Supporters of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra wear white gloves with "love Puu" (her nickname) written on them. The embattled former prime minister shocked the nation yesterday by failing to show up for the final judgement in her rice-pledging scheme trial. A guilty verdict in the dereliction of duty case could have seen Ms Yingluck face a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a lifetime ban from politics. "Khun Yingluck travelled to Cambodia and then took a flight to Singapore to catch another to Dubai," the source said. The sources said Ms Yingluck also holds a Nicaraguan passport, as does Mr Thaksin.
