King endorses new cabinet

His Majesty the King has endorsed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's new cabinet.

Opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday the cabinet shake-up favoured certain politicians, rather than the public interest.

He said the education portfolio should not be changed so often _ the new minister will be the third in a year. Mr Abhisit was referring to the appointment of legal expert Phongthep Thepkanchana as education minister, replacing Suchart Thada-Thamrongvech.

    Perhaps Jatuporn Prompan will get the message that "the family" have simply used him and the red-shirts. The TRT party wasn't named Thaksin Rak Thaksin for nothing.

    If the behavioral tests were conducted much sooner , let say 3decades ago, the whole country's children would have flunked the tests. Since I believe this kind of test was not done before so those children 30 years ago became what we see now sitting majestically&proudly in the parliament. Very much like frog in coconut shell.If you are frog you most likely chose the log or the crane to be your boss. Either way are not smart thats why you got 54% of frog population support the crane. not smart choice.
