I don't see any benefit in this.  It isn't logical.

"Opening additional halal market channels..." from Thailand to the northern states of Malaysia?  Someone hasn't been to any of the border crossings to see the never-ending line of trucks moving goods from one country to the other, it seems.

None of the northern Malaysian states is especially prosperous, as they all have strongly Islamic fundamentalist governments in place.

      News Forum - Thai student injured in playground scuffle, parents seek justice

      “I want the other parents to take responsibility. This incident was caused by their child, yet they only offered 5,000 baht as compensation.

      News Forum - Phuket gears up for international tourism event

      "Phuket is readying itself for a monumental moment in global tourism. The Joint Public and Private Sector Committee for Economic Development of Phuket Province met yesterday, September 12, to fine-tune plans for the upcoming International Tourism Island City Conference (ITICC)" I presume they are going to discuss how their tourism greed has destroyed Phuket?

      What did you listen to today?

      Kashmir is one of my all time favorites (it's also Robert Plant's favorite Led Zep song). Another all time favorite of mine is their 'In my time of dying' with that fantastic interplay between Page's guitar and Bonham's drums.
