BANGKOK, 17 September 2013 Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has visited the “Smart Lady Thailand” project, which has been organized by the Thai Women Empowerment Funds, at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce.
During her visit, PM Yingluck had a chance to learn about the project, which was aimed at opening up opportunities for women to demonstrate their leadership and strong personalities. Not only should smart women be good at academic matter, but must also be good-hearted and have all-round knowledge, said the Premier.
A contest will also be held to find candidates who meet all the requirements to be the so-called “smart ladies”. The contest will be held in the form of reality show, like any other contest where all contestants are supposed to learn about one another.
She added that people regardless of who they are or where they’re from have to respect one another, adding that Thai women have the strength to take the lead, and she hopes they will will use their fortes properly and contribute to the society.
