megaproject to develop the minds of the Thai people?

From The Nation's coverage of today's anti-government protest:

4:37 pm: Uaychai Watha, an activist from northeastern provinces, says he has learnt that Thaksin will perform a superstitious rite in Si Sa Ket with help from PM's Office Minister Newin Chidchob to try to prolong his power. But he says the rite will not work as the anti-Thaksin coalition has performed another rite to block Thaksin's rite.


Watha spouted this nonsense in front of a crowd of nearly 100,000 people, knowing his comments would be televised as well.

If these are the next leaders, Thaksin should stay put.

Maybe he can start a megaproject to develop the minds of the Thai people.
