“Natthaphong” Asks for Time to Check 7-Million Slip Expose Alleging Tea Money Transfer to “Anutin” Account, Vows Scrutiny If Factually Grounded, Points to Lack of Public Trust in Government as Cause for Viral Sharing

Today (26 October 2026) at 9:30 AM at Parliament, Mr. Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People's Party and leader of the opposition in the House of Representatives, gave an interview regarding the Facebook page "Godd Dam" posting an image of a 7-million-baht transfer slip, alleging it was tea money transferred into the account of Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior. He stated that he requests time to check additional information first, while reaffirming that if the data is found to be true, it will inevitably face scrutiny from the opposition.

Regarding the case of People's Party MPs sharing the post before facts were verified, Mr. Natthaphong stated that he would also check further details regarding this matter.

When asked whether presenting such information was an act by opposing political parties trying to discredit the government, Mr. Natthaphong expressed confidence that everyone commenting on or sharing the post online intends to inspect the Prime Minister and the government.

Mr. Natthaphong concluded with emphasis that every investigation requires considering in-depth background details as well. However, part of the reason the post spread so rapidly may stem from the government's own past behavior that caused the public to lack trust. Therefore, he asked to await further information verification
