Who had the penis enlargement?

Bangkok - Thailand's prime minister is trying to ferret out a government minister who allegedly had a penis enlargement procedure, saying news of it is affecting the cabinet's reputation, a news report said on Wednesday.
"Who did it? Tell me," Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told his ministers at Tuesday's cabinet meeting, triggering a round of banter and causing some to squirm in their chairs, The Nation newspaper said.
Last week, a woman - being sued for defamation by a clinic after she claimed it gave her a face-disfiguring silicon injection - said a cabinet member had received a penis-enlargement injection at the same clinic and urged him to come forward as a witness in her defence.
Calling on the official through reporters on the steps of Government House on Tuesday, the woman, Rawiwan Setharat, said, "The problem of my face is bigger than the problem of your penis."
"This has affected the reputation of the cabinet, because the news went around the world. I don't want the people to think the cabinet members are obsessed with this kind of thing," the newspaper quoted Thaksin as telling his ministers.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Agriculture Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan said no one had admitted to the enlargement procedure. Other ministers joked about various suggestions on how he could be identified.
