Subject: [AIPL] Muslim Violence Destroying Economy in Southern Thailand
By Rungrawee C. Pinyorat Associated Press Writer
Published: Sep 18, 2005
PATTANI, Thailand (AP) - The open-air market in this southern Thai city falls
eerily quiet on Fridays. Most vendors stay home, terrorized by leaflets
threatening to kill or cut off the ears of anyone who works on the Muslim holy
day.
After 20 months of insurgent violence, the no-work threat has driven another
nail into what is becoming an economic coffin in Thailand's terrorized southern
provinces.
"My business has been bad as customers are afraid to come out," said Thanchanok
Putroy, 39, chopping up a catfish in the market where most stores were shut and
buses aren't running.
Among the hundreds killed in the predominantly Muslim provinces of Pattani, Yala
and Narathiwat are police and soldiers, but police records show that 80 percent
are civilians - rubber tappers, shopkeepers, civil servants, construction
workers and ice cream vendors.
Bombs have exploded at a department store, a cinema complex, the international
airport at Hat Yai and a department store owned by the French Carrefour chain.
Now investors and tourists have been driven off and some workers are leaving.
"Trade has dropped 70 to 80 percent. Shopkeepers complain loudly. It is very
quiet at night and people from outside dare not to come to the area," said Panya
Ongsakul, chairman of the three provinces' chamber of commerce.
Always among the country's poorest regions, per capita monthly income in
Narathiwat is 2,120 baht ($51), less than half the national average. Many Muslim
villagers are angry at the government, but also want them to quell the violence
so they can continue what have traditionally been peaceful lives in this rural
region of 1.8 million people.
Fruit rots on trees and farmers in remote areas tap rubber by day rather than at
night when trees yield their best sap.
Soaring demand, driven by the booming Chinese economy, has doubled rubber's
price on the global market, but production in Pattani province has plummeted to
a tenth of its volume in just a year, according to official statistics.
The 117-room Royal Princess, the largest hotel in Narathiwat, closed in January
after occupancy dropped by half. Killings at building sites have chased away
Buddhist workers and some contractors from outside the area have stopped bidding
on new projects.
Prices of quarried rock have doubled, because the government severely limited
the use of explosives that were reportedly being stolen for bomb attacks. The
government eased the curbs as part of efforts to revive the economy, but Defense
Minister Thammarak Isarangura Na Ayutthaya, while warily approving the measure,
said he expected coffins would have to be stockpiled for bomb victims.
