In Today newspaper, Mukhriz (Mahathir's son) said that all Chinese and Tamil schools should be converted into one system of school where all subjects are to be taught in Bahasa Malaysia with Math & Sci in English and for the non-Malays to opt for their mother tongues. He is asking for trouble. Look at sri lanka, when they convert all schools with singhales as the main lang of instruction, the minority Tamil started to fight a civil war with them. Another reason is the Mukhriz is trying to show that he is an ultra to attract Malay votes in the coming UNMO Exco election. The UMNO top echelon always play the Malay supremacy sentiment to get voted. Look at Mahathir, Hisamuddin Onn and even Anwar in his earlier years. Mukhriz said that with one system of school, there will be unity. The other races will not buy his ideas. The two factors for unity are : 1) make sure all races are equal with no special rights for any particular race,and 2) use English as the main lang of instruction except their mother tongues. The 2nd point will obviously make Malaysia a more prosperous country. | ||||

Why i said so as it will badly damaged Bangkokrian rich or poor alike as Bangkok seek to built up it reputation as an economy hub, so short and mid term can see Bangkokrian struggle to recover after dust have settle and that will take them many years.

The beginning of a strong Bangkok business nation centre has already seen it effect slip into aby....n it will take another 10 -20 years to recover if lucky, not careful by mis-managing it crisis, Bangkok is now powerless to recover in this few years given global economy prolong recession play has at least two years to recover, will have to play catch along with Saigon, Vietnam Southern gateway to Mekong n to China. KL may also see some short term advatages going their way in toursim trade

Facts...http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2008/11/20081128102748586724.html Group is a loose coalition of royalists, businessmen and urban middle class -Thailand's traditional elite. PAD led protests that triggered 2006 coup against the then PM, Thaksin Shinawatra. Supporters wear yellow shirts, a colour associated with Thailand's revered king. Group accuses Thaksin supporters of pushing to turn Thailand into a republic, an allegation rejected by Thaksin. Critics say PAD's contempt for results of three democratic elections show it is neither popular nor democratic. The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce said if the political turmoil and airport closures go on for another month, it would cost the economy up to $6 billion. The protesters accuse Somchai of being a front for Thaksin Shinawatra, who was removed from office as prime minister in September 2006. The protesters remained defiant on Friday, vowing to "fight to the death" if police tried to disperse them.
