The MP said the bidding process could cost taxpayers 68 billion Baht in losses.
However, MPs from Bhamjaithai argued that the discussion would involve people outside parliament & it could interfere with ongoing court rulings before coalition parties voted not to hear it.

Surachet said the process was unfair since the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand canceled the 1st round of bidding and changed the conditions to award the concession to Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) in the 2nd round.
If the 1st round was not canceled, the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) would have won the concession and the subsidy would have been 9.67 billion Baht.
With BEM, the subsidy would be worth 78.28 billion Baht, or 68.6 billion Baht more. (4/4)
