An unending series of protests continues in Thailand – the latest being one by environmental activists protesting at an industrial complex for the government to extend from 11 to 18 its list of harmful industries on Thursday, 30th September, 2010.
The police controlling the protestors were nearly half in number. There were 2,000 members of the Eastern People’s Network gathered in front of the Rayong administration center of the country’s largest industrial estate, Map Ta Phut to begin their rally, the Bangkok Post reported. The small number of policemen available made it imperative for elites to have higher security for their protection. Such scenarios require bodyguards for their safety.
The protestors said they would stay inside the complex until their demand for extending the list of harmful projects is met.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said the government will try their best to deal with the demands, but it may not be able to get everyone to agree on the matter.
“We have to admit that there are those who disagree with industrial development, and they have the right to express their opinions,” Abhisit said, “but that has to be done in accordance with the rule of law.”
Abhisit said the National Resources and Environment Ministry’s list of 11 harmful industries is sufficiently strict in this matter.
“The solution to the Map Ta Phut problem is to build buffer zone and to conclude the capacity of the area to support industrial expansion, and not the list of harmful projects,” Abhisit said.
For this reason, a new series of protest may rise in the country already facing protests by the Red Shirts against the government.

After allegedly Muslim insurgents killed two teachers in southern Thailand on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, Three Border Provinces Teachers Federation resolved that all 465 schools in risky areas of the three southernmost provinces – Yala, Pattani, Nrathiwat – would be closed for three days after by the afternoon.
“The three-day closure of all schools in red zone and risk areas in the three southernmost provinces is to find ways to restore teachers’ morale and coordinate with security units on more stringent security measures for teachers,” Bangkok Post quoted Boonsom Thongsriprai, chairman of the federation.
According to the police, two gunmen on a motorcycle shot the two teachers who were on their way to a market in Narathiwat province.
