the courts or the ballot box decide. The King should not lend any
support to coup leaders who captured power illegally.
It appears you do not know much about the situation in Thailand
when Taksin was the prime minister. I spent 4 years working there
during the Thai Rak Thai regime. All I can say is what Thaksin did
was trying to make his party, a Thai version of PAP. Well, I guess
we all know what it's like to be in a country where there's only 1
super power controlling our way of life.
Too bad, the Thais (mostly educated ones) are not as obedient as
us, Singaporeans.
