PM Anutin says he plays it by ear on possible House dissolution

Today 04:00Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is considering an early House dissolution to pre-empt a potential no-confidence motion from the opposition, stating he "plays it by ear."
While pledged to dissolve the House by January next year, Anutin indicated he might act sooner if the opposition's censure debate is not genuinely focused on government scrutiny.
The PM is prioritizing "quick big wins" to restore public confidence, addressing economic problems, cross-border security issues, and launching welfare initiatives like the co-payment scheme and support for state welfare cardholders.
Anutin's government is also working to resolve household debt for low-income borrowers and combat transnational online scam networks, advocating for harsher laws and stricter enforcement.
