King urges Cabinet members to follow example of late father

The King’s remark came after the PM led 12 new cabinet members – seven current members who have been relocated, four new faces and one returning former colleague – to have an audience with the King for a swearing-in ceremony. 
After the new members took an oath of allegiance, the King blessed the cabinet members for mental and physical health and happiness. The King, who succeeded his father, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej who died in October, also asked the Cabinet to study and follow the late king’s words and actions.
“Over the past 70 years, [the late monarch] had been kind and done a lot of works. And he had given his royal speeches and shown the action steps on a wide range of the topics. I would ask you to study and analyse his royal wish and his royal duties,” said the King. 
The King also wished his father to bless, guide, and protect the cabinet members, adding that to follow and recall King Bhumibol’s words and actions would be auspicious for life. 
His Majesty also asked the new Cabinet to discuss, find solutions to problems together and cautiously perform their duties.
“Every work has problems and burdens which are the test. And the test will become our lessons,” he said.
