Commentary: Thaksin’s return to ASEAN issues may seem questionable – but it’s really a no-brainer for Anwar

WHAT CAN THAKSIN BRING TO THE TABLE?

Although some claimed that Anwar’s selection was unheard of in ASEAN background, casual advisers are frequently assembled on a global scale. &nbsp,

You get retired people with extensive knowledge and experience to offer insights and suggestions informally. Without having to commit to taking behavior, you have access to tips and varying viewpoints. &nbsp,

This kind of system is usually referred to as a” council of elders” in various locations and settings. Most people in these groups usually have personal sites that go beyond the bureaucratic and administrative restrictions of established ones. This is an especially good aspect, one that many people may not completely understand. &nbsp,

When it comes to the Myanmar problem, Thaksin is especially important. &nbsp,

He is well-known to all of the Myanmar junta’s prominent images and has a strong connection to them. He is positioned to make things happen because Thailand and Myanmar reveal a long borders. &nbsp,

Also, most people overlook Thaksin’s strong links to Cambodia, which is commonly accepted in ASEAN lines as being too close to China. Thaksin is known to have high-level connections in Singapore and Brunei in addition to a rumoredly close relationship with previous Cambodian head Hun Sen.

Thaksin may also encourage Thailand’s” Six Countries, One Destination” strategy, modelled after Europe’s Schengen card, which may allow tourists to visit Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Brunei with a single card. &nbsp,

Border problems such as human and drug trafficking, as well as road, rail and customs links to increase growth and industrial exercise, are also great on Malaysia’s plan. In the next three decades, Malaysia is eager to begin building a new bridge connecting the Narathiwat district’s Sungai Kolok area with Rantau Panjang, Kelantan. &nbsp,

In all of these situations, Thaksin is well-positioned to offer some much-needed social stimulation.
