Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva made a call through his Sunday television show "Confidence in Thailand with PM Abhisit" on Channel 11 for senators to pass the three election-related bills to facilitate the next general elections.
Mr Abhisit said Senate Speaker Prasobsuk Boondej had tabled the three bills, endorsed last week by the House of Representatives, for the Senate to deliberate on Monday, April 11.
He believed everything would go as planned and the House of Representatives would be dissolved in the first week of May to make way for the general elections.
On flooding in the South, Mr Abhisit said the cabinet last week agreed to initially provide 5,000 baht for each of the families affected by by flash floods and deluge or whose houses were damaged in mudslides.
The affected families were expected to get the money after the Songkran Festival. The government expected to spend about 3,000 million baht for this purpose, he said.
On the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) meeting in Indonesia on April 7-8, Mr Abhisit said Thailand had told the world that the Thai-Cambodian conflict could be resolved by the two counties.
He said the exact date for the 8th General Border Committee (GBC) meeting had not been discussed as it was not an urgent matter. The Foreign Affairs and Defence ministries had agreed that the GBC could be held in either Bangkok or Phnom Penh, he said.
The prime minister reaffirmed Thailand's stance of not wanting Indonesian observers to be deployed in the 4.6 square kilometre disputed area on the Thai-Cambodian border. The foreign ministries of the two countries would hold talks to reach a settlement on this matter.
