Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his cabinet members on Tuesday received a message expressing moral support for the government from His Majesty the King.

The prime minister and each minister received the message individually in front of a portrait of His Majesty in the Command Building at Government House. 

Initially, no details of the message's content were released, only that it was related to the oath Gen Prayut and his cabinet made during the ceremony before the King on July 16 at Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall in Dusit Palace.

The prime minister also declined to answer reporters' questions about contents of the royal message after the ceremony.

However, he later showed a copy of the royal message after it had been framed. It gave moral support for the government to perform its duty so that the pledges in the oath of allegiance will be achieved.

Gen Prayut, however, is under fire for omitting the final sentence of the oath during the swearing-in.

The Office of the Ombudsman on Tuesday also resolved to ask the Constitutional Court to rule on a university student's petition that his rights were violated by the prime minister's failure to make the full oath.
