Mr. Settha said that he personally tries to keep the glass half-full. in various recommendations Sometimes what the media recommends is considered strong advice. Some people talk sweetly. But let’s not look at the methods presented as harsh, frictional, or aggressive. We’d rather look at the overall intent.

They have different aims. Try to look at it more positively. As they said it was a challenge.

o meet with the coalition parties.

The reporter repeatedly asked: There will be suspicion from the case of Mr. Thaksin. Giving an interview referring to people in the forest That caused chaos.

absolute power lies with him. He is the one who signs, he is the one who signs, but of course any former prime minister, he goes to him. If he has something to suggest, he accepts it, including others. Therefore, he believes that he should not use the word Double power is better We use the word that this government listens to all opinions. Ready to admit that Foreigners have also asked this question. But I believe that I have proven it by working for the past 9 months. That the most stable work is when we listen to the opinions of every sector.

The Prime Minister also said that In the past, problems encountered were just crises of private companies. Anything that happens negatively affects a small group of people. But if it’s political in the position of highest executive of the country It is the duty of the Prime Minister to be responsible for 70 million people. It is bigger, but is he ready to face and find solutions to these problems? He considered himself ready. If you look at the way of working You will
see that he does not shrink. Still continuing to work Tomorrow I wake up at 7 a.m. to go to work.
