He's trying to make clean new image of Thailand
Cronyist corruption, suppression of dissenters, re-writing law to

icing
on
the plum cake, disdain for long-term consequences including

environmental
impact . .
Yes, a real clean new image he's trying to make.

and it's unfortunate that the people do not realise it.
Remarkable, since he spends so many hours in front of tv cameras
broadcasting what he says he is doing. I guess people must be

seriously
deluded--pehaps some evil spirits have taken over their minds?

As a biz man he is trying to change the facade of his country
"facade' is a good choice of word.

into an economic power in SEA region.
OIC--just need the right sort of make-over, pretty up her face some.

Never
mind the fundamentals--why would investors care about such?

Selling Shin Corp is nothing more than good biz sense
Just like transferring big chunks of Shin to his household servants

was,
since those 'inconvenient' laws forbade him to maintain control while
'serving' as PM.
Silly laws--like that one that had Shin strapped to being controlled

by
Thai, as if something as essential as communication and information

services
wouldn't do better if controlled by Singapore money. Sure fixed *that*
problem, now didn't he?

and it's a pity that the people do not realise the true implications.
Such a shame that some look at a thief and see a thief--shame on them.



OK, maybe he makes a good chunk of money out of it, but so what?

Is Thailand going to depend on the sex trade and the drugs trade

forever.?
Yes, much bigger money than agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing.
I'm waiting SO very expectantly for your detailed economic analysis of
Thailand's economy, as it's obvious you know so very well what you're
talking about.

Thanksin is trying to change this and get the people to rely on the
manufacturing and IT sector but the people are not ready. That's the
problem. The people are just not ready. They don't have the thinking

power
that he has and the vision that he has.

Yes, just a bunch of dumb little people whose poor little brains can't
compare with his Mandarin superiority.
Do you think the Great Man might permit you to grovel before his

superior
feet?
After all, *you* applaud his superiority so very well.

further breathless bull**** snipped

What is wrong for a Singapore company to purchase the telecommunication

business in Thailand.

Do you also figure it's just fine that Temasek's borrowing half the

money
from Thai banks?

snipped straw man proposition
I see you have nothing to say to my comments, so you just write some
nonsense about what you say I approve of.


What you have said about Thaksin were before his last election but he
was re-elected with stronger mandate. So what's wrong? If the people
have nothing against what he had done, what right has the small group of
opposition to demand for his resignation and even boycott the election.

What is wrong for Temasek's borrowing from Thai banks, it's still
commercial transaction.
