According to Thai News Agency, the meeting followed a merit-making ceremony marking the 18th anniversary of the Bhumjaithai Party.

Reporters attempted to inquire about public encouragement amid the oil price crisis. Anutin stated that there is no need to encourage those serving the country. When questioned about public sentiment and the impact on PT gas stations, Anutin questioned how many years ago they left PT, highlighting his detachment from the company.

Pipat echoed Anutin's sentiment, stating his inability to comment due to his departure from PT 23 years ago. He mentioned that current entry into the company would require exchanging identification cards.

On the issue of anti-Phiphate sentiment and public scrutiny over his shareholding in PT, Pipat suggested directing questions to the management. He clarified that his shareholding is typical and expressed uncertainty about responding to public attention, indicating his lack of involvement with the company. Pipat also requested that people refrain from excessive questioning to avoid causing concern for the company.
