Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion.’ Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.

An irresponsible rumour about a situation in the country . . .  What rumour? I don't know what it's about.

Gen Teng Seng thanked Thailand for supporing [Myanmar] on democracy. 

Yesterday I spoke about 5 hours in total, at different events. When I got home, "Oh! Why do I feel so dizzy?" Yeah, I spoke on too many topics. 

What more do you want from me? I’m already tired from the meeting and didn’t sleep. Instead of asking me if I’m tired or how I am, there are only questions like when will there be an election, when will the constitution be completed? We haven’t even drafted a single article of it. Why do people have to keep asking? I’m tired.

I insist that our democracy is more advanced than every country in the ASEAN. We're on the front row. We only had an accident. After we pass this accident, on which we stumbled, we'll go farther than other countries, I believe.  

“There’s a saying that if you want to reform Thai politics, you will never be successful if you don’t reform the army first. That means every country aiming to be a successful democracy needs to reform the army first.”
