BANGKOK: Defence Minister Gen Natthaphon Nakphanit said he has instructed the armed forces to tighten security along the borders and in the three southern border provinces as the election approaches, while urging the public to remain confident that state agencies are prepared and that rumours suggesting there will be no election are unfounded.
Speaking on Thursday (Jan 22) at the Veterans Organisation of Thailand, Natthaphon addressed the issue of opening military units as venues for political parties to present policies and campaign.
