Thai PM 'overthrown in army coup'

[CVT]

Thailand has this advantage over the Philippines, in terms of a political changeover,- they have a King who most people respect and look-up.

Hindi lang ginagamit ng Hari nila ang kanyang powers, pero he is a very powerful (political) person in their country. Kaya tahimik lang ang bansa nila kung may coup kung tahimik lang ang Hari.

andami pa naman thai-CBU ngayon. hehehe...sana lumipat na lang planta dito kung ganun. :lol:

[GasJunkie]

I want my pandan chicken and pad thai.....

[Isuzoom]

Again, our economic teams must take advantage of the Thailand political situation to tell the investors that the Philippines are more politicaly stable.....I hope.

[GasJunkie]

Our economy must be the laughing stock of the world, in order to compete some catastrophe must happen to our neighbouring country.

this would hit the spot right about now :drool:

where's that damn thai takeout menu!? that stupid refrigerator magnet probably let it go and it's now under the refrigerator, never to be seen again!! :waah:

[Alpha_One]

Ahh... trial by publicity again... it seems that we Asians have something in common.

A "liar / corrupt leader" should be proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

Uso nga satin yang "patalsikin si {x | where x is the highest position held in government } anoh?! Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan...

[nicolodeon]

military takeover of a democratic government is never a good thing.

basically, the guys with the guns are declaring to the nation and the world that they consider themselves above due process of law. that's scary.

Ditto. My sentiments exactly.

Bantayan ang mga oportunistang politiko dyan sa tabi-tabi.

[arvic]

What could this possibly mean for us tsikot lovers?
a) Tataas presyo ng mga Thai-built CBU vehicles.
b) Delayed shipment of the vehicles and parts.
c) Deterioration of workmanship.
d) All of the above.
e) None of the above.

OT: F) Transfer the manufacturing plant to the Philippines. " Like Ford"

I'm sorry I beg to disagree!

[GasJunkie]

Pride sure is a wonderful thing.

Edit We are doing nothing to compete and based on all the comment/thinking wishing ill will to our neighbour just so we could get ahead is bad business.

[Galactus]

Basta ako, ayoko sa Presidenteng Peke at Pandak.

Business is business, If the situation get worst, multinational company will just look another place to put up and continue their operations. Like what they did in our country.(Thus Thailand also practice bad business?).

[GasJunkie]

I wouldn't trust multinational companies with my life.

Pathetic if we do so. Thai economy precedes us by a huge margin even it's under duress. Even if the Thais face the same number of corruption we have in all levels of govt, they don't have our sophisticated kind of Cleptocracy.

Democracy is as much a result of factors that create good government as it is a cause of good government.
We pinoys have come to realization that popular overthrows of governments does not lead to less corrupt successors. Meet the new boss- same as the old boss. We have currently exhausted our People power capacity. Our people now don't see it as a viable way to improve governance which explains the numerous failed coup attempts by a few soldiers and politicos. I hope the rest of Asia or the world for that matter would see it as an example. We started it, and hopefully we end it.

Bantayan ang mga oportunistang politiko dyan sa tabi-tabi.

The problem is we and the Thais don't have someone like Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore who remains to be as the most influential anti-corruption politician in Asia. Although what we have here are far more flashier than any Singaporean or Thailander candidates could ever be, rest assured that we will always upstage them in terms of "pogi" points.
Meet your new, up and coming President Pacquao "all the" Money and his ever humble Vice Pres Efren "Magic" Reyes if ever we attempt a Thai coup.


I could almost hear the jingle (...para sayo, ang laban na'to) OT NAH!

Pathetic if we wish ill of our neighbour or pathetic if we don't?
