Can you believe this? He will only answer to higher authorities. The people, public opinion, even a growing chorus of members of his own party cannot make him leave.

It's time we start wondering what things will be like post-Thaksin. It could be much worse. Is Mr. P. still around or is he finally just enjoying the good life in NZ?

Only King can tell me to leave: Thaskin

Published on Feb 04 , 2006

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said on Saturday that he will not quit as long as His Majesty the King does not tell him to go.

"The only person who can tell me to quit is His Majesty the King. If His Majesty whispers to me that 'Thaksin please leave,' I'll go," Thasin said during his weekly radio programme Saturday morning.

During the programme, he reiterated that he has done nothing wrong regarding the sale of Shin Corp shares.

He said he was confident that most Thais still wanted him to remain in the office.
