October 16, 2025, Mr. Chaichanok Chidchob, Buriram MP, Bhumjaithai Party As the Minister of Digital Economy and Society (DE) spoke about cracking down on scammers after the establishment of the Steering Committee for the Prevention and Suppression of Technology Crimes. But questions were asked about the government’s inaction. By insisting that the government is not silent. Because it is important that the Ministry of DE has made great progress.
As for the appointment of the committee by the Prime Minister Be the president It is a good thing that all the engines work together so powerfully. If looking at the list of committee members There are many agencies, including military agencies. The goal is to suppress this matter within 4 months.
As for whether to suppress them all or not, Mr. Chaichanok said that there are many factors, including foreign affairs, involved in Cambodia. which has international restrictions Whether it’s a scammer, a call center, a criminal, if born in Thailand The police have full authority and responsibility. But if you cross the border Thai police and soldiers will not be able to do anything.
But there is one thing that he has ordered me to study. and prepared to present to the committee is to study the new law ‘Active Cyber Defense 2025’ that has just been issued in Japan. which many countries do in a similar way It is a law that can respond to cyber threats. For example, there is a cyber threat against us. We can have a dedicated team. Or the committee can approve a story and hack it back. It does not break any international law. Vietnam does it and Japan does it. At the end of this month, they will also sign a cooperation agreement at the United Nations.
When asked about the case of the opposition revealing that a character like Mr. Ben Smith has a relationship with people in the government, such as Capt. Thammanat Phromphao, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Chaichanok said that in depth like this he cannot answer what the facts are. What can be done must be taken and examined. But when the Prime Minister A committee has been set up. Everyone must gather facts and send them to the directly responsible agency for action. Maybe it’s not just the Ministry of DE. But it also includes police officers.
The part where it was noted that When politicians are involved This causes delays in solving the problem of scammers. Mr. Chaichanok said that he could not answer, but in the past we have always walked fully and will continue to walk fully. If asked if there are any obstacles? Since he announced himself, he has encountered many obstacles. I suspect the same. People who think well, do good, and work to their full potential end up being more screwed in every way than before. It’s something to think about. But I couldn’t conclude anything. We have no evidence But if there is evidence, we will take full action. and groups that observe and present If there is evidence, it should be clearly presented. Let’s work together faster.
When asked that the United States is now seizing the assets of a Bitcoin businessman. Will Thailand take action or not? Mr. Chaichanok said that he would go all the way to the end. The Prime Minister set up the committee. It will probably continue to move forward.
As for the progress of investigating the 40 million bribe money in exchange for not moving forward with the crackdown on scammers, Mr. Chaichanok said that for clarity Now, I’m not sure if it’s a scammer or not, but the website I checked is considered to be. Whether you link the scammer or not, you don’t have to separate them first. Please wait to see the progress of the inspection.
When asked again that Mr. Prasert Chandraruangthong, former Deputy Prime Minister and former DE Minister Asked where the inspection had been, Mr. Chaichanok said he was waiting to see. At first he thought it would be 30 days, but now he knows it’s sooner than that. Please wait to see it soon.
