Tomorrow is judgement day for Ms Yingluck for her role in overseeing the loss-ridden rice scheme. Ms Yingluck has denied all wrongdoing in her handling of the rice scheme, one of the flagship policies of her former Pheu Thai government. Some 1,000 supporters turned up outside the court on Aug 1, when Ms Yingluck delivered her closing statement in the trial. Thanachart Securities strategist Adisak Phupiphathirungul said Ms Yingluck can still file an appeal if found guilty. It is difficult to assess whether Ms Yingluck has appointed nominees for equity holding, he said.
