Thai protesters occupy finance ministry - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 02:52 PM PST

BANGKOK: Thai anti-government demonstrators yesterday stormed the finance ministry and threatened to seize more government buildings in a dramatic escalation of their efforts to topple embattled Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

The mass protests against Yingluck and her brother, ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra, are the biggest since 2010 when the kingdom was rocked by its worst political bloodshed in decades with more than 90 civilians killed.

The turmoil has raised fears of a fresh bout of street violence in a country that has been convulsed by several episodes of political unrest since royalist generals overthrew Thaksin in a coup in 2006.

Police said around 30,000 protesters opposed to Yingluck's elected government marched on more than a dozen state agencies across the capital yesterday including military and police bases, as well as several television stations.

Hundreds of demonstrators, spurred on by protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, occupied buildings in the compound of the finance ministry, waving flags and dancing, according to AFP correspondents at the scene.

"Tomorrow we will seize all ministries to show to the Thaksin system that they have no legitimacy to run the country," Suthep said, addressing the crowd through a loud speaker.

Chanting "Thaksin get out, army come in", some of the demonstrators had earlier called for the intervention of the military in a country that has seen 18 actual or attempted coups since it became a constitutional monarchy in 1932.

The move comes after a boisterous rally on Sunday brought up to 180,000 anti-government demonstrators on to the streets of Bangkok, according to a revised estimate Monday from National Security Council chief Paradorn Pattanatabut.

Around 50,000 pro-government 'Red Shirts' met overnight in a suburban football stadium in Bangkok in support of Yingluck and Thaksin, who remains a hugely divisive figure in Thailand.

The rallies are the biggest challenge yet for Yingluck, who swept to power in elections in 2011 on a wave of support from the 'Red Shirts', whose protests in 2010 were crushed by the previous government.

Yingluck yesterday told reporters she would neither resign nor dissolve parliament despite the mounting pressure.

But experts said she is running out of room to manoeuvre.

"Yingluck's options are very limited. Something has to give this week. It will be very difficult for Yingluck to stay in office, let alone get anything done," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University.

The Thai capital has faced weeks of opposition-backed rallies sparked by an amnesty bill that could have allowed the return of Thaksin from self-imposed exile.

The amnesty bill — which was rejected by the upper house of parliament — also angered Thaksin's supporters because it would have pardoned those responsible for the 2010 military crackdown on their rallies.

Former premier Abhisit Vejjajiva — now the opposition leader — and his deputy Suthep face murder charges for overseeing the military operation, which involved soldiers firing live rounds and backed by armoured vehicles.

In another blow to the government, the Constitutional Court last week blocked the ruling party's plans for a fully elected Senate.

The opposition Democrat Party is seeking to raise the pressure on Yingluck with a no-confidence debate today — although her party dominates the lower house and should comfortably defeat a move against her.

Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon-turned-politician, draws strong support from many of the country's rural and urban working class, but is loathed by the elite and the middle classes, who accuse him of being corrupt and a threat to the monarchy.

"Yingluck, Thaksin, their party and their corrupt system must go this week," demonstrator Thanabhum Prompraphan, 50, told AFP. — AFP

Bombers in Beirut Iran embassy attack identified – BorneoPost <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 03:03 PM PST

BEIRUT: Lebanese authorities say they have identified the two men who launched a double suicide attack on the Iranian embassy this week which killed 25 people in Hezbollah's southern Beirut bastion.

Relatives of one of the men said he was a supporter of al-Qaeda and Sheikh Ahmed Assir, a radical Sunni preacher in southern Lebanon who has been on the run since his supporters clashed with Lebanese troops in the summer, killing 17 soldiers.

The embassy attack was claimed by an al-Qaeda-affiliated group that said it was targeting the Iran-backed   Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, which is fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad's troops against Sunni-led rebels  in  neighbouring  Syria.

Both suicide bombers were identified by DNA testing, the army and a judge said, one of them after his father came forward when photos of the suspects were published.

The test on Adnan Abu Dahr showed that human remains at the scene belonged to his son, Mouin Abu Dahr, who was identified as one of two attackers, the judge was quoted by the National News Agency as saying.

The army confirmed that the younger Abu Dahr, from the southern Sunni-majority town of Sidon, was one of the suicide attackers.

A Facebook page apparently belonging to Mouin Abu Dahr, which had been taken down by Saturday, expressed support for al-Qaeda and for Assir, whom he vowed to "avenge" after the clashes with the army.

Assir, also from Sidon, had frequently expressed support for the Syrian uprising and encouraged Lebanese Sunnis to join it.

The army also confirmed that DNA testing showed the second bomber was Adnan Mussa al-Mohammad, a Palestinian who also  lived in  southern Lebanon and reportedly supported  Assir.

The double bombing was the first attack in Lebanon against interests of predominantly Shiite Iran, a key ally of the Syrian regime as it battles a 32-month uprising.

An estimated 120,000 people have been killed in Syria since the revolt began as a series of peaceful protests in March 2011.

A brutal government crackdown on the demonstrations eventually set off a full-blown civil war that has displaced millions of people, including some 800,000 who have taken   refuge    in   Lebanon.

Tehran is also the key sponsor of Hezbollah, which has dispatched fighters to Syria to aid the regime.

Lebanon's ever-feuding factions have been bitterly divided over the Syrian civil war, and a string of bombings and other attacks have raised fears the conflict could spill over the border.

