Thai Enquirer Summary

Political News

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has dismissed speculation about a looming cabinet

reshuffle, saying that he has not thought about it and asked the media to stop reporting on

the issue which he likened to a soap opera.

He insisted that changing cabinet ministers is his exclusive decision.

“I know when and how, but not at this moment,” he said, adding that he

has many other things to do. “Do not ask me when I will change the

Cabinet. I will tell you myself when there is to be a reshuffle. Or I may

not tell you, as I may go ahead and do it myself, because it is at the sole

decision of the Prime Minister,” he said, adding that there is already a

quota system for the coalition parties.

When asked about the prospect that Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan

may become the new leader of the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP), Gen Prayut

retorted: “Why not? If he accepts the position, it is his own business”.

The Prime Minister also brushed aside speculation that 3 economic ministers

including Finance Minister Uttama Savanayana, Energy Minister Sontirat

Sontijirawong and Minister of University, Science, Research and Innovations

Suvit Maesinsee who are close associates of Deputy Prime Minister Somkid

Jatusripitak, may quit. Gen Prayut only said he had instructed them to do their

jobs the best they can.

Opposition MPs walked out of parliament chamber yesterday (June 9) in protest against a

lack of details in the government’ plan to reallocate 88 billion baht to a central fund to

fight Covid-19 and rehabilitate the economy.

Worawat Ua-apinyakul, deputy chairman of the ad-hoc committee vetting a draft

bill on the budget transfer who led the walkout, said he noted that the

government’s transfer draft bill lacked elaborate details. Without the details the

panel cannot make thorough examinations. He said large amounts of the central

fund were earmarked to solve drought problems, not help fight the outbreak.

Mr Worawat voiced frustration at the Defence Ministry for hampering the panel’s

work, noting ministry representatives submitted a document marked as classified

to the committee for consideration but retracted it shortly after. The document is

believed to be the government’s plan to reallocate money to the central fund. He

slammed the chairman of his ad-hoc committee for refusing to call for the return

of the document from the ministry.

Benja Saengchan, a committee member from Kao Klai Party, said the defence

[ministry] is untouchable. The ministry claimed that the document was classified

and took it back immediately, preventing the panel from thoroughly examining

the document.

Finance Minister Uttama Savanayana, as the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) leader, is

under pressure to call a general assembly to elect a new executive board.

Deputy party leader Paiboon Nititawan said after a meeting of executive

committee members yesterday (June 9) that Mr Uttama must schedule the general

assembly for June 19-21, warning that if Mr Uttama fails to do so, rebel MPs

from other factions inside the PPRP will mobilize more than half of the party’s

MPs to petition the Election Commission (EC) to call the general assembly.

It is also speculated that the rebel MPs’ rebellion is intended to necessitate a

cabinet reshuffle, to unseat the economic team, led by Deputy Prime Minister

Somkid.

There are a few new developments on the case of missing pro-democracy activist

Wanchalearm Satsaksit who reportedly went missing in Phnom Penh last week.

Cambodia’s national police force is reported to launch an investigation into the

alleged abduction of Mr Chalearm despite earlier calling his disappearance “fake

news,” prompting frustration over delays from a rights group that demanded an

independent and transparent probe.

Amid mounting calls for an investigation, including a request via a diplomatic

note from the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, National Police Commission

spokesman Chhay Kim Khoeun confirmed yesterday (June 9) that a probe into

Wanchalearm’s disappearance is underway.

Chhay Kim Khoeun denied allegations by Mr Wanchalearm’s supporters in

Thailand that authorities in Phnom Penh had carried out the alleged abduction at

Bangkok’s behest.

Chhay Kim Khoeun said according to official records, Mr Wanchalearm wasn’t

even living in Cambodia at the time of his alleged kidnapping. “According to our

investigation, Satsakit disappeared from Cambodia in 2017,” he said.

There is also a report that Mr Chalearm’s visa which allowed him to stay in

Cambodia for 2 years has expired since December 31, 2017. Cambodian

authorities found no evidence that Mr Chalearm applied to renew his visa.

Following a weekly cabinet meeting yesterday (June 10) Prime Minister Prayut

Chan-o-cha told reporters he had asked Thai security officials about MR

Wanchalearm’s reported abduction and indicated that his government would

cooperate with authorities from a foreign country in investigating the case.

