Srettha Thavisin only became PM last August

The 62-year-old Srettha, who has been in power for less than a year, is the third PM in 16 years to be removed by the same court. He will be replaced by an interim leader until Thailand's parliament convenes to elect a new prime minister.

  Business owner Louis Ho remembers how so many of Hong Kong's taxi drivers refused to take him and his mother - who was a wheelchair user - to hospital for routine check-ups. “I didn’t even need the driver to carry my mum or the wheelchair. I did everything myself,” says the 64-year-old whose mother passed away in 2018. He is one of many Hong Kongers who have a story to tell about their city's infamous cabbies.

That depends on who you ask. A single campaign cannot school rude or mis...
