She insisted she would rather impart advice to Pol Gen Pongsapat on social issues if it is needed.

    "Abhisit Vejjajiva made it clear the running mate for MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the party's candidate, must not have a tainted record." That's right. Sukhumbhand has enough of a tainted record for everyone. No need to have any more taint.
