Spindler company terminates affiliation with Edelman PR
Spindler & Associates Co, Ltd (S&A) has announced that it has terminated its affiliate relationship with Edelman PR Worldwide after discovering from media reports that Edelman PR had been retained by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The announcement came after the media criticised Kanjana Spindler, Deputy Secretary General to the prime minister of having conflict of interest as her husband, Julian, runs S&A, which has affiliate relationship with Edelman PR and is hired by Thaksin. "Chaiyan Setpaisan, Managing Director of S&A said that he and his long time partner, Jualian Spindler, would never work against the interests of Thailand or the Royal Thai Government and had immediately terminated their affiliate relationship with Edelman PR in protest against Edelman being retained by Thaksin," read the press release from S&A. Chaiyan said Kanjana, a former Bangkok Post columnist, had absolutely no involvement whatsoever with S&A. "In fact, since our company was found in 1991, Khun Kanjana has never even visited our office once. She always maintained the strictest journalistic standards while working for the Bangkok Post."
