Key Quotes

Anutin Charnvirakul

"If the project receives good feedback, as mentioned, it helps circulate money in the economy. We must keep adding 'plus' features; it won't be the same format."

ถ้าโครงการได้รับการตอบรับที่ดี อย่างที่บอกเป็นการช่วยกันทำให้เม็ดเงินเข้าไปมีการไหลเวียนในระบบเศรษฐกิจมากขึ้น เราก็ต้องหาเรื่องพลัสไปเรื่อยๆ คงไม่ใช่ออกมาในรูปแบบเดิม

Anutin Charnvirakul

"There will be some problems. For these projects, nearly 30 million people benefit; some may be satisfied, others not. We will collect and survey satisfaction."

ปัญหาต่างๆ ก็ต้องมีบ้าง เรื่องโครงการเหล่านี้ เรายังประโยชน์ให้กับประชาชนตั้งเกือบ 30 ล้านคน อาจมีคนพอใจ ไม่พอใจ ก็ไปรวบรวมสำรวจความพึงพอใจ

Anutin Charnvirakul

"As for the case where not all 30 million rights are registered, this money will be used for other benefits if there are urgent necessities under the emergency loan decree, as we borrow according to usage."

ส่วนกรณีคนลงทะเบียนไม่ครบ 30 ล้านสิทธิ เงินส่วนนี้ก็จะนำไปให้ประโยชน์อย่างอื่น หากมีสิ่งจำเป็นเร่งด่วนภายใต้กฎเกณฑ์ พ.ร.ก.กู้เงิน เพราะเรากู้ตามจำนวนที่ใช้
