PPP MPs to review Jakrapob's controversial remarks

As an ant-icoup activist from the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship, Jakrapob spoke to Thai expats in Los Angeles last November and made many veiled and rude remarks against the monarchy, Panya said.

He said the MPs were confident that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej would make the right decision about Jakrapob, hinting at an increasing pressure for his removal.

"When the time comes (for his departure), Jakrapob should realise he was lucky to have had a chance to serve in a Cabinet post," he said in reference to the minister's non-MP status.
