[Rumfoord]

The Nation have only a small photo with the caption: PM Abhisit Vejjajjiva gives a bouquet of flowers to Jittanart Limthongkul, at the launching party of ASTV-Manager daily newspaper Tuesday. Jittanart, owner of the newspaper, is son of Sondhi, core leader of People's Alliance for Democracy.//

screenshot above. but not more on the story.

but it seems pretty newsworthy and important that Abhisit was there and handed over flowers. at the Thai Government Website http://www.thaigov.go.th is a huge photo gallery about that event. i have no idea why the Nation keeps rather quiet about it.

below few photos taken from http://media.thaigov.go.th/pageconfig/albu...y=&aid=4137

Somsak Denounces Matichon Newspaper for Support for PM Somchai

UPDATE : 24 September 2008

Somsak Kosaisuk expressed his discontent over a political analysis which was published in the

Matichon newspaper earier this week. The People's Alliance for Democracy leader said the

article’s claim that the concept of new politics has failed before it’s even been implemented is

simply wrong

.

PAD leader Somsak Kosaisuk began his address on the PAD stage by thanking the protesters for their

presence and efforts to help rid the country of corruption. He stressed that the claims that new politics is

impossible to implement

is false

.

Somsak cited an example of the PAD’s

accomplishment

, which is its

success

in forcing former PM

Thaksin Shinawatra to flee Thailand. He said the PAD was able to drive out the Thaksin administration

when the Opposition was unable to accomplish the task.

The PAD leader encouraged the PAD protesters to stand firm in their belief and explained that

victory is

near

but the PAD must

unite and fight

for their objectives without any ulterior motives.

Somsak also lashed out at an analysis published yesterday in Matichon newspaper. The article in the

Thai daily indicated that new politics is impossible to implement. Somsak said the

PAD respects the

media

but what Matichon has published cannot be considered as an objective analysis.

Somsak revealed that the conduct of

Matichon founder

Khanchai Boonpan became immediately

questionable

when he sent a

bouquet of flowers

to congratulate the appointment of

PM

Somchai

Wongsawat last Friday. Somsak questioned Khanchai’s

neutrality

in presenting news while

obviously

trying to secure the new

government’s favor

.

What the hel_l Abhisit

the Times; London wrote :

"With his brilliant mind, impeccable good manners and lovely family,

Abhisit Vejjajiva - or 'Mark Vejj' as he is known to his British chums

from Eton and Oxford - sounds like an almost painfully decent chap.

He would make an ideal best man, a dreamy son-in-law, and a

perfect dinner party guest."

oops,edit: I read your comment as a question: 'What is Abhisit?' now i see it isn't one.

You're suggesting a cover-up so then why does the Nation mention it at all, and why does the government have a huge online photo gallery of the event?

What on earth is Abhisit doing?

Favours can be repaid in many ways, but putting him front and centre like this is ludicrous.

How did they get the strings hidden so well under his suit?
