Govt should learn lesson from Map Ta Phut: Pridiyathorn
Former Finance Minister MR Pridiyathorn Devakula said the government should learn the lesson from the Map Ta Phut problem.
He added that the governments in the past four years neglected the problem of the effect of the industrial development on public health.
On September 29, the Central Administrative Court issued an injunction against proceeding
with 76 projects slated for Map Ta Phut and nearby areas in Rayong with a combined investment of about Bt400 billion.
Petrochemical companies are brainstorming to ease difficulties arising from the injunction against 76 industrial projects, while the government has not yet filed an appeal to allow the projects to proceed.
