//今年10月1日是中共建政71周年,支聯會將聯同友好團體代表於10月1日11時,以倒行形式分組前往中聯辦宣讀聲明及中港在囚異見人士狀況,敦促中共改善人權,落實當年建政的承諾,停止粉飾太平,回應聲明提出的訴求。//
【沒有人權,哪有國慶?停止打壓異見 還我言論自由】聯署聲明全文
(English below)
中共建政71周年,也是中國人民飽受苦難的歷史。建政前,中共以民主、自由、繁榮、富強的承諾,欺騙萬千愛國者為其拋頭顱、灑熱血。建政後首30年,階級鬥爭為綱,政治運動頻仍;經濟冒進失誤,赤地千里,餓殍遍野。接著的10年,推行經濟改革,但仍堅持獨裁專政,打壓人民訴求,導致胡耀邦、趙紫陽下台,更發生「六四」血腥鎮壓。「六四」後31年來,貪污腐敗猖獗,貧富兩極分化,弱勢社群備受壓榨,道德倫理殆盡,維權和異見人士被拘入獄,全國籠罩白色恐怖,人權蕩然。習近平專政下,14億人民仍活在沒有人權、沒有尊嚴中,有甚麼值得慶祝?
今天是中共所謂的「國慶」,但71年來,許多人只因表達政治立場慘遭拘禁和酷刑,直到今天,仍有不計其數人士因言獲罪,身陷囹圄。在這個令人憤慨而非喜慶的日子,支聯會等團體特別關注被所謂「危害國家安全」罪名拘押的中國和香港抗爭者,他們面對獨裁政權迫害,我們在香港也正經歷同樣命運。
對中國異見人士來說,中國政府以所謂「國家安全」為理由作出種種打壓,是每天不能承受的痛。今年,香港人失去法治和自由,自中央政府於6月30日強推《港區國安法》後,多名人士以所謂與「國安」有關的罪名被起訴,12位年輕人更因為逃亡台灣途中「被送中」,香港人自由岌岌可危,與中國異見人士更是唇齒相依。
他們代表不同年齡和不同背景人士對民主自由的渴求,在鐵幕高牆的國度仍不畏強權,以各種方式爭取民主和傳播尊重人權的訊息,但他們合法和合理的行動和訴求,卻被政權以違反所謂「國家安全」惡法無理打壓,他們的案件在中國只是冰山一角,深信還有不少被專制政權迫害而不知名的受害人。
港區《國安法》強推以來僅僅數月,言論自由空間不斷收窄,過往不少可以喊的口號和可以發起的行動,已被政府強詞奪理解讀為違反《國安法》,營造赤色恐怖,企圖噤聲,打壓異己,令香港的自由急速消逝,嚴重侵犯市民的言論自由與集會自由。
我們強烈要求中國政府和香港政府停止粉飾太平,回應以下訴求:
1)平反八九民運,還多年來承受失去至親一個公道!
2)成立獨立調查委員會,調查「六四」及香港自去年「反送中」運動的警暴行為!
3)停止假借「國家安全」名義,肆意破壞香港法治精神和打壓言論自由!
4)立即釋放中港被囚異見人士!

’Without human Rights, How Can We Celebrate “National Day”?Stop the crackdown on dissidents; give us our freedom‘
1 October 2020
The Chinese Communist Party has been in power for 71 years now—71 years of suffering for the Chinese people. Before coming to power, the Party promised to make China a democratic, free, prosperous and strong country, but it fooled hundreds of thousands of patriots into sacrificing themselves for the nation. For the first 30 years after the establishment of the regime, class struggle was the main focus and mass political campaigns were frequent. Economic policy was poorly devised, leading to famine and death.
In the following 10 years, the regime enacted economic reform but remained totalitarian. It cracked down on demands for change, leading to the fall of liberal state leaders Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang and eventually the bloodshed of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. In the subsequent 31 years, corruption has been rampant and uneven wealth distribution serious. Underprivileged groups are squeezed by those in power. Ethics and morality have collapsed. Human rights defenders and dissidents are detained and imprisoned. The whole country lives under white terror. There are simply no human rights. Under Xi Jinping’s dictatorship, 1.4 billion people are living in a society without human rights or dignity. What is there to celebrate?
Today is what the Party calls “National Day”. But over the past 71 years, many have been ruthlessly imprisoned and tortured simply for expressing their political views. Countless people are still detained for their speech. On this day we should feel outrage rather than joy,. Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and other organizations are particularly concerned about the Chinese and Hong Kong activists facing so-called “national security” charges. While those in China endure the persecution of a totalitarian regime, we in Hong Kong experience the same fate.
Chinese dissidents suffer unbearable pain every day as the Chinese government uses the pretext of “national security” to crack down on them. In this year, Hongkongers have lost rule of law and experience diminishing freedoms. Since the central government forcibly imposed the Hong Kong national security law (officially the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region”) on 30 June 2020, dozens of individuals have been charged with so-called “national security” crimes. Twelve young people fleeing to Taiwan were taken to China. Hong Kong people’s freedoms are at greater risk than ever. Hong Kong people’s fate is even more interconnected with the Chinese people’s.
