#240 thai red-tees

Sad indeed to see and hear that the red-tees protestors (of ousted and exiled Thaksin) stormed into the venue where the Asian Summit leaders were to meet over the weekend. The leaders were evacuated and the meeting cancelled. These protestors appear to become bolder and bolder as the day passes… “The government can’t do anything,” said Lada [...]

Interestingly, within a span of four months, there was a change of leadership in Thailand – from Samak to Somchai to Abhisit. What were the protestors thinking when they sat in the two airports halting all flights and creating an economic crisis within the nation? Were they not slapping their own cheeks? Have they not made life difficult for the masses? Have [...]

Mongolia is in a confused state – some Mongolians took to protest allegating that votes were rigged. Does freedom means protest and destruction of premises and getting one another arrested – in the name of human rights which the world is hawking on China’s human rights issue? If Mongolians do not appreciate freedom, will there be elections in future? Will the world point a [...]

I love watching the Olympic Games. Every country that hosted the Games have always been the best…the joys and jubilance. The athletes and sportspersons are a great inspiration…their persistence, diligence and fortitude in perfecting their skills! Oh what joy to watch the display of their talents! However, I felt sick viewing the footages of protests on the Olympic Torch [...]

The Olympic Torch is a symbol for peace. Looking at the pictures (unfortunately I’ve not been able to post pictures on my blog),  the faces of protestors looked agitated and angry…these show they are not peace protestors. They’re more agitators. Protests always bring the worst out of the human beings, no matter how peaceful! The London and Paris leg of [...]

A China analyst on the BBC reckoned Chinese leaders do care what others say…so now I’m going to see the triumph of more threats of boycott at the Opening of the Olympic Games resulting from putting this prominent human rights activist in jail. Well, with the slowing of world economy on the horizon externally and high inflation together with this recent Tibet [...]

Is the protest and unrest in Tibet an external instigation exploiting the discontented nationals? Is this not folly of the nationals to fall prey to such designs of unrest or protest? Is this the only way to embrace or stimulate change? Every one loses when incited to anger and chaos. The Tibetans have been feeling the lack of ‘something’ – many [...]
