Look to make change in new year
Tuesday, 15 December 2009December 16, 2009"Let me share with you what I have learned: Positive attitudes breed positive results; you cannot always control your life circumstances, but you can control your attitudes toward those circumstances; what whips you is not defeat but your mental attitude toward it; a positive attitude produces a positive perception and changes the situation for the better; thoughts can be developed."
A. Gaffar Peang-MethPacific Daily News (Guam)
In 15 days, 2009 will give way to the new year, 2010. Time does not stand still, life evolves and changes. And how the world has changed!
Change comes in different forms. Some change occurs without our input; some change is of our making. Some changes are positive, other changes cause us to feel regret. But in the ages-old process of renewal and new beginnings, the advent of a new year brings us opportunity to look forward to the inevitable changes that will challenge us in 2010.
Some of us like the slogan, "Yes, we can," and speak of change, but leave to others the hard work of bringing it to fruition.

I SPENT the last 24 hours trying to figure Hun Sen out. I failed. The sugar daddy smile, the warm handshake, the photo session - in fact, the overall treatment of pardoned Thai "spy" Sivarak Chutipong was simply out of this world. It was the closest real-life diplomacy has ever come to Mr Bean.

Just a few days ago, Sivarak Chutipong was a billed by Cambodian authorities as a spy for the Thai government and a threat to national security. He was charged and convicted for supplying the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh with Thaksin Shinawatra's flight schedule - a crime that is punishable by death in many countries.
However, all Sivarak was doing was just seeking the itinerary of Thaksin, a man who prides himself as a figure whose advice is often sought by countries like Cambodia, and a handful of African and Central American nations.
