next week The Bangkok Council will have a summary of solutions. and will take the matter to the Ministry of Interior because according to Section 44, the Ministry of Interior must be the one to present the matter to the Cabinet. But if we were to separate the debt into 2 parts: the debt for the installation of the signaling system (EandM) from the debt for the operating and maintenance (OandM) wages. The advantage of EandM is that if it can be owned by us, it will make us More bargaining power. However, we will have to wait for the Bangkok Council again.
