2月4日，泰国副总理兼国防部长普坦表示，将于当天下令对泰缅边境的缅甸地区断电，并警告如有怠慢者将被调职。

On Tuesday, Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai ordered the Provincial Electricity Authority, or PEA, to cut off power to suspected scam call centers in Myanmar, citing the severe effects on Thailand and damage to its image.

Phumtham cited a 1996 Cabinet resolution that allows the PEA to suspend electricity without prior Cabinet approval.

The decision followed a statement by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who instructed Phumtham to consult with the National Security Council for a detailed action plan.

The move by the National Security Council aims to tackle human trafficking by call center scam gangs that ensnare foreign victims and force them into telecom fraud. Thailand has been used as a transit spot for these illicit activities.
