Samak R.I.P.

Samak Sundaravej, the 25th prime minister of Thailand, died of cancer on Tuesday morning.


He was 74.

Samak had been treated for cancer in Bamrungrat Hospital in Bangkok for months. He went into coma on Sunday and died on Tuesday.

He was pronounced dead at the Bamrungrad Hospital at 9:33 am Tuesday.

He would be remembered as one of the most colourful and controversial figures in Thai politics. He was known for his sharp tongue and short temper.

The veteran politician was also a celebrity cook, a newspaper columnist and owner, a Bangkok governor elected with the highest number of votes, a multiple-term MP, and a Cabinet member serving in many ministerial portfolios, including interior, transport and agriculture.

Rein menschlich immer traurig,
ansonsten möge Thailand in Zukunft von dieser Art Politiker verschont bleiben.

Ob das die Grabinschrift wird?

Jeder Mensch oder gottesähnliche Erscheinung, muss eines Tages diesen Weg gehen.
Samaks Rekord datiert vor meiner Thailandzeit, als PM agierte er oft hilflos und im Stich gelassen.

Sein Versuch Ausländer noch mehr zu benachteiligen, als sie ohnehin schon sind, hat die Beliebtheitsskala nicht in die Höhe rauschen lassen.
