webfact Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 POLITICSBook that reveals Yingluck's true self stuck at the pressPanya ThiosangwanThe Nation WASSANA NANUAM, who was expecting her new book "PluayBANGKOK: -- The Bangkok Post reporter explained her book about Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could not go ahead as it was awaiting final approval from the "boss". The book is being printed by Post Books."The publishing house said that they are waiting for 'the boss' to decide if it should go ahead. It might not be ready in time for the book fair or at a push, might be ready nearer the closing of the expo," she said.Wassana has been promoting the book on Facebook and many fans have asked if it could be found at the book fair.She went on to explain that the "boss" is possibly a high-ranking executive of the publishing house, who is possibly consulting the legal team on whether the book might result in the author and publisher getting sued.She said neither Yingluck nor PM's secretary-general Suranand Vejjajiva had read the manuscript or seen layout before printing, but did get the final draft before it was sent to the printer. Suranand said Yingluck complained she did not like her cover photo or the book title.Wassana said she had clarified that the book was about Yingluck's "self" and how she deals with her job as a woman. It also explains how she has to be tolerant as a prime minister and also her problems with being a political newbie.The book also features the prime minister's answers and explanations over the many issues she has been attacked over. The word "pluay", which could mean naked in Thai, was possibly used to attract readers, while Wassana said the heart icon before the PM's name was used to show that it is positive. Also, the author said, the PM looks tough in the cover photograph. -- The Nation 2013-10-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think all concerned can be sure the slightest, mildest criticism will result in a lawsuit so whoever is approving the manuscript will be wielding an editorial black pen with extreme prejudice. The result will be a saccharin sweet load of drivel that will only sell because no one involved with PTP, the Shins etc. will want to be seen without a copy.

Thai at Heart Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ooooh please let it be deeply truthful. What the hell is a sitting pm doing having a biography done? The ensuing comedy would be priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rametindallas Posted October 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2013 It's a cinch that Madam Yingluck's voter base doesn't read books, so no harm could possibly be done by telling the truth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini81 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 A collection of BLANK PAGES! And a cover with a 'pose' on the catwalk. Back cover, a hand puppet. Warning: it will cause greater loss of brain cells than exposure to Thai soap operas. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patjem Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 An A4 sheet, folded over into a pamphlet would have been quite adequate. Interesting that this book is going to provide answers to some of the grilling questions that YS has been unable to answer: I wonder if she has read it, and knows what answers she is apparently giving in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi41 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 "The PM has not read the book, only looked at the pictures" Why are we not surprised??

Ricardo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 "Book of Yingluck ... Where Are You ?" might be an appropriate title ?

newermonkey Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I guess she might have to "stop the press" because she may not want to loose face to people who really know her and family. they may comment to her "how come you let someone lie about you, we all know your not "that good""! "how sycophantic is that load of g....ge" How embarrassing would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SICHONSTEVE Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think that when it is implied that they don't read books. it should be described more accurately that they cannot read!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
