webfact Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Chalerm to hold talks on South in M'sia The Nation BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung will travel to Malaysia tomorrow as part of efforts to tackle the insurgency in the deep South, where the violence continues unabated with an attack in Narathiwat leaving one person injured yesterday. Chalerm refused to reveal whom he planned to meet in Malaysia, saying only that the region's problems required the cooperation not only of domestic groups, but also of neighbouring countries. Holding talks with parties on the Malaysian side did not represent an upgrade of the problem to the international level, he said. In Narathiwat's Rangae district, a driver of a Tambon Administrative Organisation was seriously injured when insurgents ambushed a pickup truck he was driving for a deputy TAO chairman and other officials. Driver Haribin Katai, 33, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was rushed to a nearby hospital before being transferred to Narathiwatrachanakarin Hospital in serious condition. Mayalee Salae, 38, deputy TAO chairman, said he and five other officials were in the pickup, being driven by Haribin to Narathiwat's Muang district to attend a New Year party. Two men on a motorcycle opened fire on their vehicle as it travelled on a road in the district. The bullets hit the driver, who managed to control the pickup and bring it to a halt on the roadside. None of the passengers was hurt. The attack took place as Defence Minister General Sukampol Suwannathat was visiting the province's Rusoh district. Sukampol was briefed that since April, 93 suspects have been arrested. Seven of them were the subjects of arrest warrants, while 32 others were wanted under the Emergency Decree. In a related development, Edu-cation Minister Pongthep Thepkan-jana presided over a special seminar on "graduate teacher volunteers," a project initiated to deploy qualified personnel to help teach students in the deep South as replacements for the many teachers who have applied for transfers out of the area. Karun Sakulpradit, a regional education official, said 1,610 graduates would be deployed to villages in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat in the near future. In Songkhla, security officials distributed sketches of four men suspected of involvement in the violence and of plotting to sneak into the province to instigate unrest during the New Year festival. Meanwhile, police investigator Pol Lt-Colonel Kaisaeng Tawinwongse of Khon Kaen's Ban Fang district said he and other officers would file complaints with the Police Commission today over a new policy to randomly select 150 police investigators to work in three southernmost provinces by drawing lots. The drawing of lots by 6,000 investigators was ordered by National Police commissioner-general Pol General Adul Saengsingkaew, and would take place on January 7. Kaisaeng described the process as unfair and discriminatory, as it was being used only to select police investigators, not for other positions. If the Royal Police Commission insisted on conducting the draw, he and other officers would file complaints with the Administrative Court, he said. -- The Nation 2012-12-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChrisY1 Posted December 27, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2012 Neighbouring countries????....Really don't think Singapore and Indonesia have much to do with the south of Thailand region......most likely the last thing they want to be involved in. Also.....national cops now have to go into a "lottery" and may be drawn to (win?) become an "investigator" in the south......another brilliant strategy to help solve the problem!

hellodolly Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Well Chalerm ought to be just as useless in Malaysia as he would be here in Thailand. Solving the problems in the deep south will be just another failure on the list of Chalerm failures. Arse kissing is not on that list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Holding talks with parties on the Malaysian side did not represent an upgrade of the problem to the international level, he said. Yet another one of Mr Chalerms whimsical comments and an opertunity to obtain his medicine "duty free" If the problem does not have an international connotation then why is a major issue the flying of the Malaysian flag on Thai soverign territory.?

Popular Post Thaddeus Posted December 27, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wasn't he instructed to go and visit the three southern provinces not so long ago, I suppose that in his mind passing over them at 30,000 feet counts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunken Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Chalerm will hold video conferences, spout his usual verbal diarrhoea & visit the South Pole - anywhere & anything but visit the south. Great to see someone with his finger on the pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzMick Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm sure someone could arrange for Police Lt-Col Kaisaeng to win first prize, a trip to sunny southern Thailand. Must be a shock to him when they come up with a selection process that doesn't involve bribery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Firstly...thanks for the Billy Connolly...I needed a good giggle this morning! Secondly...Chalerm must really want a big bowl of Wan Tan Mee pretty badly....or...kinda like the deaf leading the blind/spastic/stupid...whatever. More hot air gonna be expended without result.

Akin to Keystone Kops Unfortunately, they are very much implicated. Indonesia has served as a hideout for regional Islamic jihadists for some time and Singapore has long been implicated in money laundering. I love Singapore, but much like HSBC was recently implicated in a $7billion financing scandal of Mexican drug cartels, so too are Singaporean financial institutions alleged to be implicated in the laundering and conveying of regional terrorist funds.

Sent from my GT-P6200 using Thaivisa Connect App You feel sorry, yet you seem oblivious to the porous border. Malaysia has not been much of a security partner with Thailand. Malaysia could do more, but there is a very vocal fundamentalist Islamic movement in Malaysia that has been pretty good at targeting ethnic Chinese and Tamils. They have a similar view of the "idol worshippers" of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rubbish. You hate Thaksin, fine, I get it. However, your attempt to blame Thaksin for the long standing southern insurgency that precedes the Thaksin era demonstrates an abject ignorance of the fundamental issues in the conflict.

attento Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 He might not be the right man to go on this mission. He might not meet the most appropriate member of the Malaysian government. He might not be able to have a lucent or meaningful conversation. But, eventually, a cross-border dialogue resulting in a joint plan of action - whenever it happens - will be the only way this conflict will be resolved.

That's not what he wrote. As for ignorance, wise up and read about Thaksin's massive esclation of the issue. Thaksin and the resurgence of violence in the Thai South . .
