» It’s not that I don’t admire Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak. However, when considering the problem of income inequality, he is quoted in the Nov 1 edition of the Bangkok Post: “It’s not the mistake of this government but governments in the past, which were not seriously dedicated to tackling the problem.”
