PM defends Mongolia speech | Bangkok Post: news: "Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has defended her controversial speech, made in Mongolia, insisting it was not aimed at "whitewashing" her fugitive brother and ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
The prime minister, who was back in Thailand yesterday, was at the centre of controversy after she made a strongly worded speech at a democracy forum in Ulan Bator.
In the speech she said the 2006 coup had derailed democracy in Thailand and overthrew Thaksin _ the elected prime minister at the time."
