Newly appointed Deputy Agriculture Minister Nattawut Saikuar has pledged to be a minister for people of all political colours. He insists his ministerial work is not dictated by colour-coded politics and he will also work for people with no political affiliation.
"The red shirts didn't fight to have a government of their own or one that works for vested interests," Mr Nattawut said in an interview with the Bangkok Post.
"What we want is a government that serves the entire country."

'"The red shirts didn't fight to have a government of their own or one that works for vested interests," Mr Nattawut. That is precisely what they killed, torched buildings and broke the law for. '"Democracy does not truly belong to people".' Huh ? Who does he think it belongs to then ? UDD red shirt thugs ?

I am truly sorry a serious newspaper like BP publishes this Nattawut propaganda and rhetoric. Only the red villages and the red thugs would be so naive to believe all this!!
