It is the second time Suriya has postponed the meeting, citing health reasons.Suriya's lawyer Boonsong Termwat said the former minister had been admitted to Siriraj Hospital and asked to have the appointment postponed 45 days. The lawyer said Suriya was suffering from nausea and emitting blood through excretion. The committee has yet to decide whether it will allow Suriya to postpone his scheduled appearance another 45 days. A meeting will be held this morning to consider his request. Meanwhile, Udom Fuangfung, chairman of an AEC subcommittee looking into alleged irregularities in a Bangkok land purchase by Pojaman Shinawatra, wife of ousted prime minister Thaksin, said the committee should be able to investigate on May 15.
