So our neighbor Thailand has entered a new era of their politics. Can a pretty, young and energetic lady premier drive the nation into a renewed faith in nation-building?

Nobody can predict the outcome.

However, one thing is sure; Lady Yingluck has demonstrated her charisma to focus her peoples’ imagination in bringing a difference. She did it naturally. She may have advisors to guard her in media campaigns and image management, but she makes people to trust her simple appeal for creating a fresh start for Thailand.

While we are indulging in the possible destiny that may turn Thailand into an adorable nation again, our fellow Malaysians are bothered by the confusion cause by our policy makers and enforcers of law.

With a image-building budget that close to 9-digit, they are supposed to be nice, lovely, looking young and stylish, intelligent, open-minded, westernized yet religious, up-to-date with all the IT fashions like FB, Twitter and pop culture of Lady Gaga.

They thought all these elements can eventually be boiled into a magical spell that commands peoples’ imagination towards their vision for “transformation”.

But sad enough their people are “color-phobia”, and ran mad with the color of yellow. So much so they dropped all their benevolent masks.

The number of mice is more than the population of human beings in Kuala Lumpur. And, these policy makers　/　implementer have happily reported to the press that some of these mice and even bigger in size than the Persian cats of the First Family.

Yet, they tolerate that ugly scene without a slightest sense of fear.

On other hand, an uncomplicated color of yellow sent them to bed with horror in many sleepless nights.

The participants of July 9^th rally never realized that they have so many “comrades” throughout the nation overnight. These sympathizers are in fact contributed by the policy makers and enforcers, who have unnecessarily harassed the innocent public in yellow shirts.

These officers are actually imaginative, but in a wrong way.

Come back to Yin li’s Victory last Sunday, it is obviously a work of imagination, the combination of positive imagination of her camp as well as the negative one from her opponents.

Power corrupts and collapses out of internal fear; our of dare forces of self-conceived fallacy.

Smart leaders, who have created great cities in the world, did so with their wise leadership and political will to help people turn their imagination into constructive achievements. Be it in the form of arts, words, behaviors, free expressions and self-regulated social actions.

Leaders, who are genuinely not that smart, no matter how heavy is their investment in attention-gathering, cosmetic-engineering and self-admiring, out of their disapproving karma, dig their own graveyard for their opponents.

Comment by corps sans organes on February 14, 2023 at 10:30am: A bit of updating for the new development of Thaksin / Yingluck's family

BANGKOK - Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra insists his return to Thailand will come without help from Pheu Thai or the ruling Palang Pracharath Party and will be announced by his daughter Paetongtarn.

Thaksin made the latest declaration on returning to his homeland during a discussion on the Clubhouse social media app on Tuesday night.

It came amid rumours that Palang Pracharat and Pheu Thai have done a deal for Thaksin to return after the general election, scheduled for May.

The former PM was answering questions from supporters in a live session held by the CARE Kid Kluan Thai (Think and Move Thailand) Facebook page.

Asked when he would return to Thailand, Thaksin revealed that he suffered an illness last year that disrupted his plans to come back.

“I intended to do so and I sped up oxygen treatment before the year-end. But the situation remained dangerous and my children had concerns over my safety,” he said. The ex-PM did not reveal why he needed oxygen therapy, though he reportedly caught Covid-19 last year. (Source: https://www.straitstimes.com)

Comment by MalaysianCinema on August 3, 2011 at 1:13pm: We need to commence and convene a productive and local-specific conversation with all our stake holders. Voices must be heard and that is more than a monologue or one-way carpet-bombing of sales talks.

We need a central organizing place for all our stake-holders to meet, share ideas, and build a communal trust. It is not a matter of “create content and they will come”; it is “create content that gets socially connected and they will come”.

We need to put together an exhibition supervised by a curator or director of insight, someone who can give pattern and meaning to the fast changing incidence happened in our market place.

Comment by corps sans organes on July 17, 2011 at 11:34pm: Curator? I buy the idea. All of us are drown in the information tsunami. We used to describe the great difficulty of finding something as " looking for needle in a hay". I find that this description do not reflect our reality in the internet world today. The reason is simple, the size of hay is growing tremendously everyday, while the size of that pity needle is becoming tinier and tinier. There are too many good things that GOOGLE simply can't find. The reason, information grows in size and speed that no search engine can cope with now a day.

Good content is struggling with rubbish for web audience's attention. Curators' job is to organize good content for people's appreciation. We have been fed up with wasting time to look for good creators and their great works. GOOGLE doesn't help us much. We need outstanding curator to help locate, manage, organize and present good creators and their works.

Can ICONADA be the clubbing place for web content curators? Or even the exhibitions hall of the curators' works?

Comment by iPLOP on July 6, 2011 at 12:22am: I came across a good book by Steven Rosenbaum, Curation Nation: How to Win In a World Where Consumers Are Creators. In this book, the author suggests that the editors and contributors of content to an internet site be called "curator", like a curator works in museum with his professional knowledge to organize collections of exhibit into a meaningful pattern. This blog, to me, is a testimony to Rosenbaum's thesis, where the blogger organizes outstanding photographs into a meaningful story. After reading the convincing story, we are just like having visited a nice exhibition in museum or arts gallery.
