I'd hazard more than a guess that with increasing Communist China military connections to the Thai government is coming with increasing Communist Chinese biometric surveillance expertise, software and hardware - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_China

Of cause biometric surveillance and GPS tracking (with a legal request to do this without warrants) is a strength of every developed country's security agency http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-30/asio-detects-spike-in-online-extremism-during-coronavirus/12295426

CORRECTION - damn typos!

I'd worry Murray! Don't see any of this ending well?

Is Malaysia prepared to go to war to protect their northern brothers?

And would your own ethnic minorities and your past treatment of them assist in that regard? Or hinder?

Let's see if I can clear the muddy waters of your article, Murray, and get to the truth.

From the way I am reading it, once again the damned Muslims are acting up and committing acts of terrorism, this time in Thailand, in order to make a Muslim enclave under Sharia Law. Yeah, that figures. Which is why sensible people do not like or trust Muslims. And no one gives a damn about the so called "Royhinga's"

One wonders how long it will be before they try the same thing in Australia?

The Thais are using new technology to fight the insurgents who set off bombs and kill Thais, and you think that is unfair?

Who's side are you on, Murray? Do you face Mecca when you pray?
