Thailand and Malaysia have agreed to tighten their cooperation in some areas, including solving the insurgency problem in the South, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday after talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Mr Abhisit said he and the Malaysian prime minister discussed a wide range of topics for cooperation. On the insurgency problem, the Malaysian government was satisfied with the Thai government's current line of action.

He said Thailand had also sought advice from Malaysia, which has been successful in using religious schools for occupational training.

He agreed to the Malaysian leader's suggestion that he visit schools for teaching Islam in the three troubled southern provinces this year, to convince them they had the government's support.

On trade and investment, Mr Abhisit said they agreed to cooperate more on energy and Halal food.

>>>You should be jailed for inciting hate and spraying baseless rumors.

Each point I make is a fact which can easily be verified by reading this newspaper or studying the quotes of the investigators, Malay state officials or the terrorists themselves.

FACT: Malaysia released Wan Min Wan Mat who financed the Bali bombings in 2002. He was never charged with a crime.

FACT: Interior Minister Syed Hamid Albar personally intervened to release Yazid Sufaat and other JI members who were involved in September 2001 attacks from the Kamunting detention centre in Perak.

FACT: The Thai government itself has previously directly linked malaysia to support of the southern Jihadists.

FACT: Tamsil Linrung a former member of JI has so much support among muslims in Sulawesi that he was elected to parliament uner PKS party.

FACT: Washington Times newspaper has reported that Guragan Mujaheedin Islam Pattani leader Wae Ka Raeh, operates from Terenganu State.

The list is endless.

This is Thailand we dont put people in jail for speaking the truth in order to silence them.

I do not incite hate, the malay terrorist who oppress non muslim are the ones who incite hate.

Baseless rumors? Each point I make is a fact which can easily be verified by reading the newspapers and the quotes of the investigators and the terrorists themselves. We have Google and can verfity for ourselves not trust your denials.

Why accuse me of spreading hate and not the people making the hate , which I merely point out? Why do you want to put me in jail for but not the people who are committing the terror?

Abhisit is being deceived. Malaysia says out of one side of its mouth, don’t link Islam with terror and then, from the other side of its mouth tells Abhisit the solution to terror is more religion. Malaysia is the Pakistan of S.E Asia and the main fomenting ground for Islamic Terrorism in the region. Its madrassas are the training schools for Jihadis and also staging posts on the route to Iraq and Afghanistan. Jemiah Islamia the Terrorist organization behind the two Bali bombings and the Marriott Hotel and Australian Embassy bombings in Jakarta is LEGAL in Malaysia. The Malaysian government has systematically demolished over 100 Hindu temples and Christian churches in the past four years. Malaysia's States on our border enforce strict Sharia Law and provide safe haven and support for Muslim separatists to enter and leave Thailand. JI is also deeply involved in the Philippine terrorist war and supports the Moro Front and Abu Sayf there. We don’t need “help” from Malaysia. We need a wall to protect us from them.
