Thai Enquirer Summary

Political News

As police were preparing to beef up security around the Crown Property Bureau to handle

a pro-democracy rally expected today, the Khana Ratsadon 2020 (People’s Party) group

took to its Twitter page to announce that it will no longer be outside the Crown Property

Bureau.

The group will hold a rally outside Siam Commercial Bank (SCB)’s head office

on Rachadapisek Rd.

In preparation for the protest at its headquarters today, SCB announced

that it was closing its operations at the headquarters for 1-day.

The rally is scheduled to take place from 15:00 hrs today. The group said the

relocation is to avoid a possible clash with other protest movements.

Phaholyothin police have put up around 70 iron barriers and late into the night

were setting up CCTV around the bank’s road.

The move by the Khana Ratsadon 2020 was announced at around 22:30 hrs last night as a

way to avoid any kind of clashes that could have been possible had the protest gone

ahead to be held around the previous location of the Crown Property Bureau.

The authorities had put in pillars declaring that the Crown Property Bureau area is

‘royal grounds’ which means that nobody can hold protest within 150-meters

anywhere close to the property.

If that was not enough, barred wired and containers were all put in place to block

the roads around the Government House and the Crown Property Bureau.

At the same time the Royal Thai Police investigators have issued summons to a dozen of

Khana Ratsadon activists to face charges under the lese majeste law under Section 112 of

the Criminal Code, according to a report from the Royal Thai Police Office.

The 12 activists who are facing lese majeste charges are:

Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak

Anon Nampa

Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul

Panupong “Mike Rayong” Jadnok

Passaravalee “Mind” Thanakitvibulphol

Juthathip Sirikan

Chanin Wongsri

Piyarat “Toto” Jongthep

Thatthep Ruangprapaikitseree

Atthapol Buapat

Chukiat Saengwong

Sombat Thongyoi

These protest leaders had until November 30 to acknowledge the charges over

comments made at protests on September 19 and 20, according to a police source.

Yesterday, plain clothed police from the Metropolitan Police Bureau armed with

an arrest warrant from the Ubon Ratchathani provincial court apprehended Piyarat

Jongthep or Toto, head of the Khana Ratsadon’s security guard team, for

breaching Section 116 of the Criminal Code and the Computer Crime Act due to

his speech given on a rally stage in Ubon Ratchathani province in August. Piyarat

was arrested and taken to the Saladaeng police station.

Passarawalee “Mind” Thanakitvibulphol, one of the key leaders of the student movement,

came out to say this morning that if embattled Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha resigns

and allows the parliament to elect anyone within the parliament to take the position then

they would be willing to accept the notion and would be willing to allow the charted to be

drafted with the Constitution Drafting Committee that has been approved by the

parliament.

Meanwhile at the Democrat Party’s headquarters yesterday, Thaworn Senniam, Deputy

Transport Minister and Democrat Party MP for Songkhla, came out to accuse Progressive

Movement core leaders Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and Piyabutr Saengkanokkul of

being the masterminds behind the youth-led prodemocracy rallies.

Thaworn said he had evidence that the 2 figures used young people as a tool to

drive their reform goals which equal the toppling of the monarchy.

Thaworn said he had a video clip showing the use of hate speech by Piyabuytr

while giving a speech at the University of London on April 11, 2016. Thaworn

said the clip showed that Piyabutr accused His Majesty the late King Bhumibol

Adulyadej of exercising influence over judges. Thaworn said Piyabutr’s speech is

a distortion of fact since the late King in his address to judges on April 24, 2006,

did not give them any instructions.

Thaworn also accused Thanathorn of making speeches in several occasions and

through his book “Portrait Thanathorn” in November 2018 which stressed the

need for reform of the monarchy, adding that the founding of the Future Forward

Party, which was dissolved by the Constitutional Court, was intended to achieve

that goal.

The Deputy Transport Minister called on police and security officials to take legal

action against the 2 Progressive Movement leaders, accusing both of them of

pulling the strings behind the current anti-establishment protests and seeking

sweeping reforms of the monarchy.

In a separate development, Progressive Movement leader Thanathorn

Juangroongruangkit reportedly denied all charges filed by the Election Commission (EC)

over his alleged media shareholding when reporting to police investigators at

Metropolitan Police Bureau sub-division 2 yesterday.

Thanathorn said he is confident that he had sufficient evidence to show that he

completed the transfer of shares in V-Luck Media Co Ltd prior to applying to be

an MP.

He mentioned the Constitutional Court’s ruling acquitting government MPs of

also holding shares in media companies, particularly the case of Pada Vorakanon,

a Palang Pracharath MP for Bangkok. She was not found guilty of a media

shareholding. She had testified that the media firm she held shares in was already

closed down.

Thanathorn said his media business had also been closed. Intention should be

taken into consideration in the matter. He said he had proof of the sale of his

media shares.

Police investigators are expected to send Thanathorn’s case to prosecutors on

December 9th

for them to decide whether to take Thanathorn’s case to the

Criminal Court or not.

