Speaking at parliament yesterday, Mr Parit said the bill had been fast-tracked ahead of other crucial bills by coalition MPs who cited its urgency and importance.

He described the upcoming vote as a critical test for Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s administration, given its slim majority.

Some coalition members, like the Prachachart Party, have already said they will reject the bill, and other MPs may also vote it down, he said.
