Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Friday that she declined to declare the state of emergency for fear that it would affect confidence of foreign investors.
She said all government agencies could still coordinate efforts to tackle the flood crisis without the need to enforce the emergency decree.
She said the government also received full cooperation from the armed forces to handle the flooding.
“I am not certain whether the declaration of state of emergency would improve the situation,” Yingluck said.
