If the world had a button to reset
Then press back and start over in the past.
We might want to know what Mr. Thaksin wants to go back to do.

If thaksin is still in Thailand
And that day thaksin didn't sell chin corp to temasek.
Now Mr. Thaksin will be 1 of the 5 richest in Thailand.

Today is the 11th anniversary of the coup 19 September 2549
It seems like since that day, Thailand hasn't been the same anymore

That day, Mr. Thaksin Shinawa cuddle sq. Working as prime minister was in the us. When he met a coup, he has been taking refuge abroad since.

In fact, Mr. Thaksin came back to Thailand again in 2551 but it was a short time.

Today, the investment man page will tell the history of thaksin's business. Not talking about politics and ask for permission from readers. Don't comment on politics.

When I went back to see the history of shinawa family tree cuddle sq. Grandfather was Chinese. He evacuated to Chiang Mai. Selling silk from China. He set up a weaving factory and shinawa shop. Cuddle sq. Silk is famous. Mr. Thaksin also has a trade Helping Dad sell coffee and taking care of the theater

Year 2522
When I was 30 years old, I finished Phd.

Mr. Thaksin studied very well at 1 of the police cadet school and paid to continue studying until the Phd. When he returned to the police headquarters, he did personal business with both selling silk, selling film.

Year 2526
When I was 34 years old, Mr. Thaksin Set up shinawa company cuddle sq. Computer..

In the old days, trading with government, there were many requirements that made ibm companies, American nationality companies unable to sign a direct contract. So you appoint shinawa cuddle sq. Thaksin to be a company to sell computer to sell computers to government sector to make business Grow up

In addition to being an ibm agent, it also represent at & T TO SELL DATA KIT, data communication system with voice to the phone organization to get several radio frequency concessions from the national radio frequency coordination and management committee or frog. Road road By venture with foreign people, providing the first generation of Pager Pack and later made in the name of phone link.

Then Mr. Thaksin Got GSM 900 Mhz phone concession and Thai khom satellite

So Mr. Thaksin resigned after 8 years of service and a thousand police call was the last rank (but the rank was taken off by the police. In 2558)

Year 2533
At 41 years old, Mr. Thaksin Ipo, the company entered the stock exchange for the first time..

The main company of khun thaksin has 3 companies as follows.

Shinawa cuddle sq. Computer Service & Inwes Co Ltd. (shincorp or intouch currently established in 2526 IPO YEAR 2533, this company is holding company. 40.45 % shareholders. 40.45 % and Thai Sharp 41.41 %

Advance Infour Service Co Ltd. (AIS) established in 2529 IPO 2534

Shinsatellight Co Ltd. (Thai khom currently) Established 2534 IPO 2537

Mr. Thaksin did not shareholders ais and Thai khom, but shareholders in corp and took chin corp to hold ais and Thai khom again. It means that if thaksin sells all business to others, sell shares in chin corp.

After that, Mr. Thaksin started getting into politics by soliciting from the simuang simuang..

Year 2544
At 52 years old, Mr. Thaksin became the 23th Prime Minister and the first and only prime minister to come from the election until the term.

Before entering the position, Mr. Thaksin and wife have clarified the property of 15,124 million baht. There are many work under the government since the project of 30 baht. Cure all diseases. One Sub-District, one product converts assets into capital of Thai Kitchen, Converting cuddle state enterprise into a company in the lotto stock exchange on earth.

The Next 2th time won another election in 2548

If you have a lover, there must be haters.

On the other side of the administration, there are people who attack populist policies, not clarify the property details by claiming to run and
Several contracts have been changed to conducive cuddle sq. which causes the court decided to seize the money later time.

Year 2549 turning point
The peak won't be able to escape in 2549 Mr. Thaksin Sold Shin Corp shares to temasek, Singapore government investment company.

The deal was worth 73,274 million baht which was the highest historical deal in Thailand.

The first issue is thaksin selling shares after using the new telecommunications for only 2 days.

New Telecommunications. What's important?

This blessing allows foreign people to shareholders in telecommunications companies to increase from 25 % to 50 %

And it seems consistent that in 2 days later, Mr. Thaksin sold 49.595 % shares in shin corp company to temasek.

And another point is not paying taxes on selling shares.

Ampearl Rich is Mr. Thaksin's company in British Virgin. If you sell it to temasek straight away, you will pay taxes because ampearl rich is considered an entity. If the entity sells stocks has profit, you must pay taxes.

So Mr. Thaksin avoided amperrich to sell to your child thaksin at low price (low price so that ampearl rich will not have profit, make it not get tax) and give luu. I come to sell even if i have to try it again (because ordinary people trade shares in the stock exchange. No need to pay taxes)

In conclusion, this deal, Mr. Thaksin uses legal loophole that even the revenue department is confused. I don't know if i will collect tax.

