Your Charter, Your Say

CHAROEN LAOTHAMATAS, PRESIDENT OF THE THAI RICE EXPORTERS ASSOCIATION 

 

My life would remain the same. For an exporter, if a government can maintain peace and order in the country, then it is good for exports.

Many chronic problems have been solved and several problematic laws fixed. 

I prefer this government because once fraudulent politicians take power, they will again harm the country. 

 MARK MASON, A BRITISH BUSINESSMAN WHO HAS LIVED IN THAILAND FOR SIX YEARS

 

I would not say it would change my life a great deal. But I would like to keep up to date with key constitutional changes in the country, so I can plan ahead from a business perspective. 

I would like to see fair, open and transparent voting in Thailand and hope that it would be given a chance as much as possible prior to the referendum.

 PAKORN AREEKUL, A MEMBER OF NEW DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT 

 

Not just my life, but the life of every Thai person will change. We will see a real parliamentary dictatorship. Our elected representatives will not function as our true representatives. People will not have a chance to take part in Thailand’s development. People will become inferior and not the real owners of the country like before. 

 WISIT ITTHIWARAPORNKUL, A BUSINESSMAN IN PHUKET PROVINCE 

 

The general public will remain happy as usual. Politicians and their canvassers who want to take advantage of the election and access to power will not be happy if this draft sails through the referendum because it comes with clear anti-corruption measures.
