A Nation Mourns




















A major centre of Bangkok’s world of glamour is no more as part of the gutted CentralWorld mall comes crashing down after a fire blazed out of control for almost 20 hours.
The government underestimated the potential for violence in the wake of the surrender of the red shirt leaders, the prime minister’s secretary-general says.

The government and the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation expected retaliation by radical members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship after deciding to end the demonstration on Wednesday. A total of 52 people have been killed, 15 of them on Wednesday and yesterday, and 399 have been injured since last Friday, according to the Ewaran Emergency Centre.

After last's night's curfew, the situation in Bangkok and upcountry appears to have improved significantly, but how could it have got any worse no one know that. I think people should comply with law and stay calm.
