#Thailand #parliament has finally passed the 3.2 trillion THB budget bill for this fiscal year. 257 MPs voted for the bill, 1 disagreed, 3 absentions. This issue has been in limbo & needed a re-vote after constitutional court ordered it as illegal proxy voting was detected prior

After #budget bill passed, #Thailand #DPM #AnutinCharnvirakul as a government representative told the House, administration will spend the money efficiently, in an honest manner for the welfare of the citizens. Adds the budget will be used to help develop/enhance nation's economy

#Thailand opposition #parliament members boycotted the re-vote of the #budget bill & refused to cast their vote. The opposition bloc didn't agree with the constitutional court's ruling of ordering a re-vote, believing this falls outside of the court's responsibility
