Generals don’t want Jakarta to host Thai-Cambodian border meeting
Maybe we will never see the day, but it is imperative that this country and its people come to an understanding that the military must not be permitted to interfere with politics and that they are going to have to swallow the bitter pill of taking orders from elected civilians.
For too long the country has put up with military interference in national politics. We come out in full force when they cross certain line, such as staging a coup d’etat, but we often overlook smaller incidents that are also important.
The latest fiasco centres on the military’s threat to boycott a meeting to be held in Indonesia, the chair of this year’s Asean Standing Committee.
