    thailand should engage on a more proactive approach with malaysia on how to solve the separatists problem.it has almost come to an unacceptable level that some quarters have define it as 'terrorism'.I hope thailand realises that if nothing is done soon,the armed insurgents are going to spread to other provinces as well.

    Malaysia must address the problem of many unaccountable holders of dual citizenship especially those armed insurgents.
    In addition, Malaysia should initialize constructive engagement together with Thailand to find a peaceful settlement of
    all current violence which caused severe damages to the economy of both countries. Let's hope to see some light at the
    end of the tunnel soon.
