Re: “No delay to digital wallet plan”, (BP, Jan 10). There has never been so much double talk on the legitimacy of the government’s proposed digital wallet plan in the media. An example of a critical problem was when Thailand was facing financial bankruptcy in 1997 and had to borrow from the IMF. Unfortunately, it is impossible for the council to define in a clear-cut way what is a critical problem. The alternative is to drop the plan, which is politically suicidal, after drumming up great hopes.
