Chulasingh named acting PTT chairman
Play
PTT's board of directors on Friday appointed Chulasingh Vasantasingh, an independent director, as the acting chairman.
Vichet Kasemthongsri, former chairman, recently resigned amid speculation that he would join the Yingluck 5 government. Benja Louicharoen also resigned, probably because of the same reason.
According to Suthep Liumsirijarern, a director, aside from the acknowledgement of the two directors' resignation, the board today discussed a secret agenda which does not involve Pailin Chuchottaworn's qualification.
Pailin has been in public spotlight after a petition for investigation into his qualification. It remains unclear if an employee of a state enterprise can serve as a director of a private company. Pailin recently resigned as a director of Fraser & Neave, following the petition.
PTT is 51 per cent owned by the Finance Ministry.
