Anutin has ordered ministers to clear their schedules, especially the 18 ministers facing debate, who must attend parliament sessions. He stated that only two ministers might be absent at most, as those targeted must explain and hear opposition suggestions, criticisms, and allegations. Asked if he would attend throughout, Anutin said certainly, except December 8 when Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim visits Thailand, though he can still follow the debate from anywhere. On opposition expectations, Anutin said the opposition must perform its duty fully while the government will answer questions, doubts, and allegations with witnesses and evidence. He expressed confidence the government can respond, as its policy is clear that all actions must benefit the country and people.