He also made clear that Thailand would not “interfere in another country’s

authority” as part of any investigation.

“I’ve nothing to do [with this issue] and I seek fairness for Thai

officials,” Gen Prayut added.

Regarding reports of the Ministry of Defence’s move to request private mobile phone

information from mobile network operators as revealed through the ministry’s letter to

the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), political

activist Srisuwan Janya announced that he will today petition the National Human Rights

Commission (NHRC) to look into the matter.

Meanwhile, secretary-general Takorn Tantasith said the NBTC has been

requested by the Defence Ministry and the Department of Disease Control to track

locations of 140 mobile phone subscribers, who are COVID-19 patients who are

deemed to be in a high risk group.

Mr Takorn insisted that the NBTC cannot access personal data of these mobile

phone users. It can merely retrieve information about facilities where these

patients received treatments in a 7-day period.

In a separate development, the Office of the Ombudsman decided to accept political

activist Srisuwan Janya’s petition asking it to seek the Constitutional Court’s ruling on

the nomination of Suchart Trakulkasemsuk as to whether he is eligible to become a new

member of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), announced Ombudsman

secretary-general Raksagecha Chaechai.

Mr Srisuwan claimed that the nomination of Mr Suchart was decided by the

NACC selection committee tasked with selecting a new member may be

unconstitutional as Mr Suchart has not left the National Legislative Assembly

(NLA) at least 10 years as required under Section 11 (18) of the anti-corruption

law.

Economic News

Analysts feel that wiith the prospect of lifting the ban on inbound passenger flights (even

if selective) is a sign of some light at the end of the tunnel.

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) has reported that Japanese

investors/businessmen (likely via Jetro) have asked for a daily quota of business

travelers so they can complete investment negotiations and fill in senior vacant

positions.

This, analysts say, is very encouraging. Production is set to return to normal. Also

perhaps finally some of the ongoing industrial land purchase negotiation at WHA

and AMATA can be concluded.

The influx Japanese executives would also be positive for familiar hotel operators

that have strong brand and can be "relied" with regard to safety. Among the top

would be the Bangkok and eastern region properties of MINT, ERW, CENTEL

and the Centrepoints.

This move prompted the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) plans to call a

meeting with airlines next week to discuss whether they will be allowed to resume

international routes expected on July 1.

CAAT director Chula Sukmanop said the meeting will focus on airlines’

readiness to resume overseas services, details of airlines’ preferred international

routes and CAAT travel regulations.

Mr Chula said he could not answer whether the CAAT will extend its inbound

flight ban further. He said he is awaiting a signal from the Centre for Covid-19

Situation Administration (CCSA). Mr Chula expects the situation to become

clear in the next 1-2 weeks.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said the government is

considering to reopen the country’s borders, with priority to COVID-19-free

countries, in the 3rd or final quarter of this year.

He said relaxation of inbound travel restrictions will boost the tourism industry,

which has suffered heavily in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

The Cabinet has approved the exemption of hotel operating fees, worth 40 baht per room,

for 1 year (from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021), Government spokesperson Naruemon

Pinyosinwat announced after a weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday (June 9).

The exemption of the fee on 783,855 rooms would help hotels while the

government is expected to lose 31.35 billion baht in revenue.

The tourism ministry is planning to roll out programs worth 8-12 billion baht to stimulate

domestic tourism. There is hope that the program will work. Domestic tourism was about

6.4% of nominal GDP in 2019, based on estimates by Tourism Authority of Thailand

(TAT), which could mean that there could be some boon for the tourism sector.

The Cabinet also approved a 10-billion-baht budget for its sugarcane farmers, whose

output has been hit by drought.

The government expects that around 300,000 sugarcane farmers would receive

the financial aid, said Ratchada Thanadirek, a deputy government spokeswoman.

Thailand’s cane production next season is expected to further decline by around

20%, the Office of the Cane and Sugar Fund has forecast, as drought continued

while farmers planted new crops in April and early May, and as the coronavirus

pandemic hits the global economy and reduces demand for sugar.

Thailand is the world’s 2nd-largest sugar exporter, behind Brazil, but its

production plunged by more than 40% in the December-April season from a year

earlier, as it crushed the lowest volume of sugar cane in a decade as a prolonged

drought undermined yield.

