News and commentary from Thailand and Southeast Asia. Bird flu, violence in Southern Thailand and continued corruption are current themes in this part of the world. You can also find out about my latest research and publications. Welcome to the Land of Smiles.
I was just blog-surfing and thought I'd see what your journal is about. You have great content, and I like your layout. Your text is a bit small, but otherwise, your blog looks great.
Good afternoon,
The censure debate against the government will begin tomorrow – it has been brought forward, apparently, to reduce the risk of more mass pro-democracy rallies affecting the national sentiment. No confidence votes are due to be held on Friday – PAD leader Kasit Piromya, ‘controversially’ awarded the Foreign Ministry by the quisling, is thought to be the most vulnerable, even though police seem to be no closer to charging him and the other conspirators who seized the international airports four months ago, despite the overwhelming evidence against them.
On the basis that irrelevancy is ignored, it appears that the right wing establishment’s supporters in the media are still worried about the truth.
If I might draw your attention to this: Walsh, John, "The Rising Importance of Chinese Labour in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region," The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 12-2-09 (March 16, 2009), available online at: http://www.japanfocus.org/products/details/3088.
Back tomorrow.
