Thailand's Futrure 2020 road show kicked off

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra today presided over the launch of the "Thailand's Future 2020" road show.

In her speech, she said the Bt2 trillion infrastructure investment, to be completed in seven years, is the biggest in 117 years since the rail network first took shape in the Kingdom.
Over half of the investment is earmarked for the rail network as well as mass transit development. 
The borrowing bill is yet to pass into law. The Opposition has strongly criticised the government for neglecting investment in other key areas like education and public health.
