An unexpected Yingluck-related lede…

2011 07 11 yingluck noodles

…comes from Saturday’s Bangkok Post, which noted:

The EC is investigating an allegation that Pheu Thai’s potential candidate for premiership Yingluck Shinawatra violated election law when she cooked fried noodles and distributed it to the voters during a May 31 campaign stop in Nakhon Ratchasima province. But at first glance, it is likely she did nothing wrong.

(Emphasis mine.)

BP has some commentary.

It appears unlikely that anything will come of this alleged transgression. But just noting it for the record, given former PM Samak’s food-related firing in 2008.
