He said on Sunday that a committee has been formed to investigate and it is expected that the investigation will be completed in seven days. He said, ‘Thailand will soon find out why the building collapsed. It was just made and should have been designed to withstand the earthquake.
The Home Minister said, ‘The earthquake was of intensity of 7.7 but more than 95% of the buildings were faced. Only the state audit building collapsed. This building was new. Therefore, it should have faced earthquake. He said that the investigation will focus on architects, construction supervisors and builders. In this case, Thai and Chinese partners have to share responsibility.
