george Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Sore throat silences PM BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will not be speaking to the media for a week. He is suffering from a sore throat. Mr Thaksin avoided the podium at Government House on his arrival yesterday, telling reporters gathered outside Santi Maitree Building that he had a sore throat and intended to keep quiet in front of the cameras for one week. Mr Thaksin, who has been facing heavy criticism over the government's zoning plan for the South, told reporters it was a holy Buddhist day. He suggested calm solemnity would be the right attitude to maintain. He was a little ahead of himself. The biggest holy day of the month is today, Makha Bucha Day. --Bangkok Post 2004-02-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 As always,something reported about him in the media has annoyed him so he "punishes" the media by not talking to them. But being spared from hearing him on the air for a whole week would be a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
