Lessons Learned from the Implementation of Southern Thailand Empowerment and Participation (STEP) Project 2010 – 2014 Lessons Learned from the Implementation of Southern Thailand Empowerment and Participation (STEP) Project 2010 – 2014 UNDP, Prince of Songkla University, STEP Output 1 Strengthened institutional capacity of community-based organizations and media in promoting social cohesion Implemented Projects Under this output, STEP’s work involves capacity building for civil society organizations and alternative media that suits the local context. It emphasizes on contents and use mediums that help strengthen the peace process. It presents news, which reflect opinions and needs of the society in various aspects, be they social, cultural and educational. It provides space for underreported stories. STEP also supports local media to produce Malay language news to provide readers with an alternative. The initiative was well received and the local Malay dialect was given more attention. More and more government agencies began to allow the use of local Malay dialect. This includes the use of this language in the organizations’ signs. Newspapers, community radios in the area were more interested in producing news reports in Malay. This helps change public perception of the language, which previously was perceived by some as a “terrorist” language. It highlights the uniqueness and potentials of Malay, which is the language most spoken in ASEAN. STEP project began its programs to strengthen capacity of civil society organizations and media so as to promote social cohesion by conducting a survey and mapping of civil society organizations and community organizations working in the South. This enables STEP to identify actors in the civil society networks in the three southernmost provinces and learn about their activities. We have a database of 12 sectors of civil society organizations, which has been used as a basis for capacity building and cooperation. Project Achievement The achievement and sustainability of the projects can be explained as follows: 1 Creating a database of civil society organizations in the three southernmost provinces in 12 sectors as well as research on community organizations and civil society organizations in relation STEP Project 1 to development in the southern border provinces. This could be of benefits to individuals and organizations interested in database of civil society and community organizations working in the South. 2 Creating a database on media in the southern border provinces. This includes media capacity and online news coverage in the five southern border provinces, the roles and capacity of traditional media in being an alternative platform for the development in the South, the status, role and the strengthening of radio in peacebuilding in the five southernmost provinces of Satun, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat, the survey on the state of local and paid televisions in the five southernmost provinces, new coverage on women in the South and media and peacebuilding in the southernmost region. These research works could be a great source for individuals and organizations interested in the roles and capacity of media in development and peacebuilding in the region. 3. Organizing public forums. This includes “Local South Talk: Friday College”, and “Youth Talk Forum: Peace Parliament”. The latter is a venue for opinion exchange among youths from seven institutions i.e. Association of Southern Political Science and Public Administration, Prince of Songkla University’s Faculty of Political Science (Pattani Campus), Yala Islamic College’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Rajabhat Yala University’s Faculty of Humanity and Social Science, Hat Yai University’s Political Science, Prince of Songkla University’s Faculty of Commerce and Management (Trung Campus), Prince of Songkla University’s Faculty of Liberal Arts and Management (Surathani Campus). The public forum provides a venue for discussion and the exchange of knowledge, which help strengthen and enhance people’s participation on the issues of politics, society, economics, religion, philosophy, art and culture, community, education, agriculture, natural resources, environment, science and technology, energy, health, media and information, research and development. This is of benefit for various groups of participants, including villagers, development workers, government officers, social activists, academics, students and university staff. 4 Organizing media training for students from private Islamic schools in the southernmost provinces. This project was undertaken by Deep South Watch’s Deep South Journalism School (DSJ). It aims to enhance students’ capacity to write news and produce contents in Thai and Malay. There were 18 students from private Islamic schools who attended the capacity building training and 11 private Islamic schools joined the network to work on media and communications. The project later produced a monthly magazine entitled Sinaran, written in Malay (Jawi script) and Thai. The magazine was well received and helped ease tension in areas where local people felt that their identity had been suppressed. The preservation of Malay language is an “in-between” activity that helps nurture “positive peace” (a concept refers to positive content such as restoration of relationships, the creation of social systems that serve the needs of the whole population and the constructive resolution of conflict.) It presents issues STEP Project 2 through various communication channels, both existing and newly-created, in order to create better understanding and help resolve