Ekanit Reveals Why He Left a Promising Government Career: To Help the Nation Overcome Crisis

Ekanit Nitithantapras, a campaign assistant for the Bhumjaithai Party, revealed his unexpected entry into politics during a major speech. He explained that he left behind six years of potential government service and the opportunity to become Ministry of Finance Permanent Secretary, motivated by his mother's concerns and his own worries about Thailand facing another economic crisis. Recalling the Tom Yum Kung financial crisis, he emphasized that Thai people often recognize problems but rarely take action. He highlighted warnings from three global credit rating agencies about Thailand's fiscal instability and committed to taking immediate steps to prevent potential economic collapse. Through various economic stimulus projects and careful financial management, Ekanit claimed to have improved Thailand's economic outlook, raising projected Q4 growth from 0.3% to 1.8%. He stressed the importance of avoiding populist policies and ensuring efficient government spending to protect future generations.
