PETERTHEEATER Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The Indonesian government policy is to sink vessels fishing illegally in their own waters and the Thai government should consider applying the same response. (PS......Don't forget to take the crew off first) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Sounds like a t_t-for-tat, Indonesia has been seizing Thai and other foreign fishing boats in it's waters. A few years back they seized a Thai boat and a Thai reporter (female) was dispatched to some back of beyond location in Indonesia to report on it, she revealed that the Thai crew had been "press ganged" shaming Thailand in the eyes of the world. I think Thai media didn't run the story, but other media in the region did, maybe ChannelNewsAsia or Al Jaz. Perhaps it's a Widodo policy https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/indonesia-sinks-foreign-boats-illegal-fishing-vietnam-malaysia-china-a8899836.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
