What happen to Asean's
non-interference policy?
I was surprised and perplexed to learn that
the Thai foreign minister would meet the
ambassadors of India and Pakistan over
the nuclear issue, although I applaud the
efforts. Isn't this unusual for the Asean's
normal practice of non-interference with
other countries, for example, Burma and
Cambodia? What is this new spin? Is
Thailand planning to enter the big league? If
so, then push human rights with your
neighbours first. Don't use the Asean
mantra one day and do something opposite
the next day, or you may wind up smelling
like the US two-faced policy.
