Someone's dead today...

Well I was pretty shocked by the news of the assasination of ex-president and current opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. It does really seem to be a matter of time, only when it really happens that matters. My dad did mention about the possible assasination of Bhutto, and who knows, with military-powered countries such as Pakistan and Thailand, the next person dead might just be Thaksin.

We shall see.

I have always been a strong advocate of proper and fair elections (I guess everyone is, until it is time to let go of one's power when one loses in an election). So it is no wonder that I have never been in favour of President Musharraff's government, simply because he engaged in a bloodless coup and took over the government of 1999. Here's a photo of him here. He looks like a baby though.


Anyway, recently we all know the PPP won the elections in Thailand, and it would soon be a matter of time once again before the army takes over the government in a coup, regardless of whether there's blood or none, and the General will take over as Prime Minister.

And we will be back to Square 1.

I suppose we should all be thankful to live in peaceful countries, be it Singapore, Sweden, Hong Kong, Tibet, Switzerland, Canada etc. Meanwhile I am sure we should be thankful to our forefathers and the PAP for doing a good job thus far of leading us till today. Although there are increasingly more opposition supporters out there in the younger generations, I feel it is better to live under a security blanket that does not stifle our needs of entertainment and livelihood.
