10,000 opinions daily support government’s national reform programme
BANGKOK, July 4 (TNA) – Some 10,000 people every day are telephoning the Abhisit government's special call centre to register their opinions under the 'Six Days, 63 Million Opinions' campaign launched to elicit the public's ideas for social reform, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday.
The numbers are considered significant, the prime minister said, and he believed it could reflect overall public opinion. Most problems raised by the people are related to the economy, household concerns, jobs, income and indebtedness.
The government will solve problems which can be resolved immediately, he said. Specific difficulties will be forwarded to agencies concerned. Not all problems can be tackled but all opinions are important and the government will do its best to lay out the system and move ahead.
The government launched its 'Six Days, 63 Million Opinions' campaign to collect public sentiment on national reform from July 1 though July 6, Thursday through Tuesday.
The designation '63 million' represents Thailand's population which is now close to 63 million inhabitants.
The campaign is a part of the government's national reform road map after the premier set up two committees to work on persisting economic and social problems which have been blamed as the cause for the demonstrations of the anti-government Red Shirt movement.
As the campaign kicked off on Thursday, the people can express their feelings and opinions by telephoning the hotline number at 02-304-9999 free of charge, or send letters to P.O. Box 999, Government House, Dusit District, Bangkok, Thailand.
They can also send their thoughts via electronic mail at the prime minister's website www.pm.go.th/forward.
The accumulated opinions will be assessed and the results, branded by the government as "Blueprint for Thailand Reform", will be presented to the public on January 1, 2011 as a new year's gift to the Thai people. (MCOTonline news)
