Professor Thaksin
Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will become a guest professor at Tokyo's Takushoku University and hold a special class on July 5, sources close to him said on Thursday.
Thaksin's acquaintances in Japan have made arrangements for the post out of hope his wide-ranging knowledge will be passed on to Japan's younger generation, Kyodo news agency reported the sources as saying.In the special class, he is expected to give a lecture on Asian business-economic models, based on his experience as a businessman before he went into politics, they said. Thaksin plans to visit Japan early next month to hold discussions with officials of the university and hold a press conference in Tokyo with university President Toshio Watanabe to announce his taking the post of guest professor, according to the sources.