Yesterday, army chief Gen Narongphan Jitkaewtae came out to rule out a chance of a

military coup to end the current political crisis after helicopters hovering above on the

city days and nights since Monday.

The army chief said the increased helicopter activity heard over several areas of

Bangkok was part of security arrangements for the motorcade of His Majesty the

King and Her Majesty the Queen.

The helicopter hovering around was reportedly went on for hours in the skies over

central Bangkok, sparking rumours of an imminent coup on social media.

However, Gen Narongphan came out to dismiss a coup rumour as “pure fantasy”

as he advised reporters to get a lot of rest and not fall victim to fake news or they

could be “held accountable” for the consequences of such speculation.

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam came out to explain matters relating to the

lifting of martial law and who holds the power to declare martial law.

Wissanu reportedly had a meeting with the National Security Council (NSC)

secretary-general in which he said to discuss the extension of the state of

emergency for another 45 days to control the COVID-19 pandemic. He insisted

that the extension of the emergency law had nothing to do with the Khana

Ratsadon-led major rally on November 25.

Wissanu also dismissed rampant speculation of the enforcement of martial law to

rein in pro-democracy rallies. He said His Majesty the King holds the power to

declare martial law.

Parliament Speaker Chuan Leekpai announced the decision of the 3 whips---government,

opposition and Senate---to forge ahead with the formation of a reconciliation committee

comprising 21 members.

At the yesterday meeting in Parliament attended by Pornpetch Wichitcholchai,

government chief whip Virat Rattanasate and opposition chief whip Suthin

Khlangsaeng, Chuan announced that the panel will comprise 2 representatives

each from the government, government MPs, opposition MPs, senators, the

protest group, as well as other concerned groups.

The panel will also have nine highly regarded academics and experts - three from

the Council of University Presidents of Thailand, one from the Council of

Presidents of Rajabhat Universities, one from the Council of Presidents of

Rajamangala Universities of Technology, and four experts with experience in

previous reconciliation efforts.

House Deputy Secretary-General Kunnawut Tantrakul will serve as the panel’s

secretary.

Sutin, however, said he was not sure if the proposed panel will by supported by

all stakeholders but suggested that now its structure is set, the opposition camp, as

well as the protest group, should reconsider joining it after previously declining

the invitation.

The opposition chief whip also said that the panel’s immediate priority is to find

ways to defuse the tension but it will also work on long-term solutions to the

political conflict.

Protest leader Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul has been named as one of the world’s

100 most inspirational and influential women of 2020 by the BBC.

Panusaya, a leader of the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration group,

made international headlines in August when she read out a 10-point manifesto

for monarchy reform at a Bangkok rally.She is among three Thais on the BBC’s

“100 Women of 2020” list.

The other two are Kotchakorn Voraakhom, an urban landscape architect, and

Cindy Sirinya Bishop, an actress, model and TV host who also campaigns to end

violence against women.

Economic News

Embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is forced to shift his meeting venue

with US business leaders and executives from Government House to the Ministry of

Foreign Affairs Head Office Building in fear of political demonstrations.

According to the original schedule, Gen Prayut was set for a semi-online meeting

with executives of the US-ASEAN Business Council which will see the US

Ambassador to Thailand being present at Government House.

He will also meet with around 88 Thailand-based American business executives

of 38 US companies from 8 major industries including the energy, basic

infrastructure, commerce and financial services. The subjects on the agenda will

be investment and international trade. They are also expected to offer ideas on

how investing in Thailand can be made easy for foreigners.

Measures to stimulate domestic car sales including the trade-in incentive will be put up

for consideration at the Centre for Economic Administration Situation (CESA)’s meeting

on December 2, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong

Punmeechaow.

Danucha Pichayanan, secretary-general to the National Economic and Social

Development Council (NESDC), earlier said the new car sales stimulus measures

may include a car trade-in scheme worth 100,000 baht for individual car owners

who can use the expense as an income tax deduction, as proposed by the private

sector. The scheme would be applicable only for owners of cars older than 10

years, or those who purchase electric vehicles (EVs).

The Public Debt Management Office (PDMO) director-general Patricia Mongkhonvanit

came out to dismiss rumours of the Finance Ministry’s plan to take out an additional loan

of 3 trillion baht next year, the sum is deemed the biggest sum in the Thai history. As a

result, the country’s public debt level will soar above 9 trillion baht.

Dismissing the rumour as untrue, Patricia said the Ministry has plans to seek new

borrowing of merely 1.47 trillion baht, leaving a deficit of 623 billion baht with a

budget of 550 billion baht earmarked for economic and social rehabilitation.

The PDMO has been asked to consider seeking external loans to diversify lending

sources amid higher demand from the private sector amid the Covid-19 crisis,

says the Finance Ministry. External loans should be obtained from international

financial institutions as opposed to loans borrowed from overseas money markets,

says Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith.