conflict. Moreover, the project also tried to link this project with other radio stations, newspapers and online media run by Deep South Journalism School. Various activities were carried out to build capacity for journalists, such as, conducting Malay-language media trainings, holding mobile news meetings, producing monthly newsletters (later became a magazine) and organizing seminars on local Malay dialect media. As for the role of communication in conflict resolution, we have witnessed the change in government policies and the increasing recognition of the use of Malay language. This is demonstrated in the fifth objective of the National Security Council’s Policy on Administration and Development in the Southern Border Provinces 2012-2014, which states that the state must promote education and awareness of the value of multicultural society. The government has encouraged local people to learn Thai, Malay, local Malay dialect and foreign languages for educational and communication purpose. It also set up Malay-language radio and television stations and recently established Thai-Malay Language Institute in October 2013. 5 Conducting investigative journalism. Rungrawee Chalermsripinyorat, an independent analyst, wrote two books entitled “Dissecting the Thinking of Patani Independence Movement” and “The Road to Patani Peace Process”, based on in-depth interviews with militants and ex-militants. These two books represent an attempt to improve the quality of media coverage of the southern conflict. They were publicly published and distributed to interested individuals and organizations. Output 2 Improved income generation and employment opportunities of communities Community response to the establishment of community learning centers Based on field visits to two Community Business Model Learning Centers in the past two years (Mieng Thong group in Yamu sub-District and Thong Muan group in Laem Pho sub- district. Both are in Pattani’s Yaring District), STEP observes that both groups have organized various trainings for the unemployed in the communities and help enhance their vocational skills. Housewives, aged between 18 – 45 years old, have developed new skills and take up a new job. Previously, many worked in small-scale agriculture or as daily wage workers and earned only about 150 baht a day, which is insufficient to cover household expenses. The ongoing violent conflict also contributes to unemployment and women in the communities have no income as a result. Members of the two community business model learning centers realize the significance of vocational skill development. Therefore, they have contacted Office of the Non-Formal and STEP Project 3 Informal Education and requested for a training course on making mieng kham (Thai snack wrapped in leaves). Since the community business learning centers was set up, there was a continuous flow of interested individuals who came to attend the ten-day training. The centers normally received 3-4 groups of visitors per month, who either simply made a visit or come to receive training (students, government officials or interested individuals). The fact that the training is practical and can be used to boost income generates great interest among the local people. Currently, the training has been further developed and adjusted to better serve the need of villagers. It includes other skills, such as sale promotion, marketing and packaging improvement. Those completing the training were entitled to receive a certificate from Office of the Non-Formal and Informal Education. They would also be informed about follow-up activities of the housewife groups and be able to seek consultation from the learning centers. On household account and the operation of community business, housewife groups have strictly managed their account. Since the training in March 2013, they have made considerable success. After deducting the cost and community saving, they still have profit margin. The accounting record shows that the group of mieng kham makers earns about 1,000

  • The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please Tell Us More About King
    The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please tell us more about King Ramkhamhaeng!” exclaimed Klahan. The Tak Bai Thai boy and his younger brother, Chit sat expectantly before Awut, their grandfather. Awut smiled as he started his second round of stories. His grandsons love a good story, and Awut certainly had a wealth of old folk tales, told to him as a boy by his own parents. The old Tak Bai Thai man knew that a day will come when his grandsons would be more interested in the Internet and computer games than listen to old folk tales. The Tak Bai Thai’s origins are linked to King Ramkhamhaeng of the ancient Thai kingdom of Sukhothai. This king extended the power of his kingdom from central Siam down south to the Malay Peninsula in the 13th century. To secure his foothold, he relocated thousands of his subjects along with their Buddhist faith into what is now northern Malaysia and southern Thailand. Today these people are called the Tak Bai Thai. While they mainly occupy Tak Bai District in Narathiwat Province, they also live in Pattani and Yala provinces. Their language is quite different from standard Thai and is described as a variant of the language of old Sukhothai. The 21,000 Tak Bai Thai live alongside their Muslim Pattani Malay neighbours. Both groups generally tolerate each other, though the ongoing insurgency by separatist Pattani Malay rebels has shaken the security of the Tak Bai Thai. The Tak Bai Thai are staunch Theravada Buddhists, having resisted the influence of Islam for centuries.

    FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Sara A. Jones June 2007 This thesis entitled FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM by SARA A. JONES has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Elizabeth Fuller Collins Associate Professor of Classics and World Religions Drew O. McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies Abstract JONES, SARA A., M.A., June 2007, Southeast Asian Studies FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM (130 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Fuller Collins This thesis examines how the Thai newspaper, The Nation (an English-language daily), portrays the violence in the Malay-Muslim South through the use of agenda- setting concepts and framing analyses in articles published about four events in 2004. Two of the events are examples of state aggression against southern insurgents whereas the other two are instances in which southern insurgents were the primary aggressors against the state and/or citizens. The history of the Malay-Muslim dominant provinces is reviewed, showing how the separatist movement has evolved into three distinct waves. The original secessionist movements focused on ethnic Malay identity; over time elements of Islamist ideology were introduced such that the current movement is not recognizably a separatist or Islamist movement. This thesis also includes a short analysis of articles published in Matichon sutsapd, a Thai-language weekly, and shows how Malay-Muslim Thais in the South demand justice.

  • Civil Unrest in Southern Thailand: Roles and Challenges of Malaysia Field: Strategy Name: Radm Syed Zahrul Putra RMN Course: NDC Class 60
    Civil Unrest in Southern Thailand: Roles and Challenges of Malaysia By Rear Admiral Syed Zahrul Putra Royal Malaysian Navy Student of the National Defence College The National Defence Course: Class 60 Academic Year 2017 - 2018 i Abstract Title: Civil Unrest in Southern Thailand: Roles and Challenges of Malaysia Field: Strategy Name: Radm Syed Zahrul Putra RMN Course: NDC Class 60 Series of violence in Southern Thailand resurgence in late 2001 and eventually escalated dramatically in 2004. Many scholars regarded this conflict entailed from the manifestation of deep resentment of the people in the southern provinces towards the central government especially with regards to the historical factor, culture, leadership style and economic deprivation. Being an immediate neighbour, Malaysia in an absolute sense, is affected physically in this situations. The Southern Thailand is experiencing a situation where there is neither total nor civil war. But the “tone” of having some kind of conflict and unrest in these provinces is clearly evident. Malaysia has significantly played several roles in assisting to restore peace and stability in Southern Thailand provinces. One of the examples is the establishment of General Border Committee (GBC) between Thailand and Malaysia with the primary objective of GBC is to enhance the security and stability in the border areas. It has helped bridging differences, building contacts and facilitating communication between the two countries. Additionally, leaders from both sides maintain close ties through regular official and non-official visits in various forums. The Malaysian government has viewed the conflict in the Southern Thailand seriously. The geographical proximity between the two countries placed Malaysia within the parameters of what is essentially as Thai internal problem.

  • Geology of the Batu Melintang-Sungai Kolok Transect Area Along the Malaysia – Thailand Border
    GEOLOGY OF THE BATU MELINTANG-SUNGAI KOLOK TRANSECT AREA ALONG THE MALAYSIA – THAILAND BORDER By The Malaysian and Thai Working Groups A joint project carried out by Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia and Department of Mineral Resources, Thailand The Malaysia-Thailand Border Joint Geological Survey Committee (MT-JGSC) 2006 - ii - PREFACE This report together with its accompanying geological map on the scale 1:250,000 is the result of close cooperation between the Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia, and the Department of Mineral Resources, Thailand in resolving problems related to cross border geological correlation between Malaysia and Thailand. Fieldwork was carried out separately (July – August 2001) in the Batu Melintang and Sungai Kolok areas and then jointly checked (5-11 April 2002) by geoscientists from both Malaysia and Thailand, covering a total area of about 1,350 square kilometres along the common border. Problems on the discontinuity of time rock unit boundaries between the various rocks found in both sides of the common border areas have been satisfactorily resolved. Potential mineral deposits occur along the border areas but the present security situation, as well as environmental issues does not encourage the exploitation of these mineral deposits. Future increase in the price of minerals coupled with advances in mining technology may facilitate joint exploitation of these mineral deposits.
