Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha discusses issues with reporters including the missing memorial plaque at Government House in Bangkok on Tuesday. Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said the plaque issue was not so important as the economy. He said he really had no idea where the memorial plaque was because the Royal Plaza was not an area under the supervision of the Defence Ministry. Regarding the arrest of an activist who complained about the missing plaque, Gen Prawit said he was creating confusion at a time when the nation needed unity. Deputy national police chief Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said police could not handle the missing plaque case because the plaque did not belong to anyone.
