Mr. Padipat Santipada, First Vice President of the Council A statement summarizing the details of the House of Representatives' work visit project in Singapore that the expenses from the budget set for 1,493,800 baht were actually spent 917,009.51 baht, considered to be spent approximately 500,000 baht lower than the budget, while the certified budget was set for 200,000 baht, actually spent. 61,742 baht returned to the treasury in the amount of 138,257 baht, which detailed the spending.

The rest was for small expenses. A little
Mr. Padipat said that as for the work details, the report is being compiled. There are 3 issues found. The first issue is that we need to prepare ourselves in terms of legal matters. that will cause the development of the electric train industry in the future He met with entrepreneurs in the battery electric vehicle industry. It was found that if Thailand does not prepare a legal structure to support Developing the EV industry in Thailand is impossible. For example, we still don't have an agreement on electric car charging sockets. Everyone wants to have an electric train. But the charging process has not yet been agreed upon. The body style has not yet been agreed upon. that will use batteries from every manufacturer All of which must use measures that design the legal structure that has been prepared in advance. Entrepreneurs can invest and be able to operate. He will send it to various political parties for consideration.
“The second story is about the challenges of Thai people working at a global level in Singapore. who cannot return to Thailand This is due to many factors, such as the economic system that is not yet ready. Still not attracting foreigners to work in Thailand Because there are no tax measures to support the Open Data problem, there is still not enough to enable companies to invest in Thailand. Third point About Thai workers in Singapore He had the opportunity to visit and found that While we heard discussions about the problems of Thai workers abroad Especially Thai workers who have suffered human rights violations in Finland. Singapore has no report on this matter. Thai workers are willing and intend to stay in Singapore. But they must be highly skilled workers only. and needs support from Thai workers being able to use English better and has a better appearance To make us more competitive in the labor market with higher skills,” Mr. Padipat said.
As for developing the council to be progressive and transparent, Mr. Padipat said that in Singapore the council has a system that is very different from Thailand. Singapore invests heavily in the efficiency of its councils. It was found that the Singapore Council is small. Because the country is small There were only a hundred officers. but can effectively make important decisions for the country Because the quality of the meeting is very high
“Full meeting 1-2 times a month, 3-4 days each time. People can sit in the council all day. To view debates, motions and various decisions of members of the House of Representatives. Therefore, in this council, I will have a part that allows the people to come and sit and watch,” Mr. Padipat said.
Mr. Padipat said that regarding information technology, we cannot do Open Parliament if we do not have a cloud policy. Information in the conference office The stenography office has not been able to modernize and digitize. This matter will be brought to the parliament's ICT committee because investing in the cloud system will bring value in the future. To make the work of members of the House of Representatives as modern as possible and the media will have as seamless access to the council's information-rich website as possible.
Mr. Padipat said about the scandal during the work visit that for the people who went There will be members who follow and return first. The member who followed was Mr. Worapop Wiriyaroj, list MP of the Kao Klai Party, because he was infected with COVID-19. As for the members who returned first, there were 2 people, namely Mr. Natthaphong Ruangpanyawut. List MP of the Kao Klai Party and Mr. Saran Timsuwan, Loei MP of the Pheu Thai Party, both of whom are on duty. But the work viewing schedule has been adjusted.
As for the beer drinking pictures, Mr. Padipat said there was a misunderstanding that he went during the craft beer festival. He confirmed that we didn't go. We went to a labor camp. and met more than 30 workers, we talked successfully Then there was an invitation to go see the places in the dormitory. How did you find them eating? We visited to inquire about their welfare. Thus, the image that was seen appeared. And it's not pictured in the restaurant. But it is already a picture in the cafeteria at the workers' site.
“I was holding a beer can. and collided in different circles This made them more courageous to talk to me. Dare to talk about living conditions It creates an atmosphere of exchange,” Mr. Padipat said.
When asked if there were still people who viewed it as inappropriate because it was a time for a work tour, Mr. Padipat said that his image must be proven by his work. until unable to make excuses Because he drank But it's time to get off work. Their personal lives are ready to be scrutinized. and can be criticized But such matters What will be examined to lead to? What is the reason for the inspection? And inspect every agency equally or not? This was a question that he had to ask back to those who wanted to investigate. But if their image Makes it reliable to work in the House of Representatives And it doesn't create confidence. He was ready to receive criticism.
Mr. Padipat said that he had said before going that he would go as an ambassador and had pictures of drinking alcoholic beverages. Causing criticism as to whether it is appropriate or not. Think of clinking glasses on every occasion. He met with the Ambassador of Thailand. Including meeting with MPs of Singapore There was also drinking wine. which is a drink only It has nothing to do with dignity. in which he drank wine with high-ranking officials and drinking alcohol with Thai people who go to work in Singapore This is a normal situation and does not affect the image in any way.
