People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) which played a role in gutter politics now set up for its own party-New Politics Party to enter parliamentary politics. The registration was submitted to the Election Commission(EC) by the interim leader, Somsak Kosaisuk, and acting party secretary-general Suriyasai Katasila together with 27 supporters. If you look at the logo of New Politics Party above, four hands represent the people from every part of Thailand-northern, southern, eastern and western, and four hearts in the center symbolize characteristics of consummate politicians-integrity, devotion, competence, and courage. Is the new party an alternative choice for voters who want to see the change in Thai politics ? The main party policies should mainly focus on distributing resources to all strata of peoples evenly, pressure on the government to enforce anti-corruption laws and regulations, and promote and provide the qualitative education for all citizen. According to party policies, the party should form expert committees that correspond to ministries in the bureaucracy. Then, listen to complaints from people from people from all classes, religions and all political, cultural and social affiliations, particularly underprivileged people and small landless farmers. Next, gather complaints and suggestions, and then discuss to find the comprehensive solution to satisfy all concerns before deciding what the policies should be. I think it is better PAD should continue citizen political movement in order to check the government's authority, promote the public participation in governing the country, and more importantly superintend the party. Both of them should work in parallel to detect, eliminate corruption, and implement political responsibility.
พรรคนามการเมืองใหม่ ต้องร่วมใจทั้งชายหญิง
สร้างฝันให้เป็นจริง ไม่พึ่งพิงกลุ่มนายทุน
สรรหาคนเห็นพ้อง เห็นสอดคล้องคอยเกื้อหนุน
สละและเจือจุน อีกเป็นคนมือสะอาด
ต่อไปคือสัตย์ซื่อ ต้องยึดถือประโยชน์ชาติ
เฉลียวและฉลาด พร้อมสามารถแก้วิกฤต
สุดท้ายต้องหาญกล้า พร้อมจะท้าในสิ่งผิด
นำไทยให้ถูกทิศ ไม่ยึดติดในอำนาจ
Last week, an eight-year-old female panda Lin Hui on loan from China gave birth to a 200-gram (7-ounce) panda cub in Chiang Mai zoo after being artificially inseminated with Chauang Chaunag's sperm(her partner) for a second time. It was a surprising event because she had no sign of being pregnant. The Chinese panda expert examined the baby and confirmed it was female. It also was the first baby panda born in this year. According to agreement with China, Thailand must return the baby to China after raising it for the first two years. Currently, Thai officials negotiate with China's govermnent to allow a new-born panda and its parents to stay longer in Thailand. I hope it will be successful.
