Thai official's kind words on Myanmar labour gets thumbs-up from netizens
Netizens on Friday shared video clips of Myanmar people thanking the spokesman of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), Taweesin Visanuyothin, for his words of encouragement.
Taweesin made his remarks during the Covid-19 situation press conference on Wednesday in response to some netizens' accusing Myanmar workers sneaking into Thailand as being responsible for the new Covid-19 wave in Samut Sakhon's shrimp market.
"I would like to ask Thai people to see Myanmar workers as relatives because they came to Thailand to boost the country's economy. Meanwhile, Thais should take good care of these workers when they are sick to maintain our strong friendship," Taweesin said.
Later, several netizens, including Gwyn Chatranon, shared video clips of Myanmar people's appreciation for Taweesin's remarks on their Facebook page. The posts then went viral on the internet, while other netizens also made posts of encouragement for Myanmar workers.
During the Covid-19 situation report on Friday, Taweesin said he had watched all the video clips by Myanmar people.
