The proposal to form the committee was submitted by members of parliament representing various political parties. The motion underwent deliberation during a House meeting chaired by House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha.
During the debate, United Thai Nation Party list MP Chatchawal emphasised the financial losses incurred due to Thai citizens travelling to neighbouring countries for gambling. He said he initially proposed the legalisation of casinos 30 years ago but had faced significant opposition.
