Abhisit queries 'insensitive' flood party

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has questioned why the government is organising a glitzy party to raise awareness on flood control, seen as being insensitive to the plight of the last year's disaster victims.

"I don't understand the government's true intentions on the party," he said Tuesday in reference to the garden party at Government House, scheduled for Friday.

Abhisit said if the government wanted to hold a thankyou party for those involved in the flood relief, then the event should be moderate and without the lavishness.
