My colleague was expected to fly out today to India via Bangkok. We learnt yesterday the Bangkok airport was shutdown due to a big anti government protest which has crippled the airport operations. My colleague has to rebook his flight to fly directly from Malaysia to India instead. This anti government has been going on for almost 2 years now after Thaksin was removed from the Prime Minister seat. However, his brother in law Somchai replaced him currently. I have asked the local in Thailand how will this issue be resolved. Everyone seems to shake their head and has no idea how to end it. I believe in people's voice, but I don't believe in all this unnecessary action which affects the rice bowl of the people. At the end of the day, what are we going to eat?
Then last night, there were several coordinated attack hit the city of Mumbai. 5 stars and foreigners was targetted and held as hostages. Last count 100 people was killed and 700 were injured. The group who claimed this action was very angry on how their community was mishandled by the government. Hence, they launched this attack to show their anger.
What's going on Asia? It seems there were so many unhappy people everywhere. But again, can we please everyone? No matter what we do, they will tends to be sacrificial, we all have to admit that. So are these actions were justified, simply we do not get what we want?
Today I just feel people in these places are very very edgy. There are becoming out of control. And I am not sure any of these can be resolved soon. I guess people will only learn when they come to their senses. But right now it does not make sense!
