The case of Rewadee, former Thai athletics gold medal queen, remains a heated topic on social media after she publicly shared political opinions that drew widespread criticism, particularly concerning her views on corruption and party selection.
The controversy began when a user expressed support for the People's Party, citing Thailand’s long-standing corruption problem lasting over 50 years. Rewadee responded by saying that corruption can be reduced if honesty is instilled starting from the individual level—oneself, family, and society as a whole.
Rewadee added that personally, she is more concerned about the issue of the 'nation’s demise' than corruption. She firmly declared she would not vote for the People's Party and would base her political decisions on the principles of 'Nation, Religion, Monarchy.'
Recently, amid the drama, Rewadee posted a clarification reaffirming that she has never supported or agreed with corruption. She stated, “No matter how you read it, I never said I support corrupt people or think corruption is better; I only said I am less afraid. The media really knows how to twist it.”
This issue continues to be closely watched amid ongoing criticism that shows no sign of easing on social media.
