With Thailand's Social Security Board (SSB) election set for 27 September 2026, academic Sassathram Thammabusadee clarifies ballot procedures for voters confused by candidate disqualifications and number changes (candidate 45 replaced by 38). He emphasizes that inflation-eroding fund security stems more from corruption, poor investment practices, and conflicts of interest than demographic aging alone. To address this, he calls for reforms across three dimensions: benefit adjustment, serious anti-fraud measures, and efficient investment management. The "Progressive Social Security Team" urges both employers and insured workers to turn out and vote to prevent "appointed voices" from dominating the board's direction.
