"He (Thaksin) also said that good business is very important for the country as good profit brings more money (tax) in government's coffer which helps in improving the condition of the people who have fewer resources."

Shinawatra said that one must give up his business interests before entering politics

glad he never used business interests when he was PM.

With his Ample Rich shenanigans, we also know that he never gave up his business interests when he was a politician.

His speech was intended for others to follow, but didn't apply to himself.

A common occurrence.
