PM told to work instead of rehashing rumours

"The prime minister should avoid rehashing rumours which will eventually backfire to undermine his own government," Abhisit said.

He was referring to remarks by Samak Sundaravej about plans to remove him from office and to arrest him upon his return from China and Brunei today.

If the plans were true, then the government should take legal action against ill-intentioned people, he said. The rehashing of rumours will only demoralise the public, he added.
