At last, Thaksin Shinawatra is sorry for his family for the fact that they are now 46 billion baht poorer. He also accused the Supreme Court of being unfair in handing down the verdicts that resulted in confiscation of part of his assets.
Upon entering politics a decade ago, Thaksin should have hired trustworthy managers to take care of his business and financial affairs, and concentrate only on administering the state as entrusted upon him by the overwhelming majority of Thai voters. Mixing business with politics, as he should have known, is an absolute no-no.
But he unforgivably failed the country, and ultimately his family. Now it is harder for the literate Thai public to call him a trustworthy bloke _ let alone a statesman.
