A leader must not get carried away by flattery which can poison his mind and alter his perception of reality, said Bhumjaithai Party spokesman, Paradorn Prisnanantakul. In an interview with the Bangkok Post, Mr Paradorn said he did not regret being forthright on the matter. As a private person, Mr Paradorn said he initially struggled with the public nature of his job. While a spokesman is expected to be the voice of the party, Mr Paradorn said initially his views didn't always reflect the party line. But it's the truth," the Bhumjaithai spokesman said, adding his critics should have supported his decision to be vocal about the app's weaknesses.
