Deputy
Transport Minister: Sansern Wongcha-um
Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongchaum,
58, was former secretarygeneral of the National
Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB).
Born on January 29, 1948, Sansern graduated
from the Faculty of Economics, Thammasat University,
and earned a masters degree in business economics
from Bridgeport University, Connecticut, US.
He resigned from his position as NESDB secretarygeneral
post in January 2002 when he still had six
years of service left, saying he wanted to
spend more time with his family. However,
he was criticised for not getting along with
Thaksin Shinawatra government and it was suggested
that political pressure was his actual reason
for leaving.
Sansern was seen to be keen on mapping a national
plan for mass transit and logistics –
the two key areas where the ministry must
work to ease worsening traffic congestion
and reduce energy consumption.
