"But if certain criticisms are levelled towards the prime minister, we will counter them, albeit without using harsh words," she said. To round off her studies, Ms Narumon earned a doctorate degree in finance, also from the University of Pennsylvania. "Nobody had told me before [the election] I might eventually become the [government] spokeswoman," Ms Narumon said. However, when she was selected as the spokeswoman, Ms Narumon did not ask why she had been chosen ahead of other more experienced politicians. However, with support from the prime minister, Ms Narumon says she is determined to carry on in the role.
