Last night TV news showed Abhisit Vejjajiva the new Thai PM holding the broom to clean the Government House compound which was gate crashed and seized by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) for about four months. The place was left with much rubbish and awful sight caused by the forced occupation by PAD.
Abhisit will need more than a bigger and stronger broom to clean-up the state of affairs now afflicting Thailand. Being the third PM in a short span of four months he will need all the strength and support he can get to oversee the shambled economy and battered image of Thailand in the eyes of international community.
That will be easier said than done.
Even though he is reaching out to core supporters of former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra in his stronghold regions, that will be a very challenging task as Thaksin's is still remote controlling the recently turned opposition groups of former PMs Somchai Wongsawat and Samak Sundaravej.
To ensure he will sustain longer than his predecessors, maybe he need the broom to sweep away the bad luck afflicting the PM position in Thailand. - Loka
