Of Thailand : Of different approach...

Splash the world over! It's not Communist reds but Thaksin reds. They have successfully forced the government to abandon the ASEAN summit scheduled to be held in Pataya.

How different it is when Thailand authorities did not take necessary steps to cordon the area and ensuring that the summit can proceed smoothly. Instead, it shows demonstrators closing in on the hotel housing foreign leaders. In the end, the foreign leaders left the area via air, land and sea.

What perplex me is why the security breach? If friendly foreign leaders are exposed to these "show of strength" by Thaksin supporters, what will happen if hostile foreign leaders are in the country?

Lain padang lain belalang...Thailand shows its openess to opposition supporters, will this happen in Malaysia? Fat chance!!

However, Thailand maturity has robbed them of the sense of security. Will foreign tourists return to Thailand with all the uncertainties? What about their market? Changing of guards must be done at the polls..and not through road riots...

That said...serious thoughts should be given on how Malaysia should proceed from here...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
