And it w...I can't take credit for the word "Toxin". And it wasn't coined by the balmy-lefty "intellectuals" either.<br /><br />The word "Toxin" has its etymological roots in the <i>slither-tongued</i> <b>corporate</b> world.<br /><br />One of the first people Thaksin pissed off were the business people — certain corporations were "favoured", others sacrificed — in a manner of speaking. IMO, this was a big error — these folks were the ones who supported him and his "pro-business" policies.<br /><br />Mid-term, he embarked on a "moral crusade" now presuming the role of <b><i>messiah</i></b> as well as being the foremost civil servant.<br /><br />A would-be messiah. Armed with the absolute power of authority of the state to enforce his "morality".<br /><br />Man, the dude was <b>JAMMIN'</b>! Who can blame him?<br /><br />I do however claim originality in the moniker: <b>Toxic Shitwater</b>. <br /><br />Thaksin, is essentially a leader in exile. He's been stripped of his <i>legitimate</i> authority. Just like the Dalai Lama. I hope they get together soon and "bond" as buddies over brandy and cigars.Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-59878859828670218352007-01-21T21:18:00.000+08:002007-01-21T21:18:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-84307653694249700342007-01-21T17:40:00.000+08:002007-01-21T17:40:00.000+08:00Sorry, I meant :

And manipulated by him.<br /><br />Are we aware of the CNA interview?<br /><br />In view of the Shin Corp-Temasek scandal, we should be more careful.<br /><br />We are never good at admitting mistakes. Playing 'taichi' will aggravate the matter.<br />Of couse, we can present our case or reasons, but at the end of this, if we could just apologise for any unintended consequences, it will be good. <br /><br />The other countries are not in a similar 'soup' as they do not have a Shin Corp scandal (Shin-gate) to deal with.<br />So we cannot compare the Thais' treatment of our country with their treatment with other countires.<br /><br /><br />Our MFA has cocked up big...what is our Ambassador doing in Bang-kok ?<br />He could also have advised our govt NOT to entertain the Thaksin.<br /><br />This incident reminds us we had some problems with Philippines over the hanging of Flor Contempsion when Wong Kan Seng was the Foreign Minister in the 90s.<br />We mishandled badly the diplomatic route and our Ambassador was recalled then; and our Singaporeans were threatened so much so that SIA flight crew were not allowed to go to the city but had to turn around for the return flight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-43536344221515333682007-01-19T17:03:00.000+08:002007-01-19T17:03:00.000+08:00Taksin is good in this kind of publicity.

Why don't he did that in other place.<br /><br />Actually Taksin is trying to catch world's media to spread out his message by travel to many countries before his diplomate passport will be expired on 25 January 2007.<br /><br />Taksin always claims that he was elected by majority Thai under democrazy. <br /><br />Indeed; during his 5 years as a Prime Minister, he control everything himself and his wife. The cabinet members are not allow to think but just do what he said. The Senate member is controlable by him. Government Officers who did not follow his orders were dismissed or relocated. The Police Dept. also under his control.<br /><br />Furthermore; most of the Government contracts were control by his subordinates and relatives. This brings up a tremendous corruption by these group of people. This is the most severe corruption ever happen in Thailand.<br /><br />Taksin; as a PM: has never answer any question in the Thai Parliament during his term. This can imply what is going on with this guy.<br /><br />After the coup; there are still many trials to interfere the present Govermnment.<br /><br />Singapore is one of Taksin's best friend through Temasek. This can understand easily as Temasek in now holding major stock in Chin Corp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-42677184524324883062007-01-18T14:28:00.000+08:002007-01-18T14:28:00.000+08:00In the first place, why blame others when the PAP ...In the first place, why blame others when the PAP govt has put itself in a spot. Do they still have the right to rule and uphold good and sound government?<br /><br />It is quite well known that the authorities barred certain NGOs recognized by the IMF from entering Singapore so why make the exception for a persona non grata of his very own country like taxing and offend Thais who have so far been more than a cordial neighbour. <br /><br />In the Cantonese phrase it's 'dog biting its own bones'<br /><br />Who knows, hexes may come sooner to the self appointed first family faster than expected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-18459485041785788112007-01-18T10:34:00.000+08:002007-01-18T10:34:00.000+08:00S'pore has allowed dictators from Myanmar to get m...S'pore has allowed dictators from Myanmar to get medical treatment in the country. So Thaksin's visit as a private person shouldn't have any restrictions as suggested. Why should there be? <br /><br />His interview by CNN is within the rights of both parties. No S'pore politics was mentioned. What's so unkind about the whole matter. <br /><br />The current impasse between Thailand and S'pore is wholly cause by the purchase Shin Corp by Temasek. Temasek as the whole wide world knows is a Government led organisation but which PAP leaders continually insults the intelligence of others by claiming otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-60422097058933676022007-01-18T08:55:00.000+08:002007-01-18T08:55:00.000+08:00the thai government is a military dictatorship; yo...the thai government is a military dictatorship; you dont expect it to act in a democratic, liberal manner<br /><br />on the other hand, SG could have put more restrictions on taksin's visit to make it more "private"; however, SG seems to have decided taksin is a more promising friend than sonthi; it is a gambleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-11602070198365763992007-01-18T02:30:00.000+08:002007-01-18T02:30:00.000+08:00Listen up people of Thailand and Singapore — these...Listen up people of Thailand and Singapore — these are the people who live off our taxes, and they are fighting like snotty-kids in a sand pit, on our nickel.<br /><br />...and we're suppose to trust them?Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.com