Because if you look at the law straight away, you don't have to pay taxes. But the last revenue comment is that this intent is considered a law. Camouflage to be taxed

But anyway..
This story has changed Mr. Thaksin's life forever.

This is the point that makes big things grow up that Mr. Thaksin has to collapse the council and stories come to cause a political vacuum, so it caused a coup 11 years ago today..

Year 2553
The Supreme Court decided to seize Mr. Thaksin's money for 46,373 million baht to the land. For the reason is to use power as prime minister to benefit his business. Many contracts to conducive ais and Thai sharp to cost cheaper costs.

46,373 million baht that is the portion of profit and dividend after being prime minister.

In conclusion, Mr. Thaksin got money from temasek for 73,274 million baht without paying taxes, but he got seized for 46,373 million baht. Easy to think, it's only 26,901 million baht.

This does not include the IRS that will charge tax backwards from selling temasek shares. Mr. Thaksin thinks that the profit has been seized. What else will they collect tax because there is no profit, but the other one thinks it is different karma. I have the right to take over again.

The IRS charge tax with interest back 17,629.58 million baht.

If the IRS can keep it for real, thaksin's money will be 9,271.42 million baht (less than khun Rob's family. If you are now has property worth 19,409 million baht)

Year 2560
What if thaksin doesn't sell shares to temasek at that time, how much money will Mr. Thaksin have now?

Intouch Company (Original Shincorp). Now it's worth the company 189,980 million baht.

If thaksin holds the same shape at 49.595 % now it will be worth 94,220 million baht.

Many people may think it's a lot, but in fact, the dividend since 2549 that shin corp company paid all shareholders to 138,288 million baht. When multiply the proportion of 49.595 % will be 68,584 million baht.

When a total of 2 items together, you will get the answer that if Mr. Thaksin is still shareholders chin corp.

Mr. Thaksin will have 162,804 million baht..

This amount is 2 times more than the value that I sell to temasek and it can't compare to the rest of the money after being seized.

And If Mr. Thaksin is still shareholder, Mr. Thaksin should be ranked the 5th rich in Thailand as the owner of cp Thai Bev Central and red bull.

But Mr. Thaksin is now 68 years old and is taking refuge in Dubai. There are 7 lawsuits. Divorced with lady phjaman wife.

This makes me realize that no matter how rich people are, what they really want will be happiness, not money.

If the world has a button to reset and press back and start again in the same spot in the past.

Wonder if Mr. Thaksin wants to press that button? Mr. Thaksin wants to press reset back to 2544 and stop playing politics?

11 years ago, it would have been your lost 11 years. Thaksin.

But it's actually not thaksin, but it should be 11 years missing all of us..
Thailand Thailand

All the stories, what happened. We are all related from past to present.

Results from everyone's actions have resulted to this day.

And unfortunately for us that there is no reset button to go back.

But what will happen next is our future. We will give birth to the future.

So what kind of path will we all choose to be proud of the right path and don't want to press the reset button anymore..

" because it's our country.
Not a country of one, two people.
It's a country of all people.
Because the problem is at the time of birth. I will use the word crazy.
When people have severe practices, they forget themselves.
Ending. They don't know why they fight.
And what to solve?
Only to overcome
So who will win no way
It's dangerous. I only lose.
Well, different people lose.
Those who face loses.
And the most loser is the nation.
The people will be the whole country.
Not the people only in Bangkok
If assuming
Only in Bangkok is damaged.
The country is totally damaged.
And What's the use?
To be proud of winning
Time on the wreck "

