In Tatters? What Tatters?

Much publicity has been casted on Thailand’s latest political rally, where the main airport was blockaded. Thailand’s political problem had stretch over 3 years, since Thaksin was ousted back then.

Took a glimpse at The Star’s headline today in a newsstand. It read “Thailand in Tatters”. I suppose many people would think that Thailand is in a big mess now; that people are rioting, bombings, shops are closed, debris all over, fights, killing, arrests, etc.

I beg to differ. If one thing that I learn about Thailand from those series of rallies is that the people there have GUTS.

That they are willing to fight and sacrifice for the betterment of their country.

That they’re brave enough to stand up for what’s right and wrong.

That they have the maturity to take action.

That they’re blockading the airport not merely to create havoc and inconveniences, but as a form of peaceful resistance for the love of their country.

And they’ve won. The Constitution Court of Thailand has sacked and declared the ruling party to be disbanded.

Assuming that there’re no further obstacles, Thailand can only grow from the ashes, move forward and be stronger than ever. The people have won, you can never beat people power.

To the Thais, good luck with much respect.
