"nek Chongsathian, executive of a food packaging company, lent the van to his wife Naruemon so she could drive a vehicle befitting of her status."

I didn't know driving a van is a new status symbol. What a joke. Thai politicians are plain bad liars.

Why cant all politicians be investigated for unsual wealth...that the former transport minister has been implicated on should be just cause for further investigation into not only other politician's unusal wealth but that of generals in the army and police force who as seen live lives in the lap of luxury.
