PM accuses political elements of distorting entertainment complex concept

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra blames political elements for misrepresenting the entertainment complex project, promising to clarify its true objectives during the upcoming parliamentary recess.
She admits the government's communication has been insufficient, clarifying that the casino component represents only about 10% of the complex's total activities.
The PM argues that scrapping the project would be a significant missed opportunity for Thailand to boost tourism and the economy, lamenting the singular focus on the 'casino' aspect.
She urges better public communication to emphasize the project's goal of generating revenue for national development, not promoting legal gambling, and calls for opponents to prioritize national interest.