Many, diverse in age and background, desire democracy and freedom. They do not fear challenging the government despite dictatorship. They fight for democracy and share information about human rights. But their legal and legitimate actions and demands have been punished by the government with so-called “national security” charges. Their cases are only the tip of the iceberg in China. There are many unknown people persecuted by the regime.
The Hong Kong national security law has been in force for several months. Freedom of expression is drastically diminishing. Protest slogans are now interpreted by the Hong Kong government as violations of the national security law. The government creates red terror, attempts to silence dissenting views, and cracks down on dissidents. Hong Kong’s freedoms are quickly disappearing. Hong Kong people’s freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are seriously infringed.
We call on the Chinese and Hong Kong governments to stop whitewashing the daunting situation in China and Hong Kong and respond to the following requests:
1. Vindicate the 1989 pro-democracy movement and give victims’ families a fair explanation, apology and compensation;
2. Establish an independent commission to investigate the Tiananmen Massacre as well as police violence during the Anti-Extradition Bill protests in Hong Kong since last year;
3. Stop using “national security” as an excuse to ruthlessly destroy Hong Kong’s rule of law and freedom of expression;
4. Immediately release all detained Chinese and Hong Kong dissidents.

สรุปเศรษฐกิจไทย ย้อนหลัง 35 ปี /โดย ลงทุนแมน
จริงๆ แล้ว ช่วงก่อนเกิด Covid-19 เศรษฐกิจไทยมีการเติบโตที่ชะลอตัวอยู่แล้ว
ซึ่งแน่นอนว่า การระบาดของ Covid-19 ก็ทำให้เศรษฐกิจของเรายิ่งย่ำแย่ลงไปอีก
ตอนนี้สงคราม Covid-19 ในประเทศไทยดูเหมือนจะใกล้จบลง...
Continue ReadingSummary of Thai economy 35 years back / by Investing Man.
In fact, before Covid-19, the Thai economy has slowed growth.
The Covid-19 outbreak certainly makes our economy worse.
Now the Covid-19 war in Thailand seems to be close to ending.
But the economic war we are facing seems to never end easily.
How interesting is this? Invest man will tell you about it.

╚═══════════╝
One of the important beginnings that made Thailand's economy grow in the past. Happened in July. B.E. 1985
When the US that was a huge trade deficit, wanted to reduce USD in comparison to major currency such as Japanese yen and Western Germany's mark, that incident led to Plaza Accord deal.
Even Thailand doesn't directly contribute to such things, but the weakening of US dollars has greatly positively affected the economy of Thailand.
At that time, Thailand has a baht bankrupted with 10 currency basket of the world's main currency. But over 80 % is tied to the USD. This is why the export sector of Thailand has an anime. Let's go too.
Moreover, Japanese yen is heavier than it hits the country's export sector.
This makes the government and private sector of Japan need to look for potential manufacturing bases to do exports, especially in countries where there is no higher wage costs.
While the unrest is neat because the war between Vietnam and Cambodia has resulted in Thailand to become the top choice of Japan and many countries.
Foreign direct investment comes into Thailand to create a phenomenon called the decade of growth of Thailand.
Eastern Seaboard Development Area Development Project is also available for heavy industrial development to create economic value for Thailand in the long term.
This story is why during 1987-1996, the Thai economy grows on average 9.3 % per year, especially in 1988 that has reached 13.3 % level.
This story makes many people say that Thailand will become the 5th tiger of Asia or countries where the economy is rapidly evolving like Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. These 4 countries have become now developed countries.
But this kind of picture that many people hope to happen to Thailand again. It seems to be faded.
Because in the past 10 years, Thai economy has likely slowed down continuously.
Year 2010-2014 GDP Thailand grows on average 3.9 % per year.
Year 2015-2019 GDP Thailand grows on average 3.4 % per year.
The latest in 1 quarter, 2020 Thai economy is 1.8 % negative and it's quite certain that the 2th quarter is ending. Thai economy will be heavily negative because of losing tourists and social distances.
Year 2019 export sector worth 7.6 trillion baht or around 45 % of GDP value.
The income from foreign tourists is worth 1.9 trillion baht or around 11 % of GDP.
The competitiveness of these 2 industries is also based on the movement of Baht.
Now the baht is getting heavier again. Many people are concerned that it will affect future export and tourism income. Even Covid-19 situation in Thailand will look better.
Even the Bank of Thailand is trying to take care of the money from being too hard by selling Baht and buying US dollars.
The evidence is that the Bank of Thailand's international reserve capital has risen more than $ 10,000 million in March to May this year, but it seems that the baht continues to rise.
Of course, the hardness of the baht is both good and bad.
But for Thailand relying on exports and tourism in a greater proportion, it seems to be negatively affecting the Thai economy in the overview.
In the past, we often hear news that many companies gradually close business. Many companies reduce investment. Due to not being able to tolerate the economic downturn, we see increasing number of unemployed countries.
