Many Thai citizens are closely scrutinizing the Prime Minister's behaviour to find evidence that he has violated the Thai Constitution and many other laws, including abuse of his power in order to further his family's multi-billion baht businesses, which include a mobile phone service, satellite, TV channel and airline.  Family assets have been illegally hidden, several transfers of shares have involved tax evasion, and most recently, his family businesses have been sold to the Singaporean government's Temasek.  The PM has also been interfering with independent organisations to obstruct and avoid proper investigation.  He dissolved the House just before its opening to avoid answering any questions regarding this issue.

Thus, many citizens and academics believe that the PM has lost the legitimate right to run the country.  He should no longer retain power, which he may use to influence the upcoming election.

The People's Alliance for Democracy, together with Thai citizens and academics, are agreed that the Prime Minister should resign from his post immediately.

On the basis of the long relationship between our two countries, the People's Alliance for Democracy calls upon the Singaporean government to stop the purchase of Shin Corporation on 9 March 2006.  The purchase, if allowed to proceed, will be considered as an attempt to interfere with basic services and businesses that are important for Thailand's security.

The People's Alliance for Democracy will use every means to stop this purchase, starting with a boycott of every business owned by Shin Corporation.

Please consider our request. The People's Alliance for Democracy will come back to the Embassy on 9 March 2006 to hear the answer.  We hope that our two countries will have the opportunity to continue our good relationship.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Somsak Kosaisuk

Representative of the People's Alliance for Democracy
