An abuse of parliament
News, Published on 02/06/2012
» When MPs in Ukraine's parliament in Kiev physically attacked each other so fiercely during a debate last week that some required medical attention, the resulting film footage caused more amusement than consternation when shown on TV newscasts around the world. Some, though, did wonder how a country whose lawmakers behaved in such an undisciplined fashion could successfully organise and co-host the Euro 2012 football tournament. But there was nothing to laugh about when similar scuffles broke out in our own parliament this week, ironically during the debate on national reconciliation. Now it is Thailand that is the focus of embarrassing video clips.

Lady in waiting has a passion, unsurpassed
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 02/06/2012
» All light is on The Lady. The hazy glare of our damp summer, then the incessant flashlights of journalists who've made the Myanmar MP the most photographed woman - our own photogenic PM being out-snapped - of the past week. Aung San Suu Kyi's first trip abroad in 24 years carries the weight of historic gravity, besides the simple fact that the 66-year-old is a walking epitome of how to age gracefully. Also thanks to her presence, the otherwise routine World Economic Forum has acquired a special lustre, a magnetic draw.