End of quarter 1/2019 There are 346,480 unemployed people in Thailand.
End of quarter 1/2020 There are 391,770 unemployed people in Thailand.
When combined with new graduates entering the labour market, around 400,000 people may increase the number of unemployed in the future.
Information from the industrial department indicates that the number of licensed and informed companies are likely to decrease.
First 4 months of 2019 number of 1,054 Factory
First 4 months of 2020 number of 876 Factory
Moreover, foreign direct investment, which is an investment in the real economic sector through bringing resources, manufacturing, labor and technology into destination countries. Most of which are long-term investments for Thailand are likely to slow down since 2018
Year 2018 Foreign direct investment equals 426,749 million Baht.
Year 2019 Foreign direct investment equals 196,350 million Baht.
Specifically, the investment from Japan in 2019 is reduced to just 79,264 million baht below the level of hundred thousand million baht for the first time since 2015
It seems that the situation of Thailand's Covid-19 is slowly getting better, but there are many things that are challenging the country's economy.
How do we get the country back to growth
How can we make our country move beyond developing countries into developed countries?
To make Thai people live better lives.
Which questions these questions.
It's a question that has been in the heart of many Thai people for long
And it should continue to be the question of our children's generation..

how many months since june 1 2020 在 Jenn’s 沬厤 Life After Cancer #spreadlovecreatehope Facebook 的最讚貼文
😔While you were thinking if my symptoms were just gastritis or dyspepsia.. Or stomach cancer.. 🤒
Deep in my heart, I was quite ready for the bad news. 💀This is also the first time my condition didn’t improve despite seeing so many doctors; taking so many different medications.🦠
Initially I told myself it should be just indigestion because that’s how it felt like in the first place. But bcs of the constant and continuous pain🌡, it led me to lots of read up n many things started to run in my head.. 🤯
Is this a recurrence of my cancer?💔
The symptoms were all SIMILAR to my pre-cancer days! Yes, cancer symptoms can be very common and almost gone undetected. 😣
Do you know, this June I’ll be officially cancer free celebrating my GREAT 5th ANNIVERSARY?
Despite all the fear and uncertainty I had, I contacted my onco to meet him a day earlier. 🩺Yes, even though it was just one day earlier.. I just can’t wait.. I was so anxious for my onco to assess my condition n symptoms. 😤I want them to scan me and to palpate my body and to tap my abdomen to tell me what is wrong with it. 😢
The previous two doc I met in a private clinic and Klinik Kesihatan didn’t perform any thorough check. But my onco did. 💪🏼They’re like my creator, they know my history and what could potentially or possibly happen to my body. They will perform all necessary check. This time, I am lucky to have two doctors to examine me. I can’t be any more grateful for them. ☝🏻They told me it is just some bad indigestion (I forgot the actual scientific term to it but it means bad gastric/ indigestion which can last longer than usual). And they did ultrasound on me, ovary, uterus, spleen, lung etc looks beautiful. 💯 The previous cyst that was detected in November has shrink from its original size and he said usually it took 3 cycles to be completely disappear, I have 2 more period cycles to go...👏🏼
I requested for CT Scan but he told me based on their assessment, the scan is not necessary. But because I was quite worried, instead of waiting for another 3 months to come back, he had arranged for me to be back in 2 months time, that’s March 2020. 👨🏻⚕️💪🏼 I also had my blood withdrawn for my usual check on AFP & CA125, the result will be out in 2 weeks time. 😬
I did shared to him my list of meds I took which I don’t think works. He then prescribed me some Esomeprazole and said some people may not be able to receive the full effectiveness of Omeprazole, hence he gave me the slightly stronger ones and guess what, it work almost like an instant magic wand, 🧚🏻♀️my back pain disappeared. My abdomen pain (front) got better too. I managed to have a good afternoon nap.
But it hasn’t completely gone. Sometimes I’m not sure if the pain was due to my gastric or hunger? Bcs I’ve since changed to smaller portion meal with regular intake.. Now, whenever I have slight pain, I’ll reach for some bites.. sometimes the toilet to see if it’s nature’s call. Probiotic definitely help in my bowel movement. From constipation to pale stool to light brown.. I hope it’s getting normal soon!😘
Things are definitely improving.
I can laugh and joke now.
I can definitely sit here writing this long updates.
At this point of writing, I’m feeling absolutely fine. No pain. This false alarm definitely reminds me of the things I’d always wanted to do but never do, I’m going to accomplish it this 2020!
But I guess, anxiety like this is normal for cancer fighters uh. When there’s any symptoms, we always go all out to get it checked and diagnosed. Bcs early detection is better than cure.👏🏼☺️
Well, let’s cheers to a wonderful year in 2020!❤️💪🏼
With good health and happiness, waste time no more! 🥂
Last but not least, thank you all for your continuous love and support. I’m forever thankful 😘 Appreciate all the text and pm in my fb and ig. Love u guys ❤️😘💓
