Samak: I'm a lucky PM
Samak Sundaravej yesterday portrayed himself as a lucky prime minister who got the job by chance.
Published on February 16, 2008
"I admit I became prime minister because of the September 19 coup," he said.
Samak was addressing Buddhist preceptors at Wat Sam Phraya.
He said the December election returned the country to political normalcy and that the coup was a mistake and a costly lesson.
He said his leadership would have three pillars of unity - nation, religion and monarchy.
