Moment of reckoning during difficult times

Malaysia does not have any protest. What we have is a parliament with a minority government (or a government with a razor-thin majority) led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

AS protests raged on the streets of Bangkok in early October against King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his family, Thailand declared an emergency.

The king, who lives in Germany and comes back for only short visits, ordered the crackdown after what was described as an action by protestors that had an impact on the royal motorcade carrying his wife.
