“We have looked closely at each village on the island, and we now have a list of the people who are in trouble in every village,” Governor Narong said.

 

“We are coordinating with many organisations in handling this issue to help those affected, people who have lost their jobs and their income due to the COVID-19 situation,” he explained.

Don't think i'd describe losing your job, your income, your dignity and your house as a 'difficulty'

Just an idea freeze all payments with no interset until vaccination is complete and the country gets back to some semblance of normality, and government use your vast reserves to pick up the cost of schooling.

How do you expect people to get out of debt without an income, a bag of rice and a couple of other things aint going to reduce it
