Opposition Questions Government Over Proposed Border Patrol Police Allowance Cuts

Opposition MP Romadon Panjor has formally requested that the government clarify a circulating document that proposes reducing allowances for Border Patrol Police (BPP) by 25% to 44%. The issue emerged following the discovery of an official circular that sparked concerns regarding the financial welfare of officers stationed in sensitive border regions. In response to the controversy, Paradorn Pattanatabut, a key government figure, has categorically denied that the current administration has any policy in place to implement such reductions. The discrepancy between the circulating document and the government's official stance has created uncertainty regarding the future compensation of these security personnel. For residents and travelers, particularly those in border areas, the stability and morale of the Border Patrol Police are often viewed as essential components of regional security. While the government maintains that no such policy exists, the origin and intent of the circular remain under investigation. Stakeholders are now waiting for a formal government explanation to confirm whether the document was an administrative error, a draft proposal that was never authorized, or a misunderstanding of internal policy. Further updates are expected as the government addresses these concerns in the parliamentary session.
