“I apologised to the deputy prime minister for a breach of etiquette. “I still maintain 100-per-cent trust in the prime minister and this government,” Teerakiat added. As a result, the deputy prime minister has been under fire not only for his unusual wealth but also for allegedly concealing his assets. Earlier yesterday, Teerakiat stood firm on his comment but reiterated that the matter “should not create further conflicts”. Teerakiat kept himself shut in his office for the morning before heading to Government House for a private meeting with Prawit and Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha.