Arkhom reassured that the public debt-to-GDP ratio at 49.35 per cent remains

well below the public debt ceiling of 60 per cent of GDP.

Thai shares slid 18.80 points or 1.32 per cent to close at 1,401.63 points yesterday with

total transaction of 102.837 billion baht. Investors’ mass sell-offs of Thai shares for a

profit-taking led by local institutions were net sellers of 4.008 billion baht of Thai shares

while individual investors scooped up 3.514 billion baht of Thai shares while there were

no other major negative factors to weigh down the market.

The Business Development Department reported yesterday new business registrations

totalled 5,538 in August, with combined registered capital worth 14.3 billion baht, a

decrease of 17% from last year.

On a monthly basis, the number of new business registrations dropped 2% from

July, while registered capital fell 14% from the previous month.

The top three sectors for new business registrations in August were building and

construction (548), real estate (284), and logistics, transport and delivery services

(162).

Sorada Lertharpachit, deputy director-general of the department, said most

business operators remain worried the pandemic will continue to cripple the

economy, with a recovery led by the government's spending and stimulus

measures, investment acceleration and virus impact relief plans that have been

gradually introduced.

Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, the founder of Thai Beverage, now ranks 125th

richest man

in the world, with a net worth of 15.2 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Sarath Ratanavadi, CEO of Gulf Energy Development Plc (GULF), ranks 203rd

place, with a net worth of $9.86 billion.

Elon Musk has overtaken Bill Gates as the 2nd richest man in the world, as per

Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Tesla co-founder’s net worth soared to $127.9 billion. Musk edged past

Bill Gates. Only Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is still the planet’s wealthiest

man.

Bangkok Dusit Medical Service Plc (BDMS) yesterday confirmed decision to dispose all

its ordinary shares in Bumrungrad Hospital (BH) worth around 18.613 billion baht amid

rumours that Dr Pongsak Viddayakorn, a major shareholder of Principal Capital Plc

(PRIN), has scooped up all of a 22.71 per cent stake in BH.

According to BDMS’s filing with the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), it will

sell more than 180,715,806 shares at 103 baht apiece, representing 22.71 per cent

of Bumrungrad Hospital’s total issued shares,

Narumol Noi-am, BDMS’s Senior Executive Vice President, said the purchaser

confirmed the availability of funds for the share purchase and BDMS is expected

make the initial sales of 90,500,000 shares on Thursday.

The sale of the remaining shares is expected to be completed by December 31.

BDMS has noted, however, that the sale is still uncertain and subject to the

availability of the purchaser’s funding.

Dr Pongsak is one of co-founders of Bangkok Hospital Medical Centre. He is a

veteran property and hospital developer. In 2017, PRIN started to shift its focus

on managing private hospitals and property development.

General News

Thailand logged 2 new cases over a 24-hour period. Two foreigners test positive for

Covid-19 in quarantine hotels, according to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation

Administration (CCSA).

A 5-month old Indian baby, which arrived in Thailand on November 11,

tested positive on November 16 in an alternative state quarantine hotel in

Bangkok after it suffered from fever and nausea.

The other case is a 31-year-old Pakistani man arrived in Thailand on

November 16 after taking a connecting flight in Dubai and tested positive in

an alternative state quarantine hotel in Samut Prakarn province.

The total number of confirmed cases in Thailand increased to 3,922 (961 in state

quarantine), 90 are in hospital, 3,772 have recovered and been discharged and 60

have died.

Thai people will get their first jabs of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca

and the University of Oxford by mid-2021 at the earliest, said Dr Nakhon Premsri,

director of the National Vaccine Institute (NVI).

The vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford will be

produced locally at the manufacturing plant of Siam Bioscience Group, located in

Pathum Thani.

The Thai government is working with AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford

to jointly produce the vaccine at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant of Siam

Bioscience Group near Bangkok. Siam Bioscience Group was selected by the

UK-based pharmaceutical firm as its regional partner to produce the vaccine for

the Southeast Asian region.

Dr Nakhon told media on Tuesday he was confident that the British

pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca will get vaccine approval soon from the

United Kingdom's Food and Drug Administration after the announcement about

the vaccine was made early this week.

Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin yesterday confirmed that some the 11.5 tonnes of

white powder seized from a warehouse in Chachoengsao on Nov 12 is trisodium

phosphate, not ketamine as previously stated.

Trisodium phosphate is an inorganic compound used as a cleaning agent, builder

(water softener), lubricant, food additive, stain remover and de-greaser.

The minister blamed preliminary test results of the seized substance using test

kits for confusing the drug suppression officials handling the substance, saying as

the liquid in the test kits used on the substance turned a purplish colour, the

substance was assumed to be ketamine at the time of the Nov 12 warehouse raid.

But when later tested again in a proper laboratory by the Office of the Narcotics

Control Board (ONCB), at least 66 sacks of the seized substance were confirmed

to be trisodium phosphate, and the rest were being tested again, said the minister.