我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省，讀中學時成績非常好，分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生，因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科，第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中，第二年入住大學國際宿舍，宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生，不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友，與他們很合得來，不過最重要是入住宿舍後，便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時，聽到一些很悅耳的音樂，我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞，他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌，但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲，便到唐人街購買，後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞，因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌，所以在大學的同學活動，開始演唱中文歌，也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽，參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」，結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得，國際宿舍為了文化交流，每年舉辦一次國際晚宴，希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項，那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲，所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇，我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶，學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習，其他同學看到我很用心練習，也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞，當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星，來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司，需要義務司機，朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了，後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練，我們便駕車往坎培拉，當日天氣多雲有微雨，甚麽也看不清楚，喝過咖啡後便離開，回程是Leslie駕駛，他的英語非常好，途中我們愉快地暢談，這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲，我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店，介紹人在偶像面前，誤把我的名字說成河詠麟，當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音，知道我懂得唱他的歌，所以告訴了他，在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星，對我的影響很大，聽到他們的歌，和看到觀眾的反應，我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌，沒有用功讀書，因此醫科的第三年考試不合格，需要重讀，在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作，還做了個多月砌磚的工作，我把工作一年多，所得工資儲起來，買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元，便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應，但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有，只是刻意買了一張單程機票，是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄，返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識，沒有計劃，也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道，但我的朋友不是在那裡居住，因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做，所以在外面逛了幾天，有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館，中門外有四名男士在吸煙，他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員，在一九八六年見過面，但相隔一年，竟然還可以記起我，這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練，他們帶我進去體育館，這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場，我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場，但是有少許問題出現，因為我住的地方有規定，晚上十時半後便會關門，不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場，每晚看完演唱會，我會行去尖沙嘴，然後再步行回廣播道，然後在公園外的石椅小睡，到五時公園開門便進去睡覺，但最終因捱不住，有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我，今晚可否上台唱歌，我說當然可以，便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心，但第二次他在台上介紹，有一個外國人，唱他的歌十分出色，當他呼喚河詠麟出場，因為我不在場，所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現，我便向他解釋原因，他便安排我入住酒店，直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台，這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」，真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓，其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住，有一次從北角行到中環，看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示，我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文，但我不是教師，他認為沒有問題，便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月，有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報，需要招聘 一個西方人，但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵，他是一位獨立經紀，我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好，他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製，她給我一段英文劇本，要我讀出來。因為很緊張，五分鐘都不能出聲，我跟自己說，不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級，責備人一定是很大聲的，所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事，沒有再理會我，但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇，她無奈地聘請了我，這套劇集需要兩個西方人，另外一位是當主角，從那時開始，便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓，在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人，唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道，他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面，我不知為何找我拍攝封面，原來三位老闆是認識我的，只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我，他們有一首歌，問我會否願意演唱，那首歌曲我很熟悉，歌詞十分口語化，應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五，表演是在星期日，只得兩天時間作準備，所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞，但我盡量避免看電視屏幕，只是有需要時才看一看，便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心，我可以扮了演一個角色，唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌，觀眾很熱鬧和興奮，真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次，這不是自己可以做到，是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎，而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我，表示將會舉辦總選，問我會否參加，我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者，會有兩首歌曲，在十二月廿六日接到新歌，我從沒有聽過那首歌，是一首說唱歌曲，而且歌詞很陌生，對我來說十分困難，所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播，有七十萬人觀看，想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎，當宣佈我的名字時，極度開心，無人能想到，唱出真香港的歌曲，是由一個西方人唱出，可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和，超乎現實，簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選，是別人給我的，練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的，機會不多，只能扮演一些無關重要的角色，但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片，因為胃酸倒流，把聲帶灼傷，使我聲音變得沙啞，這件事使我非常懊惱，因為辛苦練習多年，卻發生了這個問題，後來我矯正了唱歌方法，問題得以改善，可以繼續唱歌，現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ，現在我為一個港台節目做旁白，是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難，因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方，看電視或電影，也是會看自己的種族，未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作，做一個節目，然後在網上發放，是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住，有些人的中文比我好，他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人，是要做香港人做的事，吃香港人吃的食物，關心香港，不看膚色，希望他們也能說廣東話，最重要是覺得香港是自己的家，這便是真正的香港人。

I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.

EDIT: 我個人認為，此一題問似乎高估了中國對蔡總統勝選──臺灣人民以自由意志所選出的總統──的影響。不可否認，中國對臺灣的行動已與日俱增，但問題的設定似乎過分強調中國這一因素，而輕忽了臺灣人民的努力。大約40秒的問句只要加一句 "The people of Taiwan have won a great democratic victory tonight" 我就認為完全妥當。這是我的個人觀點。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

…I am not qualified to answer this question for the President, but I would like to express my opinion.

…我沒有資格代表總統回答這個問題，但我想表達對這個問題的看法。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

The people of Taiwan do not have General Secretary Xi Jinping to "thank" for this democratic victory. They have the sacrifices of thousands of democratic reformers and activists around the world to thank for their right to vote and the right to have their voices heard. It is unfortunate that the threats you mentioned are perceived by some as being responsible for tonight's victory.

