Labour Minister: Apai Chandanachulaka, 63

It is old memories for the new Labour Minister.

Apai Chandanachulaka returns to his old stomping grounds where he served as Labour permanent secretary until then minister Suwat Liptapanlop transferred him to the Social Development and Human Security Ministry.

Shortly after, Apai became a judge of the Constitution Court. He was one of six justices in the minority who voted to consider a complaint submitted by senators seeking to impeach then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for conflict of interest over his ownership of Shin Corp shares ahead of its sale to Temasek Holdings.

He also ruled in the case of National Counter Corruption Commission illegal allowance increases.
