"Who am I?" - Matichon Weekly, February 23-March 1, 2007 The cover story on General Sonthi is critical of the speech he gave about wanting the Thaicom satellite back under Thai ownership. The writer contends that General Sonthi should ask himself "Who is General Sonthi?" Since he is the chairperson of CNS he should be 1000 times more careful and circumspect than other people. Otherwise his views could be distorted and not understood by foreigners. It might seem that the head of the coup sends a signal to seize assets back from private businesses. When Thais say "Who am I?" in this kind of situation, a better translation meaningwise in English is something like "You should remember/be aware of who you are." |
