BANGKOK: The Hat Yai district chief, who was removed from office for allegedly being unaccounted for during the flood crisis, insisted that he did not abandon the people but stayed in the district and did all he could to help flood victims.

Eak Young-Apai Na Songkhla made this denial on his Facebook page on Thursday (Nov 27) night after the Department of Provincial Administration (DPA) issued an urgent order earlier that day to dismiss him from government service.
