Most shops were closed and few vendors were selling in fresh markets in Yala and Narathiwat on Friday morning after reports circulated that separatist militants planned widespread unrest in the deep South on Friday, the Muslim sabbath.

Reports said at least 70% of the shops remained closed and fresh markets were unusually quiet.

Yala governor Decharat Simsiri and military officials inspected security arrangements at a fresh market on Friday morning.

Meanwhile Sukhumpol is does anything but his real job which is to provide security to all Thai people.

If he was to be graded on his performance , 1 to 10 with 10 being excellent he would get a minus 5 for providing improved security since taking office.
