Discuss.

I think that's enough links for now.

Oh, by the way, I'm 11 hours late on this. So a few of you should know about this.

My teacher talked about it in school today. Surprising eh. Though it has to come. Thaksin said he wanted to step down at that time, but never did. By time someone actually did something.

Oh well it all started with ShinCorps then Temasek Holdings and election frauds...
I think Thaksin knew all the things he did... He sold the Thai's telecom company to Temasek and had a lot of money...
Then he supposedly cheated in the elections.
Cheated in the re-elections.
Was STRONGLY opposed by 70% of the Thai population and he still stood by his call that he was innocent...
Went to America and boom! Yay a military coup.

Oh well he deserved it. A leader without morality. Fancy selling a country's telecom to Temasek Holdings which is Singaporean-based lol... Cheating in the elections twice too...

And you know what? He said that he is still the Prime Minister and that the military coup will not be successful. I don't get it... The damage that he incurred in Thailand is so massive and yet he thinks his good enough to lead the Thais who hate him?

Well, it's good he's gone. Hopefully the next Prime Minister won't be so bad.

Also, I went to Thailand around 2 years ago. Beautiful country.

Ah, we talked about this in class today for civics. I also picked the same article for one of the assignments we are having. Looks like it is for the good, pretty sneaky if you ask me. They take over while the PM was in NY.:)

woot! the prime minister of thailand is staying in england:D
