| dbo:abstract | Panthongtae Shinawatra (born December 2, 1979) (Thai: พานทองแท้ ชินวัตร; RTGS: Phanthongthae Chinnawat), nickname Oak, is the only son of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He became a billionaire after having been given a large portion of his father's stock in Shin Corporation which transferred to him shortly before Thaksin ascended to the position of prime minister. Panthongtae was admitted to the Faculty of Engineering at Thammasat University in 1998. However, he dropped out after one year. In 2000, he enrolled in Ramkhamhaeng University, an open admission government university, where he studied political science. In August 2002, his studies attracted media attention when he was accused of cheating in an exam. A three-week university investigation concluded that Panthongtae had made a mistake by carrying unrelated notes into the exam room and he was cleared of wrongdoing, yet he automatically failed the political science subject he was sitting. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2003. An amateur photographer, Panthongtae founded in 2003 a production company called How Come Entertainment (now Voice TV Co. Ltd.), which was awarded an exclusive advertising contract for the MRT and many other government contracts when his father was prime minister. This caused controversy and drew charges of nepotism, as How Come was a new firm and the advertising concession for the subway had previously been awarded to the long established Triad Networks Company. In early 2006, Panthongtae was involved in his family's sale of Shin Corporation stock to Temasek Holdings of Singapore. Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that Panthongtae, as director of Ample Rich Investments (a shell company set up in the British Virgin Islands to control Shin stock), had failed to properly notify the regulators of his holdings in Shin and sale of Shin shares, in transactions that occurred in 2000, 2001 and 2002. Prasong Vinaiphiat, deputy director of the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission, said: "The case is not severe because Panthongtae did inform the SEC but his report was not totally correct." He was fined 5.982 million baht (about US$150,000) for three violations of the Securities and Exchange Act. In November 2009, Panthongtae's company Voice TV (formerly How Come Entertainment) launched its own digital TV station of the same name with 300 million baht. (en) Panthongtae Shinawatra, Thai: พานทองแท้ ชินวัตร , bijnaam Khun Oak, (2 december 1978) is een Thais zakenman. Hij is de enige zoon van de rijke Thaise zakenman Thaksin Shinawatra. Het vermogen van Panthongtae is op papier hoger dan dat van zijn vader omdat veel van zijn vaders bezittingen op zijn naam zijn gezet. In december 2001 werd een staatsbezoek van zijn vader Thaksin aangewend om Panthongtae bij de Amerikaanse president George W. Bush te introduceren. Volgens zowel vader als zoon had de president hier speciaal om verzocht. In augustus 2002 was Panthongtae betrokken bij een examenschandaal op de . Hij werd betrapt op spieken tijdens zijn examens. Volgens een universiteitsonderzoek hadden de papieren met notities niets te maken met het examen en was het een eerlijke vergissing dat de papieren op zijn tafel lagen tijdens het examen. Op 24 juni 2003 werd bekendgemaakt door Panthongtae's universiteitsadviseur, , dat hij was afgestudeerd. Panthongtae was eerder overgestapt van de Thammasat-universiteit (Thailands hoogst gewaardeerde universiteit) naar de Ramkhamheang universiteit (meer vergelijkbaar met een hogeschool). Als reden daarvoor was aangegeven dat de leraren Panthongtae niet "eerlijk" beoordeelden. Na zijn afstuderen richtte Panthongtae een aantal eigen bedrijven op: * (19 november 2003) * een fotostudio * (2 december 2003) De Thai Rak Thai partij maakt bekend in juli 2003 dat ze Panthongtae graag verkiesbaar willen stellen omdat hij als een natuurtalent in de politiek gezien wordt. Panthongtae heeft een passie voor de fotografie en brengt in 2003 het boek Reflections of Life through the Lens uit. (nl) |
