THAILAND – The junta council’s Minister of Labour met with Myanmar workers in Thailand and asked them to send money home and pay taxes.
The junta Minister arrived in Thailand to discuss labour issues and visited factories and workshops employing Myanmar workers to persuade them.
According to the December 8 newspaper by the junta council, the Minister visited a seafood factory in Surattani to meet the Myanmar workers and asked them to send back money home via official bank transfers and to pay taxes.
It was also mentioned that the Myanmar workers were informed to pay 2% tax and to send back 25% of their pay home.
The junta labour minister is also said to have visited Mahachai where there are many Myanmar workers.
He reportedly also asked the Thai employees and labour departments to cooperate with the junta council to make the Myanmar workers send their pay back home during the trip.
The terrorist junta council is running out of foreign reserves after having countless economic sanctions imposed on it and is working to have the salaries of Myanmar expat workers flow back into the country.
In order to achieve that, they have been pressuring the workers to pay taxes and send back a quarter of their pay home.
In addition, the junta central bank also removed the fixed exchange rate on December 5 and announced that all trades will be conducted on market rate.
Meanwhile, the junta spokesman claimed that allowing trades to be conducted on market rate will facilitate the inflow of the salaries of workers abroad into the country.
