Is telenor a private company or a nationalised firm?Originally posted by qooorange:The Shin Corp deal is blotched because of Thaksin, not because of Temasek. Telenor, a norwegian firm, owned majority of Total Access Communication (DTAC) in Thailand via a thai nominee company. DTAC is a mobile communications firm. Why no complains?
There is nothing wrong in Temasek buying over Shin Corp as Shin Corp is a public listed company and by that it means that anyone can buy the shares. The so called "national asset" satellites are also not a concern because ShinSat is only 40+% owned by Shin Corp, majority is owned by the Thai government. The assets are in Thailand, operated by Thais and owned by Thais. How can Singapore spy on their military? In fact, the claim would seem idiotic at best because a satellite acts like a mirror and security should be implemented at the end communication. If the communication channel is not encrypted, anyone including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam or Malaysia can simply spy on their communication over the air.
Udon airbase. Singapore signed an MOU with the Thais to use their airspace for training for 3 years. In return, Singapore allows Thai military planes to use Singapore airbase. Singapore also gave them 7 F16 A/Bs for free.

too bad to the thai it is. The thai military belongs to the thai king and the king thinks that thailand belongs to him only. This is thai democracy.Originally posted by sgdiehard:so tell us what exactly word for word the thai ppl said, no soya sauce and no tom yam soup pls.pls ensure that the thai ppl you quote here are not linked with the green uniform ppl. Military that took over government by force in coup is not legitimate hor.
