Thaksin embarrassment to Malaysian govt: Thaworn


Deputy Interior Minister Thaworn Senneam on Tuesday questioned the credibility of fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra who claimed to have received VIP protection during a one-night transit in Malaysia last week.

"Thaksin is known for saying something but doing differently," he said in reaction Thaksin's account of his stop-over in Kuala Lumpur.

In his Monday's phone-in to an Udon Thani radio show,Thaksin boasted that Malaysian authorites dispatched a security detail of 15 Special Branch police officers for his protection.

Thaworn countered he believed Malaysia had irked by Thaksin's presence due to the existence of a bilateral agreement on extradition.

"Thaksin's boasting has just caused an embarrassment to the Malaysian authorities who are obligated to send him back," he said.

Malaysia is now fully aware that Thai police, public prosecutors, courts and Corrections Department want to extradite Thaksin, he added.