In Sidon on Saturday, two tanks were stationed near the Abu Dahr home, where neighbours expressed shock that Mouin had carried out the attack.

"He was a polite man who always encouraged me to pray. I did not expect him to commit such an act," Ahmed al-Yaman, who lives across the street, told AFP.

A close friend who asked not to be identified said Mouin became far more religious after a recent trip to Sweden,  where he fell under the  influence of  a  radical imam.

"After he returned from Sweden, he started talking about martyrdom and saying his family was not religious enough," the friend said. — AFP

Grieving father rebuilds in typhoon-smashed Philippines <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 03:11 PM PST

DULAG, Philippines: Every nail Florentino Homeris hammers down takes him one step closer to rebuilding his typhoon-wrecked house, and one step further from life with the daughter he lost.

The 32-year-old labourer has no choice but to try to create a new dwelling for his wife and baby after his wooden shack was destroyed when Super Typhoon Haiyan smashed through the Philippines, killing more than 5,200 people.

He scrabbles around in the mud to find whatever building materials he can – pieces of sodden lumber, tin sheets warped and twisted by the powerful winds and crooked nails pulled from splintered planks.

All were probably part of someone else's home before the storm.

On a tiny patch of sand in the ruined coastal town of Dulag where his one-room shack once stood, Homeris had just finished the frame of what he hoped would be a replica of the one he built for his new family five years ago.

"But I cannot remember the exact way the house looked," he said.

"There is a small kitchen, and a door here," he said pointing to a vacant space.

He is also short on useable materials.

"I will have to look for tin roofing from somewhere later today."

The loss of his five-year-old girl in the storm is yet to completely sink in.

The absence of any proper Catholic burial for this devoutly religious man does not help.

"I see her in my dreams," he said, choking back tears.

"But she is there, in a body bag. I have given my permission for her to be in the mass grave."

"I have another child and a wife that need to live too, but it is very difficult," he added as he tried unsuccessfully to straighten a rusty nail.

On the night before Haiyan tore into the Philippines on Nov 8, Homeris took his wife, five-year-old daughter and baby boy to a school.

He thought they would be safe there from the vicious winds, but he did not count on giant waves washing ashore and into the concrete building, taking his daughter. — AFP

What&#39;s up with Bobby Gonzales? - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 08:02 AM PST

by Matthew T. Umpang, reporters@theborneopost.com. Posted on November 6, 2013, Wednesday

KUCHING: The future of Sarawak's top scorer for the season Bobby Gonzales remains unclear.

The striker last talked to The Borneo Post on Monday when he revealed he had yet to receive any offer of a contract renewal from the Football Association of Sarawak (FAS).

"My heart is with Sarawak and I am keen to stay here at the Stadium Negeri. Personally I think it would be nice to remain here," he said.

There is no lack of rumours in the media.

PDRM have been reported to be interested in his services but Bobby denied he had been approached by any team.

There is also speculation that Sarawak is considering an Australian import striker.

Bobby scored 21 goals in 22 appearances for Sarawak this season. He remains a firm favourite among local fans with his knack for scoring important goals for the Crocs.

He knocked in the solitary goal in Sarawak's vital 1-0 home win against Sime Darby in the Premier League.

With the win, Sarawak reached the top spot in the league table and never surrendered the lead for the rest of the season.

Bobby is currently on his second stint with Sarawak.

He first played for the Crocs in 2011, on loan from his hometown side Sabah, when he made 21 appearances for Sarawak and scored 16 goals.

He returned to Sabah in the following year but made another move to Stadium Negeri in 2013.

Apart from the Sabah and Sarawak, he had also played for KL Plus FC and Brunei DPMM FC in the past.

Review allocation for Sabah, <b>Sarawak</b> – DAP – BorneoPost Online <b>...</b>

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 10:59 AM PDT

KOTA KINABALU: DAP Sabah chairman Jimmy Wong wants the Federal Government to review its allocation for Sabah and Sarawak as tabled by Prime Minister cum Finance Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in the national 2014 budget.

According to him, the RM476,628 million allocated for infrastructure development in Sabah is not enough.

He also took the government to task for the paltry sum given to Sabah and Sarawak for the construction of the Pan Borneo highway.

"Why must the sum be given in stages? Why can't it be given at one time? You see the government is only allocating RM500 million per year for the road project which costs RM23 billion and scheduled to be completed by 2025.

"With only RM500 million a year, how can the highway be completed by 2025… it would take 40 years to construct the road if that is the allocation we get annually," he said, adding that this does not make sense as Malaysia is supposed to attain a developed nation status by 2020.

This, the Kota Kinabalu member of parliament opined, showed that the federal government is not serious about Sabah's infrastructure development as it has given much more in terms of allocations to infrastructure development in Peninsular Malaysia.

"Sabah and Sarawak must be given priority when it comes to development because without Sabah and Sarawak, there would be no Malaysia … the Barisan Nasional government would not be in power if it was not for the voters in these two states," he said.

Wong also, after scrutinizing the contents of the budget, questioned why the federal government had not included the construction of flyovers in the state capital in the budget for infrastructure.

The allocation is for the Pan Borneo highway which will boost tourism in Sabah but equally important is the flyovers so that the traffic congestion problem in the state capital can be resolved, he stressed.
