Focus on competenceThailand will lose the chance to lead disruptive changes in the digital and education sector if Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha continues to allow political jockeying for cabinet quotas dominate his decision on the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle. Prime Minister Prayut has insisted he has the final say on the reshuffle and there would be no "outsiders" in the cabinet line-up. Although Gen Prayut said the reshuffle is his call, it's no secret Gen Prawit also has a big say in the matter, as the "big brother" of Gen Prayut when they served in the military. These politicians know that Gen Prayut may ignore their requests at first, but he will listen to Gen Prawit's advice. Unfortunately, Gen Prayut has not showed decisive leadership by choosing the most most suitable candidates to fill in the new cabinet vacancies.
