Banharn on sticky path as latest 'kao jai'

It is a tradition for many people to make a wish for the New Year to come, or express good wishes to their loved ones, friends and even foes at this time. Chart Thai Pattana Party advisory chairman Banharn Silpa-archa made a wish too on this fun-filled and happy occasion, and made a commitment as well.

The seasoned politician told well-wishers who attended him at his home in Suphan Buri on Dec 30 that since his five-year political banishment would end on Wednesday (Jan 2) he would dedicate himself to trying to bring about national reconciliation.

He said he would serve as a “kao jai” (glue of the heart) and foster better, mutual understanding between all the conflicting political parties and colour-coded political groupings.

Why is it always about political rules that only serve a handful and nothing ever about the people? Thai people do not need reconciliation. That people are not fighting with each other. 66 million Thai's and less than 50,000 red/yellow shirts and politicians are the only ones in need of reconciliation. The country does not need to be reconciled. The greedy politicians that are fighting over self-enrichment, corruption and destroying the country, need to be removed and replaced with those that with lead Thailand for the people. It is hard to believe 65 million Thais let 30,000 people ruin this country. Ants can beat grasshoppers! Believe it!
