintain the pace of suppression against international gangs operating across the border.
” As a prime minister of the Thai people, my goal is to take good care of Thai people earliest”, she said. She said,” The authorities won’t stop until those name center schemes and drug traffickers are eliminated,” and the room received a lot of applause.
Ms. Paetongtarn hasn’t responded to an representation in person in congress since ostensibly sworn in as prime minister in August of last year, despite claims that she was attempting to avoid sessions.
