"Phumtham" reveals that he is preparing to select military personnel to help with the work himself, hinting that he is a veteran, admitting that he is not yet used to being in the Ministry of Defence. Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, talked about changing the lead car after being appointed as Minister of Defense, saying that the ministry will arrange it later, but he does not like having multiple lead cars. When asked about the selection of military personnel to help with the work, whether he would choose them himself or let the ministry choose them, Mr. Phumtham said, 'I would choose them myself.' When asked if former soldiers would be brought in to help, Mr. Phumtham said, 'I don't know yet. Let's wait until the time comes.' When asked again whether veteran officers would be brought in to help, Mr. Phumtham smiled before answering, 'Just a little.' The reporter replied, 'Don't count the age, right?' Mr. Phumtham replied, 'I'll tell you to write a joke.' Mr. Phum tham also revealed that on Monday, September 16, he will start his duties at the Ministry of Defense. He will pay homage to the sacred objects at 10:00 a.m. After that, he will adjust his schedule to inspect the honor guard first and will have lunch with the commanders of the armed forces at noon. He will choose to work at the Ministry of Defense, Sanam Chai, which he is not very familiar with at the moment because when he walks into the ministry, he will see soldiers saluting him, causing him to not be able to salute him back in time.
