MALAYSIA MUST SPEAK CAREFULLY ON THAILAND'S FRACTIOUS SOUTH
PRIME MINISTER Najib Razak was not the first and probably will not be the last Malaysian leader to suggest to Thailand that one way out of the ongoing conflict in the Malay-speaking South is to grant the people there some sort of autonomy.

Chavalit suggests autonomous region
PM not impressed with 'Pattani City' proposal

Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has raised the idea of establishing an autonomous "Pattani City" covering the southern border provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala.
The chairman of the opposition Puea Thai Party yesterday said his party wanted to see a Pattani City where people could take care of their own issues.
"The southerners deserve respect from others", but they would still be subject to the Thai constitution and other laws, Gen Chavalit said.
The Pattani City's legal structure would be similar to that of Chiang Mai City Municipality which is governed by a separate administrative law under the charter.
Gen Chavalit called for new legislation to empower people in the lower South to look after their own affairs to a greater degree without giving any details as to how that could be done.
He only said that the government needed to figure that out.
Gen Chavalit said it was not difficult to solve the unrest in the southernmost provinces which was a consequence of hatred for unfair administrators. Sensible solutions would be effective.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva later responded to the autonomy plan by saying he was not impressed.
He said southern people enjoyed sufficient administrative authority through the government's power decentralisation scheme.
"People in the region will also have their own special economic development zone in the future," he said.
Mr Abhisit said the word "autonomy" was problematic because people had a different concept of the level of freedom under autonomy.
The bottom line was that everyone was subject to the constitution, he said.
Gen Chavalit yesterday blamed the Abhisit government for the mess in the South. He will visit the region today to meet local residents. He also plans to later travel to Malaysia, Burma, Vietnam, Laos and China to boost relations.
Mr Abhisit told reporters it would take years before the solutions being applied in the South would begin to bear fruit, which would include adjusting laws, organisation and developing directions to suit the region.
The prime minister yesterday convened a meeting of senior security officials including army chief Anupong Paojinda and National Security Council secretary-general Thawil Pliensri to discuss the region's problems, but denied the meeting was aimed at restricting Gen Chavalit's movements in the South.
The meeting was held to pass on the government's concerns over human rights abuses related to security operations in the lower South to senior security officers, Mr Abhisit said.
He said information from the civil sector was passed on to security officials so they could improve their operations.
Complaints about rights violations, such as forced confessions, and the misspending of village development funds were still being received.
The information came from non-governmental organisations that work with people in the region.
Plans are afoot to reduce the authority of government officials working in the South, he said.
