Thai MP Sira courting controversy but flirting with disaster

 

 

Although new to Parliament, Sira Jenjaka has lost no time in stealing the limelight from veteran MPs – drawing publicity for his outspoken views, belligerent talk and ability to take centre stage in one controversy after another.

 

Sira’s latest attention-grabbing act came earlier this month, when he upstaged the media circus surrounding the censure motion against 10 Cabinet members by displaying a gold amulet he wears that bears the image of his Palang Pracharath Party leader, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan.

 

Sira, who chairs the House committee on law, justice and human rights, made headlines for claiming the man himself had given him blessing to wear the amulet – though Prawit denies any knowledge of the accessory or the MP’s penchant for it.

He probably borrowed it from him. That's apparently a thing amongst friends.

Prawit prefers the Rolex Daytona's and Richard Mille watches, not peasant Rolex Oyster Perpetuals!!
