State of emergency in Bangkok amid reports of a coup attempt

» by Lilian in: politics

My 2nd brother works in Bangkok. Hope this blows over soon.

Thai media say that two army factions appear to be heading for a clash, with one side backing the prime minister and the other side backing a rebel army chief.

(source)It happens to Thailand. Can such things happen to us Malaysians one day?

    Malaysians are too chicken shit to even talk about politics openly and worry about ISA. Don’t think this will ever happen.

    Yeah. I just blogged about this too. I was shocked coz I just came back from Bangkok 3 days ago. And Hadyai 2 weeks ago. I consider myself lucky but my fren said I brought jinx to Thailand. :p
    Anyway, I manage to mail my fren in Bangkok he seems calm and optmistic that things will go well soon. My another two friends have not replied me. Lilian, hope your brother will be safe and sound. Your family must be worried !!!

    I think for something lidat to happen the Sosial, Economic and Political fabric must be already so teruk, choy choy choy.

    Like Thailand got bombs and social unrest until so many people die. LIke Malaysia many many tengkiu to Police these people kena tangkap before have time to create nonsense. and how the situation is handled, “ditangani’ or mishandled as the case may be. hehehehe.

    So long as Kampung baru can sell their Bubur lambuk, Petaling Street can continue selling fake goods and people can buy Kain at Jalan TAR this Ramadhan all should be fine.

    As Shadowfox says above. For me, Malaysian sometimes mouth can be nasty. But atcherly we dare not or donwan to shake our current structure because we are comfortable. Saman polis oso got diskaun maa! Just wait until the correct timing.

    People in business continue to do their thing. To those making noise I say tengkiu.

    The Highway from Johore to Penang bengkok (bended) like snake also still reach maa!!
