Chalerm idea blocked

Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej cautioned his interior minister yesterday for floating the idea of designating the deep South as a special administrative zone in order to quell insurgency.

"I would like to tell Chalerm Yoobamrung that I have faced so many criticisms for making such comments," he said.

Samak said Chalerm should not rush to circulate his "half-baked opinions" on the security situation in the South before discussing and forming a firm stand with authorities concerned.

"I understand that Chalerm might have read and agreed about the special zone from some books, but it is dangerous to flaunt his stand when he should have discussed the issue within a small circle first," he said, in reference to a planned national security meeting to review the southern insurgency. "I just want to say to Chalerm that his comments on such an issue might trigger more problems," he said.
