Bangkok: "Pakorn" reveals a 1 baht reduction in fuel tax, awaiting approval from the new Cabinet. He stated that his policy focuses on legal reform and improving people's lives, though he admits uncertainty about proceeding after his experience in politics.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Pakorn Nilapraphan, the prospective Deputy Prime Minister, discussed the policy to reduce the excise tax on fuel by 1 baht. He mentioned that the detailed project is not yet finalized, and the Ministry of Finance has only presented the principle of the proposal. A formal request and details are yet to be submitted. If the Election Commission's permission is required, it would involve using the central budget. Pakorn personally believes it would be prudent to wait for the new cabinet's formation, expected in a few days.

When questioned about the draft of the government's policy statement to parliament, Mr. Pakorn expressed understanding that the party had prepared it. He provided guidelines on legal development and reform, anticipating the party might revise the wording. He aims to utilize his previous vision from his time in the Council of State to enhance people's quality of life.

Mr. Pakorn also remarked on his approach to work and media interactions, admitting he is not skilled in giving interviews. While comfortable addressing non-political questions and explaining legal matters, he confessed to being unaware of political conflicts. Regarding his work approach, he acknowledged uncertainty due to his lack of experience as a deputy prime minister, unsure of how to act in the role.
