| #3 RJ, it's not that they want train services per se to stop, but that they want to cut off the three southern provinces completely from Thailand. Thailand gained those three provinces about a hundred years ago, and certain groups in Malaysia want them back. The funding comes from Iran, the weapons and ideas come from Malaysia. |
