Thaksin no Cambodian passport


Published: 22/05/2009 The six passports that former premier Thaksin Shinawatra is reportedly now carrying do not include a Cambodian passport, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said on Friday.

Leading Puea Thai MP Chalerm Yubamrung told reporters on Thursday that the governments of six countries had issued passports to Thaksin, and confirmed Nicaragua was one of them.

Mr Suthep said had spoken to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who had confirmed that Phnom Penh had not given Thaksin a passport.

The deputy prime minister again insisted that relations between the coalition parties were good and that none of them had a problem working with the Democrat party.

He played down the appearance of Democrat MP Surasit Trithong at the Bhumjaithai party meeting on Thursday, saying he did not believe any MPs wanted to leave the Democrat party for the Bhumjaithai party.

He also said he did not expect a general election any time soon, and he did not expect the move to register the People's Alliance for Democracy as a political party would have any significant effect on support for the Democrat party.
