Politics is a game where there are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests. The old saying was proved true again recently when veteran politician Ruangkrai Leekitwattana switched from the opposition camp to join the ruling Palang Pracharath Party.

 

The former Pheu Thai member defected over a month ago and was quickly appointed to the committee vetting the 2022 budget bill under Palang Pracharath’s quota, becoming committee spokesman.

 

Ruangkrai’s educational background and experience in drafting budgetary plans apparently make him a good fit for the panel. One reason he was chosen for the committee was to defend the budget and counter scrutiny from opposition members.

never heard expression "giant killer of politics" or this politician.

Maybe in his case it's appropriate.

on top of some bananas from the drug minister, he might also has some looming criminal charges (land encroachment being a popular one, unusually wealth growing wife, child or a sibling)

Mustn't be so cynical. This guy could be the next Churchhill who switched parties a couple times.
