Bangkok: “Sergeant Singh” is taking a hard line on the law under the government’s 120-day period, implementing it practically and going to the actual area. Sergeant Singh vowed to stop making phone calls to clarify matters, saying, “In my era, I want what’s right, not what’s pleasing.” He will continue to strictly enforce the law under the government’s 120-day term, implementing real-world actions and field visits. He emphasized the importance of three key forces: civil servants, entrepreneurs, and communities, as the heart of driving Thai industry towards stable and sustainable growth.
According to Thai News Agency, Petty Officer 1st Class Yossingh Liamlert, Deputy Minister of Industry, delivered a special lecture titled “Using Industrial Estates to Drive Thai Industry Towards Sustainability” and announced a “Reliable Industry Strategy” under the “Quick Closing – Quick Opening – Dependability” approach. This strategy aims to enhance public administration to be more streamlined, transparent, and support entrepreneurs effectively. He stated that his industrial management strategy requires thinking outside the box, but not outside the law. He must be ready to facilitate entrepreneurs, work swiftly with the private sector, and strike a balance between the law and business growth.
The Deputy Minister also outlined his vision for the 120-day work framework, emphasizing “real action, real fieldwork” to drive policy outcomes toward tangible results. He emphasized that Thailand is ready in all aspects, including infrastructure, geography, and an environment suitable for investment. We will drive Thai industry forward with the power of honest civil servants who work for the people under superiors who are ready to act as a protective shield for all parties within the framework of the law.
Petty Officer 1st Class Yotsingh spoke about the three pillars of success for the industrial sector, including civil servants, entrepreneurs, and communities, who must work together to drive the country forward. No civil servant wants to be at odds with entrepreneurs. If entrepreneurs do the right thing, civil servants are ready to act as mentors and advisors, enabling industrial entrepreneurs to move forward steadily alongside their communities.
Petty Officer 1st Class Yotsingh also made it clear that from today onwards, anyone who attempts to call this number to clear the air is urged to stop trying. He added that his era is an era of justice, not an era of favoritism or the use of connections to circumvent the law.
“If there’s an illegal or regulatory violation, I won’t accept a phone call to clear things up to keep things quiet. Both civil servants and business owners must adhere to the legal framework. Speed of implementation and transparency must go hand in hand. Close when there’s a mistake, open when there’s a correction, and create a truly reliable system,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Yotsingh.
The Deputy Minister presented plaques and certificates of honor to eight outstanding eco-industrial estates and businesses. He left a final message for the award recipients: “Awards should not be mere display items, but should serve as inspiration for entrepreneurs to further develop their environmental stewardship and sustainable community coexistence.”
Petty Officer 1st Class Yotsingh concluded by stating that the “Quick Closing – Quick Opening – Reliable” policy will be a key driving force, creating jobs, opportunities, and building confidence in the Thai industrial sector, ensuring stable, tangible growth and guaranteed results within 120 days.
