Thaksin Not Taking Trip to Temple
Ousted former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is still in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and not in Cambodia as several people have asserted, and still holds Thai citizenship, according to Noppadon Pattama, a legal consultant to Mr Thaksin.
Mr. Noppadon disagreed with prior declarations by Veera Somkwamkid, a leading associate of the People’s Alliance for Democracy, who said that the ex-premier would journey with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to the ancient Preah Vihear temple near the Thai-Khmer border on Saturday.
The tale of Mr. Thaksin going with Mr. Hun Sen to Preah Vihear temple is totally fictitious and is aimed at destroying Mr. Thaksin’s credibility, Mr. Noppadon said.
Mr. Noppadon also said the ousted premier had never contemplated changing his nationality.
On Friday, Cambodian government spokesperson held in Phnom Penh that his administration had never granted Cambodian citizenship to Mr. Thaksin.
