PM Prayut to attend the state funeral of Lee Kuan Yew on Mar 29

[rubl]

Singapore is in sincere mourning over the passing away of their 'founding father', a man most of Singaporeans have known all their life. I doubt the government there wants anything to distract them. If they were forced to choose they would choose the invited official representative of Thailand, it's current PM. No doubt Thaksin is aware of that although it won't stop him from making a nuisance of himself if only by talking too much. Waiting for him to say "who am I do do such?".

Agree Rubi. But I think it is not a time for grandstanding or to create a situation. Only my opinion, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn would be a person to represent Thailand at Lee Kuan Yew State Funeral. Her Royal Highness has a very distinguished service to her nation and to humanity worldwide. She has rendered this dedication to public service since her youth.

LKY funeral should be treated with respect. A lot of people may not have liked him or his methods, but he developed a small misfit island into a financial giant.

I can agree with that.

As for the Princess representing Thailand, in one of the topics on this it was written that PM Prayut was invited by Singapore Authorities. It may be both will be present.
