BANGKOK - Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn has revoked royal decorations that had been awarded to ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a document published on Saturday in the royal gazette showed.
Publicly revoking Thaksin’s royal decorations could discredit him, and perhaps his affiliated party, in the eyes of many Thais, because the monarchy is revered without question in Thai culture. “King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun issued a royal command to revoke royal decorations, because Thaksin Shinawatra was sentenced to jail by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders, in addition to many other accusations, and he fled the kingdom, which is a highly inappropriate behavior,” it read.A week after March 24 vote, the outcome of Thailand’s election remains uncertain and might not be known until after official results due on May 9.
Despite living abroad, Thaksin has remained a divisive figure in Thai politics. Pro-Thaksin parties have won every election since 2001, even after he was ousted.
