Chonburi panel tackles road fatality problems: Here again everyone knows what the problem is and who is responsible. The Thais are getting good like the Chinese in practicing the Art of War philosophy that when there is a problem just divert it to someone or somewhere else. “The commission subcommittees will gather accident statistics, determine the cause of smashups and the risk factors involved. Another group will work to prevent accidents by improving navigational information and minimizing that risk factor.” Before you spend all this money and time I will tell you like I told you about the lights! “It won’t help.” Go to Soi Nernplabwan and stand outside the police box passed Soi 8, and watch the driving habits. There lays your answer and when you realize it the question is whether you have the fortitude to do what is right throughout this city and set a example for the rest of Thailand.
But the real reality is in a year’s time we will still be talking about the same thing because doing nothing and continuing to accept the corruption while the population suffers and dies each day is easier than doing something. This actually comes from someone who wasn’t born but lives here who actually cares about Thai people and others.
Good luck,
Jeff Chumuchi
