Public Urged To Watch Out For Suspicious Activities By Foreigners: Thai Army Commander

[geriatrickid]

*Deleted quote edited out*

I am reminded of the following incident;

Balbir Singh Sodhi was gunned down on Sept. 15, 2001 in Mesa, Arizona. The turban-wearing Sikh was killed outside his gas station. Sodhi's killer spent the hours before the murder in a bar, bragging of his intention to "kill the ragheads responsible for September 11." He has been convicted and sits on death row.

I really wish people wouldn't use such nasty terms. The Sikhs served in the British expeditionary forces in Burma and helped keep the Japanese from invading India. They are hardly a threat to my safety. I would gladly sit beside one on an airplane.

Hope the army commander said foreigners and not farangs. We farangs are not the same and middle eastern people are definitely not farangs!

Only 80000 police officers in Bangkok? That's more than twice as many as metropolitan London with a similar population.

and much larger than the whole Australian defence force

BANGKOK: -- Army Commander in Chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha urged the people to watch out for suspicious activities by foreigners to minimise acts of terrorism.

Why foreigners? Are the foreigners the only ones who get up to no good? Are Thais really that honest and law abiding that the public doesn't have to be concerned that they may do evil like drop some ltter or something like that.

Do the Thai government officials really hate farangs that much. All those nasty farangs down south planting bombs and attacking the military.
