[Vnbiz] RE : Thai Coup D'Etat

Fri Sep 22 18:22:57 PDT 2006

Dear Hoanh,

Just very quick idea.

The coin always has 2 sides, sometime being the democracy with wrong leader
cause the country enormous losses and sometime coup is not that bad when the
leader does not want to take over the control. Moreover, we all know that
governments are corrupted but when it come to selling the country (like what
Taksin, Former Thailand Prime minister was doing) - nobody can accept that.

I have a list of more than 100 questions to Taksin which never been
answered. If you want to know about what he has done please tell me.

For your information, last election there was 'no vote' around 12 million.

What would you do if you were him? What does it mean if the majority of
educated people hate their leader so much? Also, another thing you need to
know is the majority of Thais are uneducated people who could be buy out
with $10-20USD easily. But I tell you what, Taksin did it better than that -
tell me if you want to know more.

Lastly, if Thais do not take any action like this, Thailand will be just
next Philippine or Indonesia which is even better because Vietnam will have
even more chance to surpass Thailand.

Best wishes,
Ben
