PM brushed aside cabinet reshuffle rumor

BANGKOK, 15 May 2013 (NNT) – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is ready to listen to certain group’s opposition to the THB530 billion flood prevention plans of the government.

In response to groups planning to question or protest against the water management projects at the 2nd Asia-Pacific Water Summit in Chiang Mai, Prime Minister Yingluck said opinions are welcomed for the sake of true democratic spirit, adding that the government is not in anyway trying to bar a rightful expression of opinions.

The Premier also brushed aside the speculation of a possible cabinet reshuffle of 6 ministers, including the minister of interior post.

As for the solution to the strengthening baht, the Prime Minister anticipated a close cooperation between Finance Minister Kittirat Na Ranong and Bank of Thailand Governor Prasarn Trairatvorakul in dealing with the issue.

Prime Minister Yingluck personally viewed that despite holding opposing opinions, both Mr. Kittirat and Mr. Prasarn are committed to the same goals of stabilizing the baht.

Is this a typo or have they really increase the flood prevention budget by 25%?

Maybe she doesn't want to talk about a re-shuffle in case it involves her too.

Well she should start by vacating her position

If you want to know about a cabinet reshuffle ... you will need to ask Thaksin

Well she should start by vacating her position

and take Chalerm with her. If he wasn't one of Thaksin's most obsequious arse lickers he would have been out a long time, he's a total embarrassment and has nothing to commend him in the least other than his " how high ? " answer when told to jump.

Looks like she's not had the Skype call. Probably waiting till after the rally on the 19th, Don Mueang by-election result and Amnesty Bill progress when parliament reopens before deciding on his next re-shuffle.
