Bangkok: Thai Sang Thai launches the 'Sue Me' campaign to transform Thai politics, "dismantling the system of receiving policies from the central government and moving towards collaborative design," drawing on the needs and problems of the people from the field to implement solutions that directly address their needs.
According to Thai News Agency, the Thai Sang Thai Party held a significant event at Kiak Kai Intersection, led by Lieutenant General Paradorn Pattanathabutr, Mr. Udomdej Rattanasathien, along with Mr. Worawut Towirat and the Thai Sang Thai team. They launched the "Sue Noi" (A Complaint) campaign, marking a new dimension in process-oriented political innovation that focuses on applying modern innovation management principles to public policy-making.
With the primary objective of breaking down the structural limitations in Thai politics, which are often centrally designed and lack connection to the real needs of people at the local level, this campaign is positioned as a bridge to foster collaboration between academics, the private sector, and local communities. The goal is for them to jointly define problems and find sustainable solutions through both online and offline platforms.
The campaign to implement a system begins with identifying real problems on the ground, designing solutions, and testing policies in pilot areas before evaluating their effectiveness and scaling them up wider. This represents a transformation of politics from a command-based approach to a collaborative design one, shifting citizens from policy recipients to co-creators, and empowering political parties to act as coordinators to ensure that problems are solved effectively and efficiently.
In addition to policy innovation, the Thai Sang Thai Party places great importance on cracking down on corruption. Lieutenant General Paradorn emphasized stringent anti-corruption measures, including pushing for the death penalty as the maximum punishment, collecting 50,000 signatures from the public to remove independent organizations that condone corruption, and establishing a citizen-based National Anti-Corruption Commission, a crucial mechanism for ensuring transparency in government operations.
Meanwhile, Mr. Udomdej invited the public to participate in this campaign to be a part of driving the country forward themselves, thereby creating a participatory political culture in a tangible way under the concept of building Thailand together, which places the voice of the people at the heart of social change.
