Representatives of skytrain employees have asked the government to pay the 50 billion baht debt the company accumulated in running the Green Line extension owned by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).

They rallied on Tuesday at Chamaimaruchet bridge, by Government House, holding up placards before submitting a letter addressed to the prime minister through the government complaints office.

Employee representative Seksak Hoonsa-ard said the company, Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC), was owed the money by the BMA.  Employees were worried their livelihoods would be affected if the company had to continue carrying the burden.
