Malaysia, Thailand agree to build border wall amid trafficking woes

[Now or Never]

I hope they engage Donald Trump as the project consultant.

Another really stupid idea costing billions, poorly thought out as usual. Thainess is spreading to its Neighbors seems.

[Now or Never]

Mexico to build a wall between USA and Mexico !!!!

[WhizBang]

Well, this is brilliant and a huge waste of money. Someone should remind the idiots that came up with this idea that the biggest hole in Thailand's security is the immigration department, as they will let ANYONE enter for a price.

For sure they will build the wall very carefully, not to damage the many pipelines from the petroleum and palm oil smugglers, nor a few tunnels...

But sad times to come for wildlife that can't fly, but biodiversity and genetical mix are for sure on the agenda, for AD 2100

....I am literally lost for words!

Funny how in the picture that accompanies this story there is already a wall/fence.

Just going further and further into the past under the military. Checkpoint Somchai coming soon

Border fences never stopped anybody. 3 options are go over, under or through. I am sure they could send more military there to really crack down. Assassins killing innocent people should be put to death. Ask the Americans how their southern fence has worked out?

[englishoak]

huh, stupid is as stupid does. What are they gonna call it, the great wall of Thailand ?

Is the US stupid also for building an even longer wall with Mexico ?..need i ask that this is just another way to get a dig at Thailand .

Yes the US are massively dumb for that one too. Ill also happily state Malaysia are just as stupid as Thailand for this contribution to ASEAN integration and harmony.

Your obviously an apologist for idiots....

[Tonawatchee]

Yes, but the wall will have many secret doors for those in the know!

The Vietnamese have good experience in building deep cool tunnels with amenities.

[White Christmas13]

Well I guess I have the best option to this problem, my friend obtained a large part of the Berlin Wall

he can send it over fore a discount price and Thailand will save a lot on construction fees

Ohh..what the wonderful world ...Armstrong

Another brick in the wall...Pink Floyd.

I think they exausted all ideas and the best is The Wall.

I took a bus along that road close to the Thai-Malaysian border (Malaysian side). In the interior part it is pretty wild and mountainous. Not going to be easy. And knowing how things are done in these parts I expect there would a be secret passage revealed only to those who pay up.

Anyway, there will always be the two coasts.

I hope they engage Donald Trump as the project consultant.

"....As you know, I know how to build. I know how to get it done. We'll have a great wall. We'll call it the Great Wall of Trump. We'll have a great wall and it will be - it'll be actually -- it can be a good-looking wall, as walls go, but we will have a really terrific wall and it will be gone for the right price. You know, for years, they've wanted to do it. I don't know if you know, even Hillary Clinton, I mean, for years they've wanted to do it, but they could never get it figured out how to get it done. And, you know, one of the things that stopped it was the environmental impact statement. Can you believe it?..." -Donald Trump

You can't make this stuff up!
