Thailand's prime minister-to-be has insisted that she will make her own decisions as the country's leader, and not act as the ‘puppet’ of her exiled brother, ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Yingluck Shinawatra said on Friday that 20 years of experience in the business world shows she can make her own decisions. But she says she will consult with the Pheu Thai Party management team that helped her to victory and with the Cabinet she will appoint.
Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 after being accused of corruption and disrespect to the country's monarchy. He is generally credited for engineering the comeback of his political machine, despite being in exile to avoid a jail term on a corruption charge.
