He was the one who explained instead. Due to Mr. Suriya Therefore, Rungruangkit Minister of Transport Have a mission abroad

Mrs. Monporn answered live questions. which was asked by Pheu Thai Party MP said that from the roadshow of Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, and Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit Minister of Transport abroad It was found that investors were interested and joined in the discussio
n. Which investors support because they want a shipping channel that can transport goods easily. Most recently, Mr. Settha traveling to Davos Switzerland Have talked with investors in European Union group receive sound Receive the attention and positive response from business people. It has expanded ideas and projects to foreign investors. Which Thailand needs the opportunity to do large projects for Thailand and the ASEAN region.

Mrs. Monporn said that with large government projects there are people who agree and disagree. But every project must listen to opinions and pass laws. In the past, the Ministry of Transport Proposes the establishment of a special committee to study the Land Bridge project. which he is an advisor to the committee Invited people who agreed and saw different opinions to express their opinions. Including studying all dimensions such as security, industry, foreign countries, the environment and for people in affected areas.

‘Development of Land Bridge infrastructure It has an impact o
n people and the environment. It is a challenge that requires planning to solve the problem. Impact in the area Including taking into account the expropriation of land at a price appropriate to the economic conditions for the people living in the area. In addition, the committee went to the area to listen to the people’s voices. It was found that some people objected because they did not want to lose their traditional farming land. Housing rights and local fishing The government does not ignore these objections and is preparing to enact special laws in the area to solve the problem. By taking the opinions of the people into consideration, change will always lead to good things,’ Mrs. Monporn explained.

Deputy Minister of Transport Clarifying questions regarding project study and completion period After the relevant agencies stated that it would take until 2030, the study was divided into 3 parts: 1. Study the feasibility of the project. harbor design Investment style which is responsible by Office of Transpo
rt and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), Ministry of Transport Currently, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is being studied, which will take 1 year. 2. Railway transport construction work, which the State Railway of Thailand is responsible for, is currently in the process of hiring consultants. Laying road markers and expropriating them along with listening to public opinions and 3. Conducting an EIA in the area of ??motorway construction. at the Department of Highways Ministry of Transport This is in the process of proposing to request budget allocation for 2024 to hire a preliminary design consultant.

While asking questions of Mr. Surachet Praveenwongwut The Kao Klai Party list MP asked about the details of the study’s results based on facts, such as shipping lines. Reducing costs in shipping lines that are worth the investment between Land Bridge compared to Malacca Strait Including estimates of shipping vessels that will use the Land Bridge route based on the study results of relevant agencies.
In this regard, he is the opposition party. I didn’t object continuously. But from listening to the information, no factual details were found. But it was only found as information for wishing and dreaming big.

‘From the results of the study, it was found that transportation takes 7-10 days to move goods up and down. And the shipping line must increase the number of ships by 7-10 ships, which is considered more expensive and time consuming. Malacca Strait and other shipping lanes. Therefore, the government must have significant information to show the worthiness of the investment. Two years ago, the NESDB said that the project was not worth it. and proposed reducing the size of the project and investment including community impacts Environmental impact But now the government wants to increase the size. The business information is not clear, but they go hawking. Whether they sell things or embarrass themselves, we have to wait and see,’ Mr. Surachet said.

Mrs. Monporn explained that she will push the Land Br
idge dream to come true and take action. The Land Bridge channel project will reduce time wastage and transportation distance. Because the Strait of Malacca is congested. And there was an increase in the problem of theft of cargo ships. As the transport of goods from China to Australia by sea increases, But many areas of southern China are not adjacent to the sea. If there is a Land Bridge project, there will be more container ships coming to Land Bridge. Because it saves time and costs. Although not all shipping routes But from the study it was found that Routes that transport feeder ship routes that will be economical But in the long run, if the number of containers increases Big ships will come to pick up containers from Ranong Port. There will be more and more.

‘Such as bulk goods, cement or wood transported in containers. If coming to Ranong Port, product costs will be reduced. And when there are more ships, it will cause a response. As for the value of doing a large project, it is confirmed that the co
nsulting company will study every dimension. And companies that will invest must come and study Thai education in terms of feasibility. If it’s not worth it, they won’t invest. But when studied, the impossible issues must be revisited,’ Mrs. Monporn said.

Mrs. Monporn answers questions about bulk cargo transport. and oil transportation Whether the refinery is in the study results or not, whether it is a feasibility study of the project, does not say. What type of goods will be brought onto the route? which is the issue of building a refinery or oil pipeline The OTP used to answer questions from the committee. And if there is to be, there must be education. In the details of the product I would like to clarify that this is only a study of the results that have not yet been completed. If the study is completed, it will report on all dimensions.

Then Mr. Surachet Post a topic asking again and again: When the results of the study are still unclear Why are you selling abroad? While other studies, such as motorwa
ys, have already been carried out. which will be carried out in the upcoming project How many rai of land will the government cede to capitalists and for how long? There is also the issue of waging a war at home in terms of political policy as well. However, the spatial dimension should be taken into account rather than selling dreams of big projects where many projects have been found to be unsuccessful. People are in trouble But the contractor included Please consider carefully whether you should do it or not. It is worthwhile and transparent. More than I want to do

Mrs. Monporn then explained that she accepted that every project had an impact. Therefore, the mechanism of the council is used. Through the committee consisting of all political parties to consider, study, meet more than 10 times and visit the area to listen to the opinions of the people affected Then, after studying, it will be brought to the council. Consider and MPs can give opinions. If the majority approves, the government will consider w
hether there is substance to the project or not. If you set up a project and will do it. Must come and ask for approval from the council. which is the power of the legislature If you find that the budget is too high Can discuss and adjust the reduction.

