So I'm guessing these Thais referred to in the article would be mainly "Domestic Helpers"
I wonder what was promised and how most feel now about their choices now.
I have always disapproved of this type of exploitation of disadvantaged. Not singling out this particular situation.
On another note I can't say I surprised but still angered by the lack of outside support or assistance to the Palestinians. I know here in Australia the Government is urgently arranging repatriation flights from Telaviv for Australians but seems no assistance for anyone connected to Palestine. While i don't for a moment defend Hamas I believe a majority of Palestinians don't support their actions either.
Interestingly there are more Christian than Muslim Palestinians in Australia.
MPIH, I'm not slagging the problems and tragedies occurring in the Middle East.
I'm dissing the article and it's language - the Nation often does a poor job of English and this combined with a Thai politician's tendency, to put a shine on any piece of shit, means we get articles, that are - as I say - too dumb to let pass unmolested.
So for clarity, I'm being rude about the writing, and the Politician's craft, not the facts.
