Here is my a wish list for 2009:

1. May the Prime Minister become a full-fledged leader and avoid serving as a nominee.

2. May Thai people learn to understand, to love and to unite because we can't slip lower than this.

3. May Thailand avoid a civil war.

4. May the red and yellow shirts fade into oblivion.

5. May politicians belonging to the family of "greed, lust, dishonour and tricks" become extinct.

6. May the Thai economy keep up with India and China.

7. May we not lose our freedom to use wisdom.

8. May corruption not return and become the mainstream culture.

9. May the fortune-tellers refrain from making their unwelcome remarks.

By the power of the Lord Buddha

By the power of the Dharma

By the power of the monks

May all the Thai people enjoy happiness
