00:00 We will find out the answer with the head of the Department of Public Works,
00:04 the Secretary-General of the United States, Mr. Supachai Wongwekin.
00:08 Hello, Mr. Supachai.
00:10 Hello.
00:11 Hello.
00:12 First of all, I would like to ask you, Mr. Supachai,
00:14 what is the reason that the Department of Public Works
00:17 is going to publish books to various departments
00:19 in the Digital Wallet project?
00:21 And what departments will the Department of Public Works publish the books to?
00:26 Yes, I would like to ask the public.
00:30 The Digital Wallet project is of interest to the public
00:35 and to the employees of the Department of Public Works.
00:37 Yes.
00:38 The Department of Public Works has a right to decide
00:42 whether the government can pay the banks.
00:48 So we sent the book to the departments that manage us,
00:51 which are the four departments.
00:53 Yes.
00:55 What departments are there in this project?
00:57 There are the Department of Public Works,
01:01 the Department of Public Works,
01:05 and the Department of Justice.
01:08 Yes.
01:09 Have you sent the books to all four departments?
01:12 We will send the books to all four departments on Monday.
01:16 Yes.
01:16 Is there another department, the Department of Finance?
01:20 Yes.
01:21 What are the main points of the book?
01:26 To be clear,
01:28 this legal battle is between the two sides.
01:35 The three sides that can agree
01:38 and the two sides that cannot agree.
01:40 So we should let the person who directly manages us
01:44 to decide whether these things can be done.
01:48 Yes.
01:49 What is the real status of the Department of Justice?
01:54 As I learned,
01:57 the most important goal is if the director says it can be done,
02:02 the Department of Justice has no reason to object.
02:06 Yes.
02:07 If the director says it can be done,
02:09 we are okay and we are satisfied.
02:11 There is no problem.
02:12 The second point is to see if the Department of Finance is good enough.
02:17 Yes.
02:18 Is there a different opinion?
02:20 How is the balance of the revenue?
02:22 We have to consider all three points
02:24 in case the director says it can be done.
02:29 We have to see if the Department of Justice is good enough
02:31 to take care of this digital project or not.
02:34 Because at the same time,
02:36 the Department of Justice still has a mission to take care of the economy.
02:40 Yes.
02:41 I see that the Department of Justice is worried
02:44 that this incident will repeat in 2057.
02:48 What is the situation in the food delivery project?
02:52 It's different.
02:54 Previously, it was a collaboration.
02:57 It was not a meeting.
03:01 It was a treatment collaboration.
03:04 It was a treatment collaboration.
03:06 We couldn't meet.
03:08 So we used a multi-board to test it.
03:12 At that time, the situation was very bad
03:14 because we couldn't have a collaboration meeting.
03:18 Yes.
03:19 Mr. Supachai,
03:20 regarding the financial situation,
03:22 from a personal point of view,
03:23 as a reporter for the Thor Kasor,
03:27 are you worried about the financial situation?
03:28 Because the money that will be spent is quite a lot.
03:31 More than 170 million baht.
03:33 As I learned,
03:36 regarding the financial situation,
03:37 I want the Department of Finance to be the one to make the decision.
03:41 So that we can be clear
03:45 whether the Department of Finance has enough funds
03:49 and whether it is ready to pay the farmers.
03:54 Thor Kasor clearly recommends the sale of goods
03:57 to help raise the level of the farmers.
04:00 But this time,
04:01 the government will support the digital wallet project.
04:04 What is the situation in the federation's point of view?
04:07 As I learned,
04:10 normally, the funding for Thor Kasor
04:14 comes from the Department of Finance
04:16 and the money is used to pay the farmers.
04:19 But this time,
04:20 the digital wallet project
04:22 is a model that has been used by the general public
04:25 since the age of 16.
04:27 It can be used to help the farmers.
04:30 It shouldn't be used to help the farmers.
04:33 Yes.
04:34 Mr. Supachai,
04:35 suppose the government says
04:36 the money is coming from the farmers.
04:38 But if it is actually money from Thor Kasor,
04:40 will it be able to be distributed to the farmers?
04:43 I don't know how the government will distribute it.
04:48 Normally, when a project is done,
04:50 it is done by the labor union.
04:52 It must be a project that is decided
04:55 whether the farmer is a farmer or not.
04:57 This is an important issue.
04:58 I'm not sure what the government will do about it.
05:01 Yes.
05:02 And from the Minister of Health and Welfare,
05:05 Mr. Chulapat,
05:05 who is the president of Thor Kasor Board,
05:07 do you think the board will have the freedom
05:10 to decide on this issue?
05:12 I still believe in Thor Kasor Board.
05:15 I still believe in Thor Kasor Board.
05:17 Yes.
05:18 And if the conclusion is that
05:21 the money can be saved from Thor Kasor,
05:23 how will the situation change?
05:26 As I learned,
05:28 if the board of directors says
05:30 that the money can be saved from the bank,
05:32 the situation of Thor Kasor itself
05:35 will be considered in terms of
05:37 whether the situation is stable
05:39 and how the money is saved.
05:41 What is the result of the bank's response?
05:44 Because this money,
05:46 the bank has a source of money.
05:48 And the government has the right to decide
05:50 whether to accept it or not.
05:52 Yes.
05:53 When will we expect to receive
05:55 the answer from the four ministries?
05:58 We cannot answer this question
06:02 until we can stand up and ask.
06:05 I think the ministries involved
06:08 will be able to answer this question
06:11 quickly because this is a national issue.
06:15 Yes.
06:17 The government has saved 1.7 million baht
06:20 from Thor Kasor.
06:23 This is a large amount of money.
06:25 Are you worried about the future
06:27 of Thor Kasor's bank?
06:31 As I learned,
06:33 if the bank has notified the government
06:36 that the situation is stable,
06:39 if the situation is stable,
06:42 it can be planned for the future.
06:45 But the most important thing is
06:47 whether the situation is stable or not.
06:50 Mr. Supachai, have you had a chance
06:53 to talk to the bank's executive
06:55 about this issue?
06:58 We will have a meeting
07:01 at 4 p.m. today.
07:04 Who will you talk to?
07:07 Can you tell us at 4 p.m.?
07:09 The executive, MD, and Mr. Supachai.
07:12 Where will you talk?
07:14 At the bank?
07:15 Yes, at the bank.
07:17 What will you say?
07:20 You have a chance to meet the MD.
07:22 As I learned,
07:25 if the government is following the law,
07:28 the bank's situation will be stable.
07:31 I am happy to support the bank.
07:35 If there is any progress,
07:39 we will have a chance to talk to you.
07:42 Thank you.
07:44 Thank you, Mr. Supachai.
07:46 Goodbye.
