Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is still strong and healthy, former prime minister Somchai Wongsawat said on Tuesday.
Mr Somchai, the brother of Thaksin's former wife Khunying Potjaman, said the former Thai leader called him on the telephone to wish him a happy birthday when he turned 63 two days ago. Thaksin was still strong and healthy, not seriously sick as rumoured. He was staying far away from Thailand and not in this region, as was suggested by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Mr Somchai said. He said Thaksin was staying silent at this time because he wanted the country to be at peace and did not want to become a political issue. Asked about Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's visit to Montenegro, Mr Somchai said it would be good if the visit was truly to tighten relations between the two countries. The job of hunting a fugitive belonged with police, he added. Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security Suthep Thaugsuban this morning denied reports Mr Kasit was in Montenegro to hunt down the ousted premier. “Mr Kasit is not visiting there on a hunt" for the fugitive politician as alleged, Mr Suthep said. The foreign minister would present the facts about Thaksin to Montenegro because the authorities there might have heard only one side of the story from Thaksin, he said. Thaksin is now a citizen of Montenegro and has a major investment there.
I think for a peaceful future of Thailand Thaksin should stay in