‘Before doing the project, I studied the details in 10 sections, confirming that there was no hoarding. including logistics systems, design, and environmental impacts Analyze investment patterns Port design 84% environmental evaluation status Concerns of citizens, fishermen, mobilization and joint ventures Each part of the process is currently being studied. The opposition’s concerns will also be taken into consideration in the study,’ Mrs. Monporn said.

“Natcha” urges the police commander to look into the “Auntie Buapan” case herself.

Parliament, “Natcha” asks the court for special consideration. “Auntie Buapan case” is viewed as a deliberate event. Pointing out that people have lost faith. Urges the police chief to come down and look at the case himself.

Mr. Natcha Bunchaiinsawat Progress Party MP As Chairman of the Social Welfare Commission House of Representatives Refer to the case of youths attacking Aunt Buapan until she died. And there is criticism of the youth’s punishment. Today there is still debate about giving children opportunities. that sometimes some actions of children cause the death of others It is an action that goes beyond reason. And there is also a way to conceal the corpse. In this matter, sometimes we cannot use the law here. However, citizens asked for the law to be changed. About child protection laws But the main idea of ??the Child Protection Act is to give opportunities to children who accidentally commit crimes. I don’t want it to be a stigma for the rest of my life. This can be given to children who have not
committed a violent crime.

‘This time it was an act that went beyond reason. Therefore, the prosecutor in this case You can request to the court that the case be tried in a special way. That is, this group of children will be tried at the same rate as adults. The reason being that there have been repeated actions from the day it was in the news until today, with many more victims coming forward to reveal the truth. Each case that is revealed is something that society cannot accept. Therefore, the law still wants to protect other groups of children. Prosecutors have the power to request the court in cases like this. which has been committed repeatedly We may have to raise various cases where there are currently victims. Slowly coming out to provide information,’ Mr. Natcha said.

As for whether the punishment will be the same as for adults, Mr. Natcha said that yes, the punishment will be harsher. and the court can consider that in this action there were several previous events that occurred. which the action
did not result from a mistake It is an act that has become accustomed to doing wrong. This is not an unintentional action but an intentional cause. Maybe it’s because of close people who have helped each other many times. This makes this group of children accustomed to committing crimes.

For the case where it is clarified that Uncle Piak’s black bag covering Auntie Buaphan’s husband It was just a tease. Mr. Natcha said that today the faith of the people towards the deterioration of the police organization and has deteriorated a lot The police tried to say that it was a teasing act. Or joking about deciding cases that involve life and death. Therefore, I think it is very inappropriate.

‘The Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police should seriously speak out about this issue. That in the end, your actions that have been done are said to be teasing each other in a case where someone has been injured to the extent of their life and property. causing many families to be in dire straits And the Public Defenders came
out to say this. I think it’s extremely inappropriate. Society views this as normal. When an offense is committed by the offspring of an official Or famous people in society will have a scapegoat to take away their sins. The National Police Commissioner should come down and look into this matter himself. in order to regain confidence in society,’ Mr. Natcha said.

As for Pol. Gen. Surachet Hakphan, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police Go to the area yourself Whether confidence can be restored or not, Mr. Natcha said that today the murder case has already passed. Therefore, the Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police should come down himself and announce that this case is no matter whose client it is. must be treated fairly

As for the Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police promising to adjust the youth law from 15 years to 12 years, Mr. Natcha said that in the afternoon there would be a discussion about the matter in the committee. He admitted that he wanted separated by case And he himself has talked wi
th the Police Commission that tomorrow he will travel to inspect and talk with Mr. Piak. To end doubts about the work process of officials.

Mr. Chayaphon Sathondee, MP for Bangkok, Progressive Party, as spokesman for the committee considering the budget for the year 2024, spoke about the salvage of the HTMS Sukhothai, saying that he would like to remind the Navy for the second time of the importance and urgency of Submitting a report on accidents and facts that occurred regarding the HTMS Sukhothai The documents he brought were documents from the agency that keeps an eye on all equipment traded between Thailand and the United States.

‘When Thailand stops using American equipment, it must submit a report to the Just Mag Thai agency. Even if the purpose of use is changed, a report must be submitted as well. which will have standards and measures for taking care of all his weapons and equipm
ent As for the HTMS Sukhothai that sank We must submit a factual report to Just Magthai. for him to report back to the government in the United States again. He has demanded this for the second time. The document is dated December 1, 2023, which means that the Navy has not explained the facts to Just Max Thai. Even though it is a duty according to the contract Therefore, I would like the Navy to help expedite this because the inspection report has not yet revealed anything,’ Mr. Chayaphon said.

Mr. Chayaphon said that the report he asked for when discussing the budget in Agenda 1 has not yet been received as well. Yesterday (Jan. 17), he asked questions to the Navy Commander. The commander of the navy responded that it would be the most urgent matter or it was an urgent agenda of the navy. which the Navy said it would expedite since last year But it should be accelerated faster than this. I’d say it’s impossible to just accelerate. And what information must be disclosed or at least provide a clear timeline f
or when the report will be completed?

‘Just Mag Thai warns that the salvage of the Royal Sukhothai ship Unable to lend to the general public Borrowers must first be certified and approved by the United States government. Therefore, we are currently looking for someone to sign a contract to salvage the ship. Even if we can find it, But if you haven’t talked to America yet, it means that the person you found may have to leave. Therefore, it is an important checkpoint that makes the recovery of the Royal Sukhothai ship difficult again. I’m not sure how closely the Navy talks with America. Even though there is a standard of people who can come to salvage the Royal Sukhothai ship. Finally, Just Magthai addresses issues important to the future weapons and equipment of the Thai military. that if we do not comply with the agreement, it will affect all arms trading between Thailand and America in the future So I want the Navy to say that this is an important matter. And I want to quickly find answers for society soon
