Bangkok: A Member of Parliament from the Democrat Party, Chai Dechdecho, has raised concerns over an oil tanker's journey that included an unexpected stop in Singapore before arriving in Thailand. Dechdecho has called upon the government to clarify the situation, questioning the transparency of the oil delivery process.

According to Thai News Agency, Chai Dechdecho, who also serves as a Deputy Leader of the Democrat Party, has cast doubt on the government's assertion that it had successfully negotiated with Iran for two ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and reach Thailand. Originally scheduled to arrive on April 6th, one of the ships, carrying 180 billion liters of oil, allegedly unloaded 70 billion liters in Singapore before making its way to Thailand on April 8th with only 110 billion liters.

Dechdecho suspects that Bangchak, the company involved with the oil tanker, might have sold a portion of the oil in Singapore, raising questions about the authenticity of the government's claim regarding the negotiation and delivery process. The MP is urging the government to clarify whether the oil was intended to enter Thailand in its entirety and to inform the public if a portion was indeed sold elsewhere.

The matter has stirred public interest and scrutiny, with many seeking a transparent explanation from government officials regarding the oil tanker's detour and the subsequent handling of the oil delivery.
