PM Anuthin Backs Anti-Corruption Youth Ambassadors Program

Prime Minister Anuthim Charnveerakul and Interior Minister opened Government House as a special exception to welcome the model anti-corruption youth ambassadors team, supported by the National Anti-Corruption Fund (NACF) on July 3.

Julaphakwat Srisuwanrawong, project coordinator from Sarasas Suksa School, represented the 10-school youth ambassador delegation. The students had the opportunity to sit in the Prime Minister's chair and receive guidance from him. The PM emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity as fundamental virtues in both studies and work, and blessed the young people for academic success and future contributions to national development.

"We feel deeply honored and grateful to the Prime Minister for this special opportunity," Julaphakwat said. "The highlight was when the PM wore the youth ambassador sash alongside the children for a photo at Government House's front steps, demonstrating support for the NACF-backed anti-corruption youth ambassador program, which shares the same goal of developing the nation's future leaders to combat corruption and build a genuinely corruption-free Thailand."

Suphanija Phuwong, a model anti-corruption youth ambassador from Sarasas Suksa School, expressed her excitement: "I was thrilled that the Prime Minister gave us this opportunity, especially when he said he would wear the ambassador sash with us. It's wonderful that national-level leaders recognize the importance of our anti-corruption campaign. I hope our country will be free of corruption in the future, and we as ambassadors will neither engage in corruption nor spread this knowledge to friends nationwide as we grow."

Banjob Piyertham, another youth ambassador from Sarasas Suksa School, shared: "Joining the program has greatly changed our thinking because we've seen the consequences of corruption and prevention strategies for our generation. I've learned that corruption is closer to us than we thought. Before, when I saw news about corruption costing tens of millions, I thought it was far from us. But through this program, I realized it's very close, and we ourselves can fight corruption, become a voice, and set an example for others."

The model anti-corruption youth ambassador program, supported by the National Anti-Corruption Fund, launched 500 youth ambassadors from 10 model educational institutions to raise youth awareness of corruption's harms and impacts. The program develops communication and media production skills to promote honesty and integrity values in society, targeting secondary school students through practical learning workshops. These workshops provide anti-corruption content alongside modern communication and media production training to reach all audiences.
