Tuesday January 23,,2007,Thaksin: Thailand's credibility at stake,
BY ATSUSHI YAMADA, THE ASAHI SHIMBUN--http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200701230122.html(Kyodo) _ Thaksin said the September coup was notable in that it resulted in a populist leader being toppled from power.
---(IHT/Asahi: January 23,2007)
This, he said, highly damaged the country's credibility in the international community.
"Thais have enjoyed democracy and never want to be under a dictatorship or a non-democratic government," he said. "But they can be patient and tolerate such things to some extent, but not for too long."
Unless Thai think IHT and THE ASAHI SHIMBUN are not international major medias!!

Thaksin rules out political comeback, stresses Japan trip 'private'Asked why there is continuing criticism of him, he said this may stem from the fact that the interests of certain forces were undermined by programs initiated by his administration.
3.Thaksin also critized new government in Japan who dare not summon
Japan Ambassdor to Thailand.Reason:Jap is big country while Sg is tiny.
4.Money can blind courage--Jap is big aid donor and investor.

TOKYO — For someone who used to detest the media, Thailand's ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra seems to love the spotlight these days.
.
A week after giving interviews to CNN and The Wall Street Journal while on a personal visit to Singapore, Mr Thaksin spoke to the Asahi Shimbum, a leading Japanese newspaper, and Kyodo News, which published the interviews yesterday.
.
Observers are now watching whether this will spark off another diplomatic row.
.
The Thai military junta had reacted testily after the CNN interview and Mr Thaksin's private meeting with Deputy Prime Minister S Jayakumar — even cancelling an invitation to Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo.
.
The Thai government has chosen to remain silent so far, its response to Japan being far more muted than its reaction to Singapore.
.
.Analysts point out that Japan is one of Thailand's biggest aid donors and also accounts for nearly 50 per cent of foreign investments in the country
.
In baht, we truth

hey ! friend.. dont say tt Thai have not taken action against Japan. they r stupid coward gangsters. -
Oh well... This is what politics about I suppose(I'm not a political person)...
In my opinion, I think the Thai government is just trying to find fault with Singapore as I suppose they are still angry about the Temasak stuff regarding Thaksin... I don't see what's wrong with Thaksin visiting Singapore, since he is no longer in the Government(I suppose)... I wonder why the Thai government made a mountain out of an anthill regarding this... If there are hidden agendas, I have NO comments to that... But if they are just doing this to "bully" Singapore... I will still have NO comments to that... Or should I say that I don't want to comment on it... Period -
We should tell Singaporeans not to visit Thailand as long as this undemocratic Thai government is in place.

war of words still continue
1.Thai dunt want SG explain in public.Thai want SG's Ambassdor to Thai
speak in private.
To Sg,everything can be put under the sun.Why hide?"It is not appropriate for Singapore to issue such a statement." "If Singapore wants clarification of the remarks, Singapore can send its ambassador to Gen. Sondhi," Kitti (Wasinondh, the Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman.) told Thailand's Business Radio station.

2.SG implied Thai is a little too much.

MFA Spokesman's Comments on Thai Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Kitti Wasinondh's remarks of 24 January 2007In response to media queries, the MFA Spokesman said:
3.What SG means is Thai touchs on the political and diplomatic
"The Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to issue a public response to a public expression of concern because Council for National Security Chief GEN Sonthi Boonyaratglin had implied that Singapore could compromise Thai security. The implication of those remarks went beyond the commercial realm. It is also entirely appropriate that the Singapore Government elaborate on its regulatory principles to address concerns raised about its integrity as an international telecommunications hub."

...
issues and it is damn serious.Also,SG has her right to hit back,
by words.
4.Sg is tiny in size,but gaint in diplomacy.
Sg,then under high pressure and vulerable ,insisted to execute 2
Indonisian Marine who caused bombs exploded and killed people in SG.
SG insisited to cane Michael Faye even Clinton wrote
to SG President,though 2 strokes reduced.I think if Faye got
caught in other country,incl Elephant state,a private letter from US Ambassdor, or Secretary of State or the most
US Vice President could make him released.
How can you bully SG who has this kind of track records ? -
Hiyaz, you all can say what you want la. I think what we say also useless, some say boycott Thailand under the current gahment, some say this some say that. In the end sillyporeans will still go malaysia buy their grocery, go thailand shopping... go indonesia settle their sexual needs, go Australia retire.
If go war how many of you big talkers actually will be the first to report to camp huh?

I think politics are for people tell lie lah. All just cover their own ass only, who will admit they wrong. Pls lah, I also die die must save face... who care about human right or champion what freedom of speech. All these are nonsense in Singapore lah. You want freedom of speech you all just go other country lah, pls get out of singapore. You will never find in here.
