| Thailand’s army-appointed government will take no action against Myanmar’s junta for its bloody crackdown on democracy protests as it lacks the moral authority, Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said on Saturday. Surayud, a former army chief who was installed after last year’s military coup, said any action by an interim government in Bangkok could also create headaches for any successor that emerged after a Dec. 23 general election. “As a Buddhist country, we disagreed with the violence dealt out by the Myanmar government, especially against the monks,” Surayud said in a weekly television address. “But if we do anything that will cause bad feelings with our neighbour, that will be problematic for the new elected government,” he said. “My government, therefore, is very careful on this issue.” |
