BANGKOK (AFP) - - Thai premier Abhisit Vejjajiva has defended his decision to appoint as adviser to the government a member of a protest group that was behind a siege of Bangkok's airports last year. More »

For too long trouble has been brewing.....un-resolve what has happened in Thailand will set back all Thais by 10 years and this is only Thais style boxing 2nd round

Un-resolve world wide income gap is widering, couple with world prolong recession and Thais style politic. Income gap is widering..Rich is super rich and poor is super poor,

Pls Note: A lesson here in singapore that we should know...of this widering income gap, so far our govment knew this and try to avert by work bonus, retraining, trying to fill those gap.

However they are always afew big chief sitting on DIR board earning million of dollar and sleeping on their job, sitting on multi billion Sing dollars of losses for only one reason..that for long term investment. (Very poor mis-judgement and very poor vision and very poor follower of L)

It is sad to see Thailand in such state and sick to see our SWF behave like nothing has happen

"Our demand is for Abhisit to dissolve parliament because he has no legitimacy," said Jatuporn Prompan, a core leader of the pro-Thaksin movement, who are known as the "red shirts" because of their trademark clothes. Rally will start at 0800 GMT in central Sanam Luang park, Jatuporn told AFP. Protest leaders said they would announce the timing of the move to parliament on stage during the demonstration, he said.

The planned rally is set to bring Thai politics full circle after a year of turmoil, with the pro-Thaksin camp using tactics that the billionaire tycoon's foes originally employed to bring down his allies.

Protests outside parliament on October 7 by the royalist, anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), aimed at stopping then-prime minister Somchai Wongsawat delivering his policy speech, left two dead and 500 wounded.

Abhisit said on Friday he had ordered police that there should be no repeat of the bloodshed.
“Police will not use violence against the protesters," national police chief General Patcharawat Wongsuwan told reporters Saturday. Patcharawat said around 3,600 unarmed police would be on duty on Sunday, with just over half around parliament and the rest at the initial rally site or conducting weapons searches.

"If we cannot resist the protesters we will consult with parliament whether they want to postpone or not," Patcharawat said. "If necessary, police will request the assistance of the military."

Pls Note, Actually the fight is very private limited to between Ex-Thais PM. Thaksin and Mr Lim..the media mogul

BANGKOK, Thailand - More than 3,000 Thai police moved into position Sunday to prevent a replay of mass demonstrations that virtually paralyzed the government for months and climaxed with the eight-day seizure of the capital's airports, local media said.

This time, it was supporters of exiled ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra _ instead of his opponents _ who planned to take to the streets. Followers were planning to marshal enough demonstrators to block the new government from delivering its policy statement at Parliament early next week. The protest was scheduled to begin Sunday.

Police units were being dispatched to cordon off the Parliament building and a nearby field where the pro-Thaksin Democratic Alliance against Dictatorship was to gather, the Web site of The Nation newspaper said.
