The NLA announced that the award giving would be postponed until Premsak could prove his innocence and clear himself from this recent scandal.
On Tuesday, Premsak allegedly had his subordinates pull down the pants of Korsit in front of four other journalists at a meeting room in alleged revenge for reports on personal matter. The five reporters, who were also made to hand over their cameras and cell phones to officials before attending the meeting, were seeking Premsak's comment about a photograph of him sitting next to a Mathayom 5 schoolgirl in what appeared to be an engagement or wedding ceremony.
