Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thailand's youngest premier, requests public understanding and time for her new Cabinet to work before judgment.
She addresses the 'nepo baby' label for her cabinet, acknowledging some members have family ties to politicians but emphasizing their determination to serve the country.
Paetongtarn, daughter of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, secured the premiership with significant influence from her father and will present her government's policies to parliament soon.
She urges the public to focus on the government's commitment and reason-based criticism, rather than placing undue importance on family connections.
