Thaksin to build new city in Cambodia
PHNOM PENH – Thailand’s ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra plans to build a “modern city” in neighbouring Cambodia, according to local news reports. 


Thaksin, the owner of UK Premier League club Manchester City, outlined his plans for Koh Kong province near the Thai border during a meeting with Cambodia’s prime minister, Hun Sen.


A spokesman for the prime minister said Thaksin did not say how much money would be invested but indicated the planned city would include a financial centre, hospital, schools and housing. 


The spokesman says Hun Sen welcomed the plan, asking Thaksin to work on his project with the Council for the Development of Cambodia.
Back in Thailand, the former PM is facing a new challenge. The country’s Assets Scrutiny Committee has launched another case against Thaksin, charging him with corruption and abuse-of-power and asking the Supreme Court to permanently seize all 76.6 billion baht it has frozen from him and the Shinawatra family.
