House meeting collapses yet again on Thursday due to lack of a quorum

13 Sept 21:32 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's House of Representatives meeting collapsed due to a lack of quorum, with only 151 MPs present, 60 short of the required 215.
The insufficient attendance prevented responses to critical interpellations, including one concerning 'grey' Chinese businesses, as relevant ministers were absent or unavailable.
Deputy House Speaker Suchart Tancharoen officially adjourned the session at 1:15 pm after confirming the meeting could not proceed without the necessary number of MPs.
