[PanzerJohn]

I couldn't stop laughing at this one! You have got to admire the guys brazen nerve.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has offered to personally oversee a new national selection committee to ensure "the greatest transparency and fairness" in the selection process of foreign investors for the government's 1.8 trillion baht worth of mega-projects.

Speaking to about 300 foreign diplomats, international organisations and private sector representatives to give an overview of the projects, Mr Thaksin said all proposals would be scrutinised by the committee which would be set up to deal with the selection process.

"The consideration of your proposals will place a great emphasis on transparency and openness.

"This will be done through a national selection process which I shall oversee myself to ensure fairness," he said.
