Chalerm floats curfew for trouble spots

Limited curfews are being considered in the deep South following the recent murders of farmers in Yaring district of Pattani and four traders in Yala's Krong Pinang district.

The curfews were proposed yesterday by Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung, with the support of the police.

However, they were swiftly rejected by Defence Minister ACM Sukumpol Suwanatat who insisted they were not necessary.

    .

    It's very hard to pinpoint " who's who " because they don't wear uniform, but curfew is one of the best ways to separate the bad guys from the good.

    Let's try in a selected area, better than a quarrel between two grown-ups.

    Do something good to your country.
