[Bangkok Post] Mingkwan: Thai PM must be economic expert
[In the midst of economic crisis, Thailand will need the government leader who has expertise in economic and capability to tackle the pressing problems of the country, former deputy prime minister and commerce minister, Mingkwan Saengsuwan, said on Friday morning.
His remark was made during a seminar on “Clear the Country’s Debt, Create Income for the People” held this morning at a hotel in Chiang Mai by the opposition Puea Thai Party.]
BP: He is saying, pick me! Reports that Puea Thai will keep some figurehead until closer to the election as they are worried about another party ban/dissolution. Mingkwan seems to be putting his hand up.

The guy who wanted to patent the full moon party ?
It's huge.
He was a disgrace as Commerce Minister (maybe less than the current Commerce Minister, but that's another issue).
I found 2 gems on my blog.
