Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended by the country’s Constitutional Court on Tuesday (Jul 1), pending an ethics investigation over accusations she was too deferential to Cambodian ex-leader Hun Sen when the two discussed a recent border dispute in a phone call.Â
The leaked call with the veteran Cambodian politician triggered domestic outrage and has left Paetongtarn’s coalition with a razor-thin majority, with a key party abandoning the alliance and expected to soon seek a no-confidence vote
She is the third member of her family to hold the prime minister’s office – and the third to face the possibility of removal before her term ended.Â
