PM's father denies concealing wealth

"My wife (Sodsai) and I, as well as PM's wife; Pimpen, are more than ready if the Opposition wanted to investigate into the matters," said Professor Dr Attasit Vejjajiva. He was a former dean of Mahidol University.

He was responding to a report that the opposition parties planned to grill Abhisit's wife and mother in a planned censure debate for concealing wealth, and having stocks in companies which is prohibited by the constitution.

When PM declared his assets as required by the charter, he and his wife have more wealth because they are given inheritance.

Abhisit reminded the opposition on Wednesday to not be politically improper after they threatened to drag his mother and wife into the censure debate, which is tentatively scheduled for next month.

PM said that though he understood it was the opposition's duty to check on his performance, he was quite surprised that his family was also being targeted and that he would be questioned about a car he sold. Still, he said, there was no point in speculating about the reasons behind all this just yet.