The Cabinet also approved a business restructuring plan for the debt-ridden Bangkok

Mass Transit Authority (BMTA). The process is expected to take around 7 years in order

to help the BMTA to cut losses, Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob announced after

a weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday (June 9).

Under this business rehabilitation plan, the BMTA will rent out a total of 2,511

buses from 2 or 3 different companies.

The weekly Cabinet’s meeting has approved the drafting of a bill that would allow for the

tax collection of foreign digital platforms. The measure was proposed by the Ministry of

Finance.

The bill so-called “E-Service Act” would start collecting tax from foreign digital

platforms that do not have a Thai subsidiary. This includes platforms that provide

online music, movies, games, stickers, advertisement and hotel booking.

The collection will add at least 3 billion baht into the government’s coffer per

year as estimated by the Finance Ministry.

Foreign digital platforms are making at least 1.8 million baht per year in Thailand.

If passed, they will have to pay value-added tax (VAT) and be liable for sales tax,

according to information from the Revenue Department.

The Cabinet approved excise tax exemptions for various businesses affected by the

COVID-19 pandemic including night entertainment venues, night clubs, bars, pubs, horse

racing facilities, massage parlours, restaurants that sell liquor and golf courses, effective

until September 30, 2020.

In addition, the Cabinet has delayed doubling the excise tax on cigarettes to 40%

which will raise retail price for cigarettes priced below 60 baht per pack, from

20% for another year from the original date on October 1, 2020.

The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has come out to float the idea that it

would set up a fund to help bonds issued by issuers that are non-investment grade due to

the coronavirus outbreak.

The securities watchdog requested the Finance Ministry offer tax privileges to

make the fund's establishment viable, and funding must be sought from several

sources, said Deputy PM Somkid.

Grassroots economy:

In the 1.9 trillion baht fund, 400 billion baht is earmarked for the grassroots economy. So

far some 28,425 projects worth up to 593 billion baht have been identified says National

Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) and these projects belong to state

agencies and local administrative organizations dealing with community businesses, One

Tambon One Product (OTOP), community tourism and small-scale infrastructure

development.

Broker Kim Eng says that if these projects are rolled out, it could generate

demand for construction materials , small/medium machinery and electrical

equipment. Potential beneficiaries VNT, WIIK, SCC, SCCC, TPIPL and even

farm tractor maker Kubota (parts supplied by SAT).

Apart from these other to benefit in the multiplier are the hire purchase companies

like SINGER and JMART, MTC and SAWAD.

In regards to the On the progress of Thai Airways international (THAI)’s rehabilitation

plan, reports said the national carrier has successfully completed negotiations with

creditors in 3 countries, namely Switzerland, Germany and Japan, and is planning to seek

bankruptcy protection in the United States before it starts negotiating with creditors there.

Thai Airways has asked German and Swiss courts to protect its planes, deposit

accounts and other assets overseas from creditors, according to government

spokeswoman Naruemon Pinyosinwat.

The national carrier will seek the same recognition from courts in other

countries, including Japan and the United States.

THAI has until August 17 to come up with a rehabilitation plan to present to the

Central Bankruptcy Court.

The World Bank downgraded Thailand’s economic growth outlook for this year to a -5%,

from 2.7%, citing a host of unfavourable factors including supply chain disruptions,

lockdown measures, declining trade and tourism and weakening domestic consumption

due to the coronavirus crisis which have triggered an economic downturn.

The World Bank’s revision is in line with a 5.3% decline projected by the Bank of

Thailand, representing the biggest GDP contraction among the emerging Asean

economies analysed.

This will mark the first full-year contraction since the 2008 global financial crisis,

which resulted in a 2.3% downturn for the economy in 2009.

“The baseline assumes a muted spread of the outbreak in Thailand, a significant

worsening of global growth prospects in 2020 and structural challenges in

disbursing public spending,” the World Bank said.

Thailand’s cross-border trade plunged 9.45% in 4 months (from January to April) to

415.241 billion baht due to the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the country to shut down

its borders with neighbours, according to Keerati Rushchano, Director-General of the

Foreign Trade Department.

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) urged the government to reopen its

borders to travellers to enter the kingdom for business purposes. FTI vice-

chairman Montri Mahaplerkpong said the border closures have suspended

regional trade and business activities.
