It was just another regular day for Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, until it wasn’t. Thavisin was on an agenda, and it was a crucial one. He had embarked on a mission to the Akkhie Prakarn plc location in Samut Prakan province, a renowned spot in the tireless war against drug trafficking. Standing there in the eye of the storm, he witnessed the incineration of approximated 25 tonnes of illicit substances, a rather monumental destruction of narcotics.
The burning of 12 tonnes of methamphetamine pills, 11 tonnes of crystal meth, and 418 kilograms of heroin was indeed a sight to behold. The destruction was symbolic of a war waged by his government, a war on drug abuse, particularly methamphetamine pills. Having had narcotics issues on his government’s national agenda since its inception, Mr. Thavisin presented a strong stand against this decentralized enemy. He aimed at a methamphetamine-free tenure, pushing the boundaries of anti-drug enforcement policies.
“This role of a prime minister is more than a badge of honor to me. It’s a beacon of leadership that guides the collective determination from diverse organizations and the common people to fix the narcotic issue. I pledge to stay committed and consistent with the updates and progress in this battle,” Mr. Thavisin passionately expressed.
The prime minister’s resolutions echoed loudly as he announced, “Within one year, the narcotics problem must show drastic reduction. As for methamphetamine pills, our government will ensure their total eradication. You see the process in action today, that’s our approach.”
The vehement PM unveils his strategy. His government’s motto is quick action, from immediate confiscation of the drug dealers’ assets to swift obliteration of seized narcotics. “Prolonged periods of seizing drug dealers’ assets fortify them, remitting them to resume their illicit business. That needs to change,” he declared.
Breaking down the extensive game plan, Mr. Thavisin elucidated, “Drug dealers are hard-core offenders who need to be dealt with decisively. Their despicable act is more than a matter of imprisonment. It’s their assets they prize most, and that’s what we target. I call for immediate asset seizures, avoiding manipulative transfers that favor them.”
In addition to the harsh and punitive measures, Mr. Thavisin also underscored the importance of rehabilitation for drug addicts, the promotion of drug prevention drives, and the intense crackdown on drug smuggling activities.
This event marked a memorable day in the mirror of history, showcasing the government’s sturdy resolve against drug abuse. As the flames danced, devouring the stockpile of narcotics, the sight envisioned a brighter, cleaner future for the citizens of Samut Prakan province and the entire nation, embodying Mr. Thavisin’s powerful promise.
