THAILAND: Prime Minister Yingluck S

THAILAND: Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is also failing the subsidies test, displaying a lack of political will to stand up to rice and rubber farmers and to gasoline consumers. She’s been too distracted with tweaking the constitution to implement a $64 billion infrastructure plan to boost growth. After two years in office, Yingluck must work harder to put to rest speculation she’s a mere placeholder for her fugitive brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. --------------
