Mr. Suthi Sukosol said that the “National Strategy on Prevention and Suppression of Corruption Phase 3 (B.E. 2560 – 2564) has set targets for a Zero Tolerance & Clean Thailand. In the future, Thailand will aim to be a country with moral standards, creating a society that does not tolerate corruption. The Ministry of Labour, as a government agency, must drive this strategy towards tangible results, by fostering and developing personnel to understand morality, ethics, and discipline, as well as foster such personnel to be aware of their assigned duties, to serve people on the basis of morality, ethics, honesty and lawfulness according to prescribed guidelines. By adhering to good governance principles, it will promote the Ministry of Labour to be transparent and corruption-free, capable of driving the mission to achieve the goals.”
Mr. Surapol Ploysook added that “Corruption is a chronic problem in Thai society. Therefore, it is imperative that all sectors work together to solve such problems and build awareness of morality, ethics, discipline, and honesty, especially the government sector, which is responsible for driving government policies and serving the people. Building a good conscience in the service of government officials or staff is key. Therefore, the concept, attitude, and promotion of knowledge used in the work should be developed, along with morality, ethics, discipline, and honesty. The executives of the Ministry of Labor have foreseen the importance of this matter.”
“This seminar focuses on government officials and officials under the Ministry of Labour’s agencies. It fosters knowledge and understanding about promoting morality, ethics, sufficiency, discipline, volunteering, and acknowledging the rules and regulations of work. Such efforts will increase the efficiency of the training cost management and practical guidelines for preventing fraud risks in order to boost awareness of corruption. The training is honoured by lecturers from various departments including Former Advisor to the Labour Minister Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jak Punchoopet, Moral Center (Public Organization), Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the Comptroller General’s Department.
