Perhaps timed for an occasion when everyone's attention & effort is focussed on HMK's Birthday. Or am I being way too cynical?:

Will she retain the surname Shinawatra after her recent divorce? One wonders ... ;-)

Newin Chidchob would appear to be represented by the clam-lipped skinhead who is practically hugging Khunying Pojaman. Samak is on the left, tugging on her right sleeve. (Doubtful he will be there in person, as he is currently receiving medical treatment for liver cancer in the USA.)

It's way past 10 PM and nothing concrete yet. Indeed, the Bangkok Post hasn't run it at all. The Nation report has been fleshed out a bit in the meantime:

Ex-wife of Thaksin to return home Friday night
By The Nation

Ex-wife of fugitive former PM Thaksin Shinawatra and her daughter are due to return home on Friday night.

Khunying Pojaman and her youngest daughter; Paethongtarn will return to Bangkok from Hong Kong by Thai International Airways at about 10.30pm.

Pojaman was granted bail after being convicted on tax evasion charge is reportedly arriving Bangkok from Hong Kong.

Thaksin had said that he and Pojaman decided to divorce, ending 12-year marriage because Pojaman did not want him to re-enter the Thai politics. Many believe that the divorce was for political reason.

Her return, if true, was coincided with a meeting of Pheu Thai Party to elect new party leader scheduled on Sunday. The party is a spare part of People Power Party which was dissolved by the Constitution Court this week and its executive members were banned from politics for five years.

Immigration Police Commissioner Lt Gen Chatchawal Suksomjit confirmed Friday that Pojaman Shinawatra will return to Bangkok at about 10 pm Friday night.

Chatchawal said immigration police had no arrest warrant against Pojaman so she would pass through normal immigration procedure.

Please, what do you think? Of course she just wanted to arrive in time to be able and pay a late night visit to the local temple to make merit on occasion of HM's birthday.

Potjaman back

By Post Reporters

The former wife of convicted ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra returned unexpectedly to Thailand on Friday night in a move linked to concerns about the formation of a new government as the momentum shifts in favour of the opposition Democrat party.

She was registered as Potjaman Damapong and arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport from Hong Kong on Thai Airways International flight TG607 at 10.30pm. She was immediately whisked away by the chief of the Immigration Bureau, Pol Lt-Gen Chatchawan Suksomchit, to avoid the media.

About 30 members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship in red shirts and supporters of the disbanded People Power party (PPP) were seen at the airport waiting to greet her.

Acting Deputy Commerce Minister Songkram Kitlertpairoj confirmed Khunying Potjaman's return but refused to say where she would go from the airport.

Khunying Potjaman divorced Thaksin in Hong Kong on Nov 14 in what many believe was for political or business reasons. She no longer faces arrest.

Khunying Potjaman has to fight a tax evasion conviction in the Appeals Court. On Nov 21, her lawyer filed an appeal after the Criminal Court on July 31 found her, her step-brother Bannapot Damapong and her secretary Karnchanapa Honghern guilty of conspiring to evade tax in the transfer of 4.5 million shares in Shinawatra Computer and Communications, now Shin Corp, worth 738 million baht.

The court ruled the transaction did not take place in the stock market and was faked to avoid tax. The court ruled they intentionally avoided paying 546 million baht in tax for the shares transfer.

The Supreme Court on Oct 21 sentenced Thaksin to two years in jail for abuse of authority in the Ratchadaphisek land case, but acquitted Khunying Potjaman who purchased the plot.

Political sources said the real motive behind her return were the problems in forming a new administration, as a key faction led by Newin Chidchob appeared not to support a new prime minister backed by Thaksin and Puea Thai, the new party he supports.

The opposition Democrat party could lead the new coalition government if it is backed by rebel groups once loyal to Thaksin.

Democrat chief adviser and former prime minister Chuan Leekpai said Friday that some ex-PPP MPs with whom he was acquainted wanted to switch their support to the Democrats.

But he ruled out any possibility of him being prime minister in the next government. His party adhered to its rule that gave the prime minister's seat to its leader, Abhisit Vejjajiva, he said.

Any chance of the Democrat party leading the next government would depend on support from other political parties, Mr Chuan said.

Democrat secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban has reportedly secured 243 House votes to support the Democrats forming the core of the next government. The figure is made up of 166 Democrats, 25 MPs from the PPP's Friends of Newin group, 10 from the PPP's Sora-at Klinprathum faction, 10 from Matchimathipataya, 23 from Puea Pandin and nine from Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana.

