OPINION
In a recent public appearance, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra sparked controversy with remarks about tackling cross-border call centre scams.
During a campaign speech in Chiang Mai, Thaksin claimed he was coordinating with authorities in Cambodia and Myanmar to crack down on these operations, even suggesting he would intervene directly if necessary.
This has raised eyebrows, with former MP Thepthai Senpong questioning Thaksin's audacity in assuming authority to address issues beyond national borders - roles typically reserved for the government.
Thepthai expressed surprise at Thaksin's assertive stance, particularly since he no longer holds any official position, and warned of potential diplomatic repercussions.
Notably, senior Thai police officials have echoed Thaksin's claims, validating his information and indicating ongoing investigations align with his details.
However, Thepthai argues that law enforcement should swiftly handle such matters independently, without external interference.
He also urged Thaksin and his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, to reconsider their approach to governance, emphasising that Thailand is a nation, not a business venture of the Shinawatra family.
Thepthai called on citizens to remain vigilant against actions that could entrust the country’s fate to familial interests, reported Naew Na.

6 dogs, of which 3 are Thai ridgeback type, 2 Retriever types and 1 wire haired dachsund. They get boiled rice with chicken once a day in the evenings, with dry food available all day in bowls.They seem to do very well on this diet. Strong, and full of energy. They are all up to date with their jabs, of course.
