Master Debater (and Origamist)

This week the Thai Parliament held a censure debate - where the opposition party gives a typically scathing critique of the ruling party, who then defend themselves.

During the censure, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, otherwise known as Mr. Rose Apple Nose, once again demonstrated his mastery of "I know you are, but what am I" diplomacy.

He also shared one of his lesser-known talents - making Origami birds.




Mr Samak, a 73-year-old former television chef known for his uncompromising manner, sat through the address contemptuously folding origami paper birds



As punishment for not paying attention in Parliament, Samak will serve 3 days detention and will not be allowed to play with the other MPs during recess.
