Samak becomes pale when shown his picture taken with Prapass

Thailand

Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej became pale when reporters showed him his picture s which he took with Field Marshal Prapass Jarusathien following the massacre of student activists on October 6 1976.

"Is that me? I didn't know I took this picture. I didn't know when I post for this picture and why," Samak exclaimed when seeing the picture.

Reporters showed him the picture when he was giving a weekly interview to Government House reporters.

The reporters asked him to comment on the opposition's plan to demand him to tell the House of his role during the October 6 event.

Samak insisted that only one student was killed at Sanam Luang and said he could not remember why he told Thai students in France that many students were killed.

Samak gives wrong information about eucalyptus

Samak gives wrong information about eucalyptus

Quote "As a farmer from Australia, I do know about eucalyptus trees and their effect on farming. PM Samak says, "The roots will also act as fertiliser for the rice."

This is total nonsense.

Eucalyptus trees suck the guts out of the land. The roots release a substance that inhibits the growth of other plants; not even grass grows around eucalyptus trees.

So where does he get his information? From businessmen who are looking for a quick return, without caring for the future and the environment? This is misleading information.

DSI chief to be transferred

Febuary 22, 2008

My take: This is so normal. Whoever rules, they are going to put their people in the position where they can take advantages or make decisions that benefit the ruler. This is Thailand!!! Never mind the system. Rulers define the system. EOF

Justice Minister Sompong Amornwiwat has signed an order to transfer the director-general of the Department of Special Investigations to become acting secretary-general a new agency of the ministry, a well-informed source said.

The source said Sunai Manomai-udom would become acting secretary-general of the Office for the Prevention and Suppression of the Corruption by Government officials.

The order will take effect on Monday.

The source said Sompong would also make Thawee Sodsong, secretary-general of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board acting DSI director-general.
