Srettha urges Cabinet members to aim for “quick wins”

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Monday tried to dispel any doubts about his Pheu Thai Party’s commitment to fulfilling its campaign promises by declaring that “we are going for broke.”

Srettha was using a Thai phrase that is popular in high-stake gambling while addressing a meeting of the 16 Cabinet members belonging to Pheu Thai Party on the eve of the oath-taking ceremony.

The former real estate tycoon urged the Cabinet members to do their utmost to meet voters’ expectations.

“Don’t ever say that we cannot get things done. We were all elected to accomplish things,” he said.

While acknowledging difficulties ahead, Srettha said they should set priority for what they intend do accomplish.

“Do whatever you can to achieve some quick wins,” he said.
