Re: Peace to the World

I second SC's call for peace...especially amongst Singaporean and Malaysian brothers. It is bad enough that we may all be wiped out in near future by: -a crazy pro-war President Dubya Bush (whose legacy is being the worst President ever) -nuclearphilic pro-war Iran President -an autocratic war-prone North Korean President -a losing global health war with birdflu (which can wipe out 150million people) -global oil war due to escalating global energy crisis so we do not need war amongst brother over such trivial, petty matters. Bonk while U can 'cos when it goes plonk, U will be just another statistic and not know what hit U

Anti-S'pore stance lacks justification
Report from Bangkok Post dated Wednesday 22 Match 2006 :-
COMMENTARY : Anti-S'pore stance lacks justification By Boonsong Kositchotethana It is understandable that the anti-Thaksin force has resorted to an anti-Singapore campaign to pressure the Singapore Government's investment arm Temasek Holdings to drop the controversial 73.3-billion-baht Shin Corp deal with the embattled prime minister's family. But the People's Alliance for Democracy's continued noisy campaign calling for the Thai public to boycott goods and services from the island republic in general, has gone too far. The call lacks justification, is unfair, unreasonable and detrimental to the relatively sound bilateral relations, particularly on the economic front, between Thailand and Singapore which date back four decades. The PAD's expression of disapproval of the Shin-Temasek deal and the keenness with which it wants Thaksin Shinawatra ousted from politics may make more sense if it were restricted to the parties directly involved, not the nations and their people. Waving banners and placards reading, ''Cut relations with Singapore. Don't buy Singapore products'' and setting ablaze placards depicting Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Merlion, the republic's national symbol, at the Singapore Embassy will only s+++e fires of hatred and hostility among people of the two friendly countries. The political activists should cease instilling the anti-Singapore sentiment among Thais to drive their political goal and hurting relations where both countries gain mutually. There is a great danger that this anti-Singapore sentiment may escalate into an anti-foreigner frenzy that would only impair foreign investment which Thailand, with its open economy, needs. Thailand and Singapore are dependent on each other in many ways including trade, business, investment and tourism. The two-way trade volume between the kingdom and the city state have been increasingly steadily over the past few years, reaching 517,063 million baht last year, up from 449,376 million baht in 2004, according to Commerce Ministry figures. The bilateral trade balance has been in Thailand's favour. Last year, the kingdom exported 300,542 million baht worth of goods to Singapore while imports from that country were worth 216,521 million baht. Except Japan, Singapore was high on the list of major Asian investments in Thailand, which last year attracted 704 billion baht in direct foreign investment, up from 637.2 billion baht in 2004, or an increase of 10%. Japan retained its long-standing status as the largest contributor of foreign direct investment to Thailand last year, representing 46% of the total followed by the US, the EU and Asian countries. The new investment created 200,000 jobs across Thailand. Thailand was seen as a top priority investment venue for Singapore, which was prepared to put its huge amount of capital here because of the clarity of investment rules, lack of capital controls, and generally speaking, political stability, compared to other countries in the region. Aside from investment funds, Singapore's direct investment in Thailand came mostly in real estate and service sectors such as telecoms and consumer-related business. In the tourism sector, Thailand and Singapore enjoy close tourism links. Singapore has been the fifth largest tourist market for Thailand in terms of arrival numbers, after Malaysia, Japan, South Korea and China. In 2004, about 700,000 Singaporeans visited Thailand, spending an average of US$112.15 a day in Thailand, higher than those from other Asean states, and staying longer than many others, with an average of 5.3 days. In the first half of last year, Singaporean arrivals jumped 17% to 480,000 and the Tourism Authority of Thailand was optimistic about another record for the whole of 2005. However, there were fewer Thais going to Singapore - 279,186 in 2004 and 160,437 in the first half of 2005. Unfortunately, what we are seeing now is a a trend toward reversion, with a halt in investment and business deals from Singapore, and many Singaporean tourists delaying their plans to take a holiday in Thailand due to this domestic political conflict which the island republic has been accidentally dragged into.

Two bombs found at Democrat Party headquarter
Report from The Nation dated Monday 27 Match 2006 :-
Two bombs found at Democrat Party headquarter Two bombs were discovered early Monday close to offices of Democrat party and they were set to explode at 10.50am. But police found them before they exploded, police said on Monday. Police were alerted at about 6.30am when a city cleaner found a box wrapped with wireless on the floor close to Kuang Apaiwongse building. She then alerted Democrat Party staffs. When police arrived at 9.30am, they found two boxes contained the explosives which were set to explode at 10.50am. Police defused the bombs at 10.15am. Police said, "They are TNT bombs and very light," he said. The bombs were found as Democrat leaders were meeting in another building with other opposition parties, Democrat Party's spokesman Ong-art Klampaiboon said. A small bomb exploded March 9 outside the official residence of the chief adviser to Thailand's king, but caused little damage and minor injuries to two passersby. Another small bomb exploded on February 22 outside the offices of a Buddhist cult affiliated with Chamlong Srimuang, a former political mentor of Thailand's prime minister who is leading protests to demand the premier step down.
