The state enterprise policy office (SCP) says a merger of MCOT and Thai PBS is not possible because they operate under different laws. The Finance Ministry will take MCOT's fix and a review of eight state enterprises (including the Bangkok Dock, the Liquor Organisation and the Warehouse Organisation) to cabinet, covering possible dissolution, merger or restructuring. No date is given. For a typical SME this is background only; if you deal with these agencies as a supplier or customer (e.g., liquor or warehousing), watch for the cabinet decision.
