Thailand's first female PM given morale support
BANGKOK, August 9 (TNA) - Former Thai prime minister Banharn Silpa-archa said on Tuesday that he believes newly-elected Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, the country's first female premier, will prove a sound performance for public and national interests.
Banharn, who is now chief of advisors to the leader of the coalition Chart Thai Pattana Party, praised Yingluck for her inaugural speech to the public, immediately after she was officially appointed the Kingdom's 28th prime minister in a royal command endorsed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Monday evening, saying that it was impressively constructive, particularly a promise to create happiness among the Thai public; while eliminating their troubles.
The veteran Thai politician dismissed recent comments that the new young, female Thai premier might not be strong in mind enough to handle and weatherize national issues, arguing that Yingluck could probably perform her premiership duties better than her male counterparts.
Banharn, who has been banned from politics for five years in a previous court order, acknowledged that men and women are now equal in their social status and career opportunities in the present international community, suggesting that the new Thai female premier, however, quickly materialise her electoral promises to the waiting public, including new minimum wage and salary hikes, to 300 baht a day each for local workers and to 15,000 baht a month for new graduates, and to address the problem of rising costs of living.
