The Thai junta’s cabinet gave the green light to a bill to establish a Military Reserve Force (MRF) Committee in order to tighten up calls for military service and set out criminal penalties for employers who refuse to pay their workers serving in the military.   The cabinet on Monday, 7 July 2015, approved the Military Reserve Force Bill to form a ‘Military Reserve Force Committee’, which will have the authority to summon Thai males trained as ‘Nak Sueksa Wicha Thahan’, or Military Reserve Force, for additional training and military service if needed.
