Flashermac Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Business organisations push for reforms Seven business organisations proposed a comprehensive reform before Thailand would host a new election, to prevent another crisis. In a statement, it said without resolutions to disputes, an endless cycle of crisis would emerge. "It’s highly essential that democratic reforms in political, social and economic areas as well as anti-corruption measures must be done before the election," it said. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Business-organisations-push-for-reforms-30221706.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi, "Suthep said he would wait for a while for all protesters to gather before he would deliver a speech." Probably trying to catch his breath first Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 He said last night that he was 64 years old, going on 65. If he could make the walk, so could others! Must have hiked nearly 30 km. The Bangkok Post estimates the numbers at 400,000. BP pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi, I do wonder how many went just because they thought it would be 'sanuk' to go rather than for any political reason. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Coincidence that the red shirts cancelled their rally tomorrow after seeing the turnout? Wouldn't look good if they couldn't match the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Protesters congratulated for "reclaiming country with bare hands" Rally leader Suthep Thaugsuban spent seven hours on Monday leading a march from the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road to the Government House on Phitsanulok Road. Speaking on a newly set up stage in front of the Government House, Suthep said that today was an historic day for Thailand, the day all Bangkok roads were crowded with anti-government protesters. "We should be proud of ourselves that this is the first time the people, owners of the country, reclaimed the country from a corrupt government with our bare hands. We do it today, my fellow Thais," Suthep told the cheering crowds. He also said that tonight would be the first time that the protesters would stay overnight in the middle of the streets. He joked that he did not feel any pain in his legs after the long walk. "But my arms ache instead because I was waving to our supporters all along the route," he said. He added that because he is the most senior member of People’s Democratic Reform Committee, the other members had ensured he had the longest march. http://www.nationmul...i-30221711.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
