Phumtham Reveals Why Professor Chen Must Be Chosen as Thailand's Prime Minister
Phumtham Wechayachai, a Pheu Thai party list candidate, posted on Facebook explaining why Professor Yossanan Wongsawat (Professor Chen) should be chosen as Prime Minister in the final stretch of the election. He argues that the critical question is not just who will become Prime Minister, but who can truly move the country forward without leaving anyone behind. Professor Chen sees science, technology, and AI not as fancy words, but as new economic engines to elevate Thailand to a high-value economy, standing on principles of intellectual sovereignty. He believes the country cannot progress if government agencies work in isolation and politics remain divisive. Professor Chen chooses to unite forces, connect different generations and thoughts, and break down bureaucratic barriers. As a researcher, he focuses on solving root causes, driving policies with transparency and precise data. He believes power must come with responsibility, and personal success is meaningless without improving people's quality of life and human dignity.
