I have been following the news especially the Mumbai blast and the Thai Anti-Government protesters. My deepest sympathy to the families of the victims that had died in the Mumbai blast.

I followed closely on the hostage reports reported by the media especially the Singaporean hostage. I was hoping she would be released and survived the whole ordeal. Unfortunately, she didn’t come out from it alive. As a fellow Singaporean, her death was deeply felt by me and I’m sure by the rest of the Singaporeans.

I totally hadn’t expected the turnabouts. Really not expected it..

Another one which had me very concerned is the protests in Thailand. I’m not sure if the PAD can come out with the best government and keep up with their promises which every one of its members are enthralled about, but I am sure that whatever they are doing is wrong.

If what the TV news and newspapers showed were true, the PAD members behaves almost identical to a terrorist. They chase down officials, break and slam cars into unrecognizable metal junk and happily open fire to protest their unhappiness for the current government.

How could the PAD allow such acts to pass among its supporters. If this is what the new promised government would be in the future, then its a good thing I’m in Malaysia.

If I were in the position of the current prime minister, I would rally my police force block the entrance and exit of where the protesters were residing, efficiently locking them in. I would make sure that no food, water and any other supplies can reach the protesters. They want to have a new government, then let them make their own amongst them in that lock-up building.

If trying to be a diplomat doesn’t work with them, them use an iron fist ruling like Stallin on them.

The PAD are really selfish. It was already proven that the majority Thais have voted the current prime minister in and want him to stay in. Just because a few ten thousand of selfish PAD members doesn’t get their leader on the seat, they want to force the prime minister to step down. It’s either PAD way or no way.

Selfish and inconsiderate. Should have used the ISA act on them. They really are endangering the safety of the country to the point of being a traitor to the White Elephant nation.

I’ve studied the history of south-east Asia for years. I know the history of Thailand like the back of my hands. The beloved King Chulalongkorn would certainly be disappointed at how his people turn out to be, greedy and not one-heart and one-nation.

Siam or Thailand is a beautiful country filled with beautiful historical artifacts and immense history. To see a neighbour that has never been ruled by any foreign colonies like the French or East India Company gone to waste just because of a few greedy individuals who sought for their personal gains. In fact, if I can remember their history properly, there has never once been an outbreak of terrorist in that country.

But that is just my personal insight. I’m not trying to instigate anyone with my normal yake-di-yaks. I’m not even paid for rambling around like a senile old hag. Hopefully no one takes offense to this.
