Head office issues relaxation on travel restriction to Thailand today. Schools and businesses has resumed today and our sister companies had resumed their business operation late yesterday evening. Streets in Bangkok and other cities have return to normalcy following the formation of the interim government to draft a new constitution which will lead to a fresh election in 2007.

The Council for Democratic Reform (CDR) chaired by General Sonthi was formed following yesterday peaceful coup d’etat. The CDR was reportedly to have the support of King Bhumibol. Read this.

Yet another disturbing turn of event in Thailand. The military coup in Thailand has affected business transaction. All the 21 of our sister companies in Thailand are unusually closed today due to uncertainties. Head office immediately issued an advisory travelling, prohibiting all business travelling to Thailand until further notice.

Let’s hope that peace be maintained and our counterparts in Thailand do not have to resolve to leave the country.
