Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Thursday dismissed speculation that she would step down in the face of botched flood control.
“I will work to the best of my ability to serve the people in every area without prejudice on political camps or colours,” she said.
Yingluck said all sides should rally behind the authorities in the relief efforts. She was speaking in reaction to criticism that the government failed to control the flooding.
Commenting on compensation payments to flood victims in Bangkok, she said the Interior Ministry and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration would jointly survey the damages before making the payments.
