Show some independence, PM told

Show some independence, PM told

Senator Prasarn Marukpitak asked the government and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Saturday to set example for the public in positive thinking - by being independent and not under influence of her brother, ex-PM Thaksin.

Prasarn was responding to Yingluck’s New Year message in which she asked the public to think positively, be merciful and compassionate to others and listen to each other in order to welcome new opportunities and allow the country to achieve sustainable development.
The senator said Yingluck in particular should be herself and not under the influence of Thaksin as in previous years. “Khun Yingluck should moreover place importance and be responsible on the parliamentary jobs instead of ignoring them and staying afloat away from all problems like last years,” he said.
There were four ways to help the country out of its present dilemma, he said – stop reviewing the entire Constitution, review the rice-pledging scheme, and for the premier to be responsible about the Parliament’s works and emerge from Thaksin’s influence.
Meanwhile, Senate vice president Surachai Liengboonlertchai said he wished the prime minister would think positive in the year to come and commit to the benefit of the country and people, rather than of political leaders.
