Suspended Thai PM faces ethics probe over Hun Sen call
Thailand's suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is facing further scrutiny following her leaked phone call with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen. Sources at the country's anti-graft agency say it will investigate her conduct. Thai media reported that the National Anti-Corruption Commission voted unanimously on Monday to launch a probe of Paetongtarn, who is currently serving as culture minister. The commission will investigate whether she violated ethical standards in the phone conversation with Hun Sen. During the call to discuss border disputes, Paetongtarn appeared to criticize a Thai military commander and appease Cambodia. The investigation adds to pressure on Paetongtarn, who has already been suspended as prime minister by the country's Constitutional Court over the issue. The court is now weighing whether to remove her from office. The latest public opinion poll shows only 15% of respondents support Paetongtarn staying in power. The overwhelming majority either want her to resign or parliament to be dissolved.
