BANGKOK – Disgraced ex-prime minister Samak Sundaravej has resorted to yelling at people and passing cars, according to eyewitness reports. Having been released on bail following both his convictions for libel and conflict of interest, the outspoken 72-year old veteran politician has apparently been unable to find an audience to listen to his opinions.
After his offers for a free “exclusive” interview were turned down by Matichon, Thai Rath, The Bangkok Post, The Nation, Manager, BK Magazine, The Big Chili, In Residence, Guru, Bangkok-by-Night, and www.my-thai-vacation.blogspot.com, Samak has resorted to wandering the streets of the capital, shouting incomprehensible things at pedestrians and traffic.
So far there are no reports of Samak injuring anyone or damaging any property, although he had to be restrained by police on Monday after reportedly frightening the children at St. Joseph’s school on Convent Road.
