Thai PM dismisses speculations on Cabinet reshuffle

BANGKOK, December 12 (TNA) - Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dismissed, again, Monday speculative reports that there would be a Cabinet reshuffle soon. Yingluck insisted that she has not yet planned any Cabinet reshuffle, but her Puea Thai Party-led government is now focusing on assisting people affected by the country's widespread floods over the past couple of months and on tailoring rehabilitation plans for flood-hit areas. In response to journalists' question on whether she considers January 2012 is a suitable period for a first change in her four-month Cabinet, Yingluck said briefly that it appears not to be the right time for any Cabinet reshuffle.
