BANGKOK, Dec 4 (NNN-TNA) – Thailand’s Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, yesterday, outlined a plan for its security agency, to shift from defensive to proactive operations by next year, prioritising the fight against cyber-crime, illicit drugs, and environmental hazards.
During a policy meeting at the Government House, Anutin, who is also the Interior Minister, told military chiefs and senior officials that, the Internal Security Operations Command must modernise, to address “sustainable and people-centric” security needs.
Anutin ordered an urgent crackdown on call-centre gangs, online scammers, and cross-border drug trafficking. He specifically instructed the agency to upgrade its intelligence capabilities, to intercept “fake news” and disinformation that threatens social stability.
Underscoring the expectation of achieving “tangible results,” Anutin noted, security forces must act to resolve root causes of public hardship, rather than reacting to incidents.– NNN-TNA
