» It came as no surprise that core members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) and some former Pheu Thai MPs have broken their self-imposed silence to deny the existence of the "Men in Black" and question the arrest of the five suspects paraded before the media.

News, Editorial, Published on 05/04/2016
» A recent series of arrests and seizures by anti-drug forces is a rare ray of optimism in the fight for a rational drug-control policy. But they also revived serious questions and brought more confusion to the problem. It is clear that some countries in the region are keen to take more responsibility while suffering more losses than others. And it seems while authorities have a somewhat tenuous handle on who is controlling drug trafficking, efforts to deal with the kingpins are ineffective at best.

Stand guard against the IS
News, Published on 08/04/2015
» It is not news that the impressive propaganda arm of the so-called Islamic State (IS) is operating in our region. During the past several months, authorities in the Philippines, Malaysia and especially Indonesia, have had to step up efforts against the violent, Mideast-based group. Credible reports say hundreds of men, and even a few women, from those countries have travelled to join the IS. The government would be well advised to monitor the situation and remain alert.
