Subject : The Resignation of the Chairman of BCP
The Bangchak Petroleum Public Company Limited (BCP) wish to
announce the resignation of Dr. Aran Thammano as the chairman of BCP
with effect from this date. Traditionally, a retired official of the
Ministry of Finance will not take the position of the chairman in a state
enterprise under the Finance Ministry, unless done so under certain
necessities. As it happened, the former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry
of Finance and the Minister of Finance has requested Dr. Aran to assist BCP
in its endeavour to put into practice the model of + self sufficient economy
in the rural community, a project which is to be undertaken jointly between
BCP and the Mongkol Chaipattana Company Limited. At present, the model of
+self sufficient economy" has been successfully implemented with the
operating of the Lemon Farm shop, which sells community products
produced by the various rural communities.
Consequently, the Ministry of Finance has proposed the
appointment of Mr. Vuthichai Pongprasit, the Inspector-General of the
Ministry of Finance, as the new chairman of BCP.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours sincerely
