BANGKOK: Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai confirmed on Tuesday that the Thai power supply to Myanmar 's border region will be cut today, saying that the Provincial Electricity Authority has authority to do so.
Phumtham, who chairs the National Security Council , emphasised that this issue caused severe impact to Thailand, claiming that more than 500,000 Thais have become victims of call centre scams in June 2022-2024. He confirmed that PEA has authority to cut a power supply if it affects the country's security, without waiting for an order from the NSC or Cabinet.
He said he was uncertain if corruption was aiding the supply of electricity to Myanmar, but said graft would not be tolerated.
