He added that a key reform he sought to advance was restructuring the Social Security Board so that its chairperson would be elected from among board members, rather than automatically being the labour permanent secretary. Dr Prommin said the party's reform agenda aims to turn the SSF into a true pillar of economic security for insured members. Pheu Thai also proposed shifting investment management to independent professionals to rebuild confidence and prevent interference, he said.
