Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai had a smile and thumbs-up at the cabinet meeting, insisting he will not resign over the mini-kerfuffle of his wife's shares. (Photo by Apichit Jinakul)Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai insisted Tuesday he will not resign from office, saying his wife had already reduced her shareholding in a private company. My wife has already cleared her shareholdings, which she inherited from her father 37 years ago," the minister said. "As the law prohibits a cabinet minister or spouse from holding shares exceeding 5%, those involved must follow it,'' the minister said. It voted 3:2 against clearing Mr Don after learning that his wife did not disclose her 5% shareholding in a family firm.
