| DonÂ’t keep blaming Malaysia, Thais told |
| 2006-06-18 |
| Thailand should not blame Malaysia every time an incident occurs in the country's restive southern provinces. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said pointing fingers and placing blame on Malaysia would not improve the situation there. He said that if the Thai authorities had information, they could pass it to Malaysia so that both countries could cooperate to stop the violence. He was commenting on a statement by Narathiwat Governor Pracha Taerat on Thursday that more than 200 small bombs, each the size of a soda can and attached with a digital wristwatch, were smuggled from Malaysia in the past week. The statement came after an explosion near a drink shop in southern Yala province which wounded a truck driver, his wife and three others. Small bombs also exploded in toilets at five train stations in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat near the Malaysian border where the separatist insurgency has been concentrated. “I find it hard to believe that the weapons come from Malaysia as we have very strict controls on these things. Usually it is the reverse that happens. “If you tell me that petrol or sugar is smuggled (out of Malaysia) into Thailand, then I can believe that,” Syed Hamid said. |

| #3 #1 and #2, I tend to agree with you both. Why? Cos, spudhead FM Hamid is a chip off the old block. His dad was such an ultra racist in his time, a partisan fanatic. Secondly M'sia never had an respectable foreign policy.....remember dragging the sinking Viets boatpeople's boat out to sea? Or the even the Navy's rumored raping of Viet women on deserted island then? |

| #2 Malaysia is just picking up Mexico's foreign policy - "not my problem", while handing out roadmaps to the border. |

| #1 Usually it is the assholes in Islamic countries which deny forever the assholery of their Islamic cohorts. Thailand can begin to sterlize the southern provinces of the Islamic population. Send them packing or, if they choose, they can die in place. The Thai have an entrenched Kool Aid bunch - just read their newspapers and you find they have the same Moonbat Intelligentsia problem as Western countries. The regular folks know better, but they're good lifelong Buddhists who are very very slow to act. The government has to lead, or the campaign of slaughtering the peaceful Buddhists will continue. |
