BANGKOK: -- PM's secretary-general Suranand Vejjajiva yesterday dismissed media reports that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is planning a Cabinet reshuffle.

Red-shirt leaders Jatuporn Prompan, Apiwan Wiriyachai and Pakorn Buranupakorn were reported to be likely appointments as ministers in the next Cabinet reshuffle expected early next month, according to a source from the ruling Pheu Thai Party.

Suranand said although all the names shown in the press are knowledgeable and suitable candidates, the PM has not thought of reshuffling the Cabinet now, adding that Yingluck has a tight work schedule in May and June.

Suranand said the party had been checking who was behind the rumour as it suspected the role of political opponents trying to shake the government's stability.

Dr weng Tochirakarn, a leader of the Democratic Alliance against Dictatorship (DAAD) denied having any knowledge of Jatuporn's likely appointment as deputy Interior Minister. He also disapproved of criticism that Jatuporn's taking up of a Cabinet post would affect the longevity of the government.

Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said the Cabinet reshuffle report was just a rumour, adding the PM has not sent any signal to the party executive board about her intention to make changes to the Cabinet.

He also rejected criticism that Jatuporn would be like "lightning rod'' that would cause the government to collapse, saying if Jatuporn is given a Cabinet post, it means he has the potential to help push government policies in Parliament.

Suporn Attawong, deputy secretary-general to the PM, said Jatuporn deserved a Cabinet post because he had "helped the party to the best of his ability on the battle frontline".

Suporn asked reporters if his name is also in the list with Jatuporn, adding while wiping away mock tears that he would be hurt if he was not included.

DAAD leader Thida Thawornseth congratulated Jatuporn if the report about him is true.

Should the headline not read " PM's brother has no plans to reshuffle cabinet ". Yingluck probably thinks a cabinet reshuffle is clearing out her wardrobe.

Did the cute lady had a plan for anything so far?but no problem she knows how to use Skype and other"social networks".

One would have thought that in order to get a cabinet post one should have an excellent knowledge of the job and the foresight to steer the particular department to greater hights...........................But no it seems not.

Suporn didn't stick around after fleeing to Cambodia from the "battle front line" :

Among the red-shirt leaders still on the run are Arisman Pongruangrong, Suporn Attawong, and Adisorn Piengket. They refused to give in to police after the red shirts' 10-week anti-government rally ended on May 19 last year. Instead, the hard-line leaders fled Thailand and were later spotted in a neighbouring country.

.

No. The headline is right. She has no plans. She will be told Thaksin's plans when the time is right.

Actually you're both right!

Except that Thaksin probably has plans to reshuffle cabinet. He just isn't telling Yingluck yet.

Poor Jatuporn. He already bought a new suit and ordered business cards.

Replying to Yingluck Has ' No Plan To Reshuffle Cabinet'

hasn't got the memo yet.

PM's secretary-general Suranand Vejjajiva yesterday dismissed media reports that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is planning a Cabinet reshuffle.

Likewise clueless

Red-shirt leaders Jatuporn Prompan and Apiwan Wiriyachai are likely to be appointed ministers in the next Cabinet reshuffle expected early next month, according to a source from the ruling Pheu Thai Party.

Keeping mum

"hasn't got the memo yet"

My thoughts exactly.

Unfair comments. As if the real Prime Minister™© needs a plan

Poor Jatuporn. He already bought a new suit and ordered business cards.

Judging from the photo in the OP, soon to be cabinet member Jatuporn's taylor must be Omar the tent maker. His coat sleeves are too long and the shirt sleeves are too short. Maybe he is starting a new trend.

Floating the name Jatuporn for the cabinet is Thaksin's dog whistle politics for the Redshirt militants and emphasises the importance to them of getting him (Thaksin) back

Title should read "PM has no plan" .. period

K. Tida must feel like the Maytag repairman err repair person..

hahahahaha, of course she has no plans for a re-shuffle, her brother organizes all that, she doesnt even understand what it is

I reshuffled my cabinet yesterday, throwing out some old DVD and even found some old VHS tapes! Just threw them in the garbage.

What I want to know is, why was I not headline news?

Did the cute lady had a plan for anything so far?but no problem she knows how to use Skype and other"social networks".

Yes, it seems the "to reshuffle cabinet" is a bit redundant,makes much more sense when that bit is removed.

Poor Jatuporn. He already bought a new suit and ordered business cards.

Well if it is just a rumor I would not be one bit surprised if he was the one who started it.

the article said

"saying if Jatuporn is given a Cabinet post, it means he has the potential to help push government policies in Parliament."

While I don't have all the facts I have heard that the treatment he gives his mother is shall we say deplorable. Now how can a man like that have policies that are beneficial to the poor in Thailand? The man has no concern for any one other than himself.

What Jatuporn has the potential to push is the tea trolley in the parliamentary canteen.

Looks like he has been using Noppadol Pattama's tailor. Its a classic PTP cut with the overly long sleeves (so nobody can see if he's crossing his fingers when telling outrageous lies).

What is known in some circles as a sartorial disaster.