In the meantime Puea Thai, the new home for MPs from the PPP, Chart Thai and Pracharaj parties will have only 203 votes.

The Democrats say they will not change the portfolios of its potential coalition partners if they are satisfied with their cabinet seats in the PPP-led government, according to the sources.

The Newin group, Puea Pandin and other parties want to see an end to the political crisis, they added.

But Pracharaj leader Sanoh Thienthong said coalition parties in the PPP-led government would not support a candidate from the PPP or the Democrats as premier.

A government comprising either rival parties would not end the nation's problems, so an MP from among the five former coalition partners should become the next prime minister, Mr Sanoh said. He claimed many MPs from the disbanded PPP supported that position.

Mr Sanoh declined to comment on a report that Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana leader Gen Chettha Thanajaro and he were candidates for prime minister.

Representatives of the former coalition parties had only discussed their cooperation in the upcoming constituency by-election, Mr Sanoh said.

Chuwit Pitakpornpanlop, an Ubon Ratchathani MP from the Friends of Newin group, said MPs in the faction would oppose a prime ministerial candidate from Puea Thai for fear of renewed disorder.

Puea Thai is expected to meet tomorrow to select its new executive board and leader. The party leader should be Yingluck Shinawatra who will be appointed to retain her elder brother Thaksin's influence over the party.

Pracha Prasopdee, a Samut Prakan MP from the disbanded PPP, said if an agreeable government could not be achieved, he would propose a House dissolution.

Pardon? She is a convicted criminal and jumped bail. No longer faces arrest??? Filed an appeal after fleeing??? In other times and countries they would have sent a head hunter after her.

[GWR]

Well without having really looked for the answer, I'm told it is something to do with the fact she has appealed. If that is true, it seems a bit of a travesty of justice to allow someone to skip the country, appeal at the same time and not have an arrest warrant served on them. It's understandable that the Thai consulate in Hong-Kong is not in the business of arresting people. But does it really have to provide full service for those who skip bail? One law for the rich, and another for the poor! And yet another policeman's family that tramples all over the rule of law in its Size 12 shiny boots. But maybe it is also something to do with her name change:

Potjaman changes surname to Damapong

Ex-wife of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Khunying Potjaman, applied for a new identification card at the Dusit District Office at 8am Monday to change her surname back to Damapong.

Khunying Potjaman and the former premier divorced at the Thai consulate in Hong Kong on November 14, ending their 32-year marriage. Many believed the divorce was for business or political reasons.

The office took about 10 minutes to change her identification card before she left in a van with her close associates. (BangkokPost.com)

Talking about bail, appeals and such stuff, I cannot help wondering how Harry Nicolaides feels about this.

[ncr]

Also funny that of course her return was not related to politics, but "to see her sick mother". (Cannot find the article, I think it was in the Post or Nation).

How brazen can one be? Not that every single person in this country doesn't know the truth already.

[Wisarut]

Now, Ai Maew has beomce like the old leader of the pack whose fangs are deteriorated ... and become weaker ...

First British Governmrnment no longer grant the Visa
Second id PPP is dissolved ... even though those UDD men is trying to ask for the consititution court ot dissolve Democrat.

Now, the power struggle for the new government has shown that Democrat is gainging the upper hands.

The series of failture is due the fact that AI Maew could NOT defeat PAD.... turnign more and more people to fed up with political mobsters. This also has detrimental effect on Phua Thai Party due to the fact that it will create more and more trouble if they let AI Maew nominee runnign the country again.

Another fialture is the underestimation of AI Newin's potentials.
The decision to suppress AI Newin and the gang durign the struggle for running PPP has turned into the faital mistake. Ai Nerwin is the brain trust of Ai Maew so doing any harm to him will turn the best alliance into the nemesis.

Ai Maew only care more about abusing political power to escape the jail, gian the assets back, and become the real leader again. However, AI Newin knows too well that before gettign a chance to abuse the power, he needs to take a look at the public opinion to gain the upper hand but raisig the Nation Recovery which public has demanded the most.


If Democrat has sucessfully set up the new government on 15 Dec 2008, the Diplomat Passport will be cancelled ... and the legal process for extradition will go on agaisnt him. Even he did survive the prison term, he will become the lonely old man livign in exile.
