Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday, August 15, pledged to perform to her utmost as she completed religious rites before starting her first day of work at her office at Government House.
"I will work to the best of my ability and for the people's interest," she said.
Yingluck arrived at the compound in a black Volkswagen, reached the Thai Khu Fah Building at 9.19am, then paid homage to the guardian spirits besides the building at 9.29am and the Brahman shrine on the roof at 9.39am.
The first female prime minister in Thailand history said she felt honoured paying her respects to the sacred statues but did not believe in auspicious numbers.
"9" is known as a lucky number among Thais.
"Today is a good day. Anytime after 9am is propitious for me and boosts my morale to begin my work," she said.
Her office is the same one used by her older brother Thaksin, who is now a fugitive from the law.
"I feel proud and glad to be another person whom people trust (to work for them)," she managed to say.
