Samut Sakhon governor quits after his transfer request was rejected
Today 13:56Key points summarised by AI
Samut Sakhon Governor Veerasak Vijitsaengsri resigned after his request for a transfer was denied, choosing early retirement to be with his family.
The governor cited deteriorating health, including persistent fatigue and respiratory issues post-COVID-19 infection, as the primary reason for seeking a less demanding post.
His attempts to transfer to provinces like Suphan Buri or Ang Thong were rejected due to political objections and suitability concerns from his superiors.
Veerasak concluded that Samut Sakhon requires a healthier leader and, accepting his unfulfilled dream of full government service, decided to prioritize his well-being.
