PM Abhisit: Government will work to benefit all Thai people
BANGKOK, Jan 1 (TNA) - Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Friday vowed that his government will work for the benefit of the whole public, while urging the Thai people to observe the New Year messages of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej emphasising the importance of working for the common good.
The premier comments as he went to the Royal Palace in the Thai capital to sign an official book expressing New Year wishes for His Majesty the King.
Mr Abhisit said the king has always stressed the importance of working for the common good and said that if Thais can follow his advice, the year 2010 will definitely be a good year for the Thai people, while asserting that his government will also serve the public interest.
King Bhumibol, who has been hospitalised at Bangkok’s Siriraj Hospital since September 19, initially with a lung infection and fever, said in his New Year message televised late Thursday that Thais who love their country should dedicate themselves to carrying out the tasks they have before them to the best of their ability.
Most importantly, faithful Thais must realise that the common good is long-lasting and benefits everyone, the monarch said. The common good creates happiness for individuals and the country as a whole as wished by everyone.
Meanwhile, the premier also thanked concerned officials and the public who helped maintain security during the New Year celebrations.
"However, there are still a number of road accidents," said Mr Abhisit. "I urge the public not to be reckless during their trips in this period; I wish them safe trips."
Regarding the challenges of the government in the year 2010, the premier said that facing problems and obstacles is normal. Some challenges may be easier to solve, while others may be hard, but he and his government will do their utmost and hope to receive cooperation from the Thai public. (TNA)
