I watch news from a television in the morning and I find this big news about Thaicom that is a problem for a long time in Thailand. Thai government is offering Singapore to buy Thaicom to avoid future conflicts. Financial Minister flys to Singapore in mid- April as political protests are escalting to meet Temasek executives with the proposals.
Moreover, They ask to co-operate with the Thai government to stop the red shirt protesters People Channel (PTV) from broadcasting inappropriate programmes via Thaicom. Temasek agrees and referred the matter to the Thaicom board and subsequently, the PTV broadcasts is blocked. The second proposal is that asking Temasek if it would be possible for a Thai state enterprise, either MCOT or CAT telecom to take over Temasek's indirect investment in the satelite operate.
If the deal was successful, Thaicom would in effect become a state enterprise and the government would find it easier to regulate satelite broadcasting. It will be good thing because it will erase all issues that have annoyed both Thaicom and the government.
