“Monporn” admits it’s the initials M. after PPRP reveals involvement with The Icon

"Monporn" admits it is the initials M. after the PPRP exposed involvement with the icon, clarifies that they have accepted the case of the victim and have mediated to receive the money back. Confident that there are no angels in Pheu Thai, look back at your angels because our party does not have any. Ms. Manop Jareonsri, Deputy Minister of Transport and MP of Pheu Thai Party as a former member of the Consumer Protection Committee, along with Mr. Prasertpong Sornnuwat, MP of Prachachon Party as a former member of the Consumer Protection Committee, spoke about the case of the Palang Pracharath Party releasing the initials M. which is related to the The Icon case in the previous parliament. She said that the initials M. that were referred to should be from 2 people: Mr. Mana Lohavanit, former MP of Chaiyaphum, Pheu Thai Party as the chairman of the Consumer Protection Committee, and herself as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection. She also mentioned that on December 12, 2023, a citizen came to complain to the committee about applying to be a member of the distributor of The Icon Company and paid more than 200,000 baht. They were supposed to receive 1,500 tubes of toothpaste, but only received 50 tubes. Therefore, they were afraid that receiving products that did not match the contract was a scam. Therefore, they came to complain to the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB), but there was no progress, so they came to complain to the committee. The committee investigated the truth and invited relevant agencies that affect law enforcement to acknowledge and proceed with the process. Therefore, when the matter was sent to the Subcommittee, Therefore, the relevant persons were invited to provide clarification, which took 1 month after receiving the complaint. There was mediation as requested by the petitioner to return the product and request that The Icon Company refund the full amount. After the mediation was completed, the results were reported to the main committee that the petitioner di d not have any objections and had written a letter to withdraw the case from the committee. Ms. Manop confirmed that there was no shelving of the matter because the committee must be relied on and has expedited the refund to the petitioner. She emphasized that it would take only 1 month to consider the matter. As for the Palang Pracharath Party trying to connect with the committee and also connect with the Pheu Thai Party, is it believed that the goal is to shift this issue to the Pheu Thai Party? Ms. Manop said that she did not know, but in the Pheu Thai Party itself, as an MP, the person who gave the news did not understand the system because the committee's power is not to decide right or wrong. At that time, she was an opposition MP and the Palang Pracharath Party was the core party of the government. The Royal Thai Police must investigate whether a company like this is defrauding the public or not, and the FDA must investigate the quality of the products. It is not known what the purpose of the person who released the news in this manner is, but the person who released the news must know deep in their hearts that they are broadcasting live while they are the leader of the government. Why did they let the problem continue and cause the people to suffer to this extent? As for Boss Sam, he has left the Pheu Thai Party for a long time. As for his business, it is a personal matter that has nothing to do with the party. As for the part that is linked to the Sam Mitr group, it is known that Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Minister of Public Health, has already given an interview that normally bad people will use the names of good people as a shield for their own wrongdoings. Therefore, we must look back at ourselves and see what we have done to the people. As politicians, we must dare to confirm our innocence, especially as I was the chairman of the subcommittee at that time. I was able to investigate the facts and return the money from The Icon Company to the people. At present, the Prime Minister has ordered the pursui t of the wrongdoers. When asked if there was any talk that angels might be in the Pheu Thai Party, Ms. Manop said that there was none. There are only MPs and executives here. The Pheu Thai Party has people at its heart. She asked them to look back at their angels. There is no need to think that angels might be in the Pheu Thai Party. Angels are probably in the sky. As for whether legal action will be taken against the Pracharath Party because there has been an attempt to shift the blame to the Pheu Thai Party, Ms. Manop said that if the Palang Pracharath Party at that time was a government sector, why did it let these companies go free and deceive the public? Personally, she does not know the boss of The Icon Company in any way. Mr. Prasertpong Sonuwat, a party-list MP from the Prachachon Party and a member of the Consumer Protection Committee, confirmed that when he worked with Ms. Manaporn, they worked straightforwardly. The news was unfair to both Mr. Mana and Ms. Manaporn. Ton insisted that the work on the committee was straightforward and sought the truth by summoning both the agencies and the petitioners until a conclusion was reached. He believed that if the government at that time had been concerned that an incident like this had occurred and taken care not to let it happen again. Source: Thai News Agency