臺灣的總統並不需要針對此次的民主選舉「感謝」習總書記。總統和全臺灣的人民需要感謝的是全球成千上萬的為了民主而犧牲的改革者，感謝由於他們奮鬥而獲得的投票權與發表自己意見的權利。不幸的是，一些人似乎認為今晚的勝利應歸功於您所提到的這些威脅。

毫無疑問，有些人並不同意我的回應。但是，若您稍加觀察，便可發現我是圍繞著「have…to thank、 對（某人）感謝」來進行回應，並提出個人觀點。在「thank、感謝」周圍加上引號，唸起來就會有特別的語氣，或許能更加凸顯充分理解幽默的部分。 別人用幽默的語氣問我，並不代表我不能以字面上的意涵去作正式的回應，畢竟這是正式的場合。

在長年旅居美國的生活經驗中，隨處都可聽見以雙關作為諷刺性質的幽默（my sarcasm detector is functional）。事實上，從我的回應也不難看出，我認為不恰當的地方乃在於，提問的內容及其所強調者──中國因素。

補充說明 1:

在當場大家都認識這位記者，因為直接稱呼他的名字，總統也對他的評語微笑。但是明顯這種發問的方式造成困擾，不然今天不會那麼多人有共鳴討論此事件。在同時也可以看到旁邊的外媒微笑搖頭，翻譯也高EQ地直接跳過這一句，因此這樣的幽默在這樣正式的場合並不是那麼恰當。

From the video, it's clear that the President and her staff know Mr. Sudworth on a first name basis. The interpreter most likely skipped the question to avoid controversy, and you can see an adjacent reporter shaking his head while smiling. Whether "humor" was appropriate for such a context is for you to decide.

在國際場合英文的使用不限制於一個區域的觀眾，並且這個「英式幽默的」問題並非只是一個無傷大雅朋友之間的玩笑，而是在測探回答者的智慧。個人覺得翻譯和總統的回應都非常專業，只是覺得發問者的問題格外犀利但或許這就是他的本意吧。

This discussion here extends beyond just language interpretation/translation and understanding word denotation and connotation. To dismiss criticisms as "not understanding humor" is simply ignoring the social, political, and cultural contexts in which language is used. The question was specifically framed to highlight China's influence and prod President Tsai for more insight. I personally find it to be caustic and not entirely suited for the topic: the democratic victory of the Taiwanese people. I regret not including this and more background information in the original post.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

補充說明2:

英國《BBC》的記者提問蔡英文，拿下歷史最高票「會不會和習近平說聲謝謝」，蔡英文瞬間笑了，但女翻譯愣2秒的反應卻成為焦點。

https://www.setn.com/news.aspx?NewsID=670861

《BBC》記者表示，蔡英文的勝選帶有政治諷刺意味。如果中國共產黨沒有對台灣施壓、對香港危機的態度難以捉摸，台灣候選人的勝利之路可能就不會那麼確定。「結果宣布後，我問蔡英文，她是否有為她的勝利感謝中國國家主席習近平。她笑了。」

https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/3037675

After the result was announced I asked Tsai Ing-wen whether she had the Chinese President Xi Jinping to thank for her victory.

She smiled.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51077553

英國廣播公司BBC特派記者約翰薩沃斯，在11日的記者會第一個獲得發問機會，特別問到蔡英文會不會感謝習近平，蔡英文沒有正面回答，只以微笑來回應。德國之聲DW台北特派記者江穎怡也報導，「很多台灣人認為（中國鎮壓）香港證明了一國兩制的失敗。」

https://news.pts.org.tw/article/462512

不過，現場卻發生一段小插曲。一直關心中國民主人權問題的BBC記者沙磊（John Sudworth），是記者會上首名提問的記者。他先是恭喜蔡英文當選，之後提到，幾個月前蔡的民調仍然不穩，但中共對台的威脅加上香港反送中運動，是外界認為本次大選獲勝原因，他詢問蔡英文：「你會不會為了這次勝利，向習近平道謝？」

https://hk.news.appledaily.com/china/realtime/article/20200112/60476407

Some claim that the literal translation of 「道謝」by the press was improper. I am not a professional translator by any means, but a literal translation might be provided because it is immensely difficult to get across the full intent of the speaker with a few lines of text. Just the phrase "thank you" could be interpreted in diverse ways in discourse analysis. Interpretation and translation of speech require consideration of stress, body language, and social contexts. If the reporters above provided a connotative translation, the language used would be subjective as it would directly reflect what the translator believes to be the speaker's intentional meaning. Thus, a full video of the press conference was included in nearly every one of the reports to provide readers with additional context. Journalists also have pragmatic concerns (reach, readership), so the language used has to be specific, emphatic, and concise. These reasons might offer some insight on why「道謝」was used instead of a connotative translation.

Hainanese Chicken Rice is a dish of Chinese origin, served in many asian countries: Malaysia・Indonesia (Nasi ayam Hainan), Singapore, Thailand (ข้าวมันไก่ Khao man kai), Philippines, Vietnam (Cơm Gà), Cambodia, etc...

This recipe, using a rice cooker, is by Chef Shigeyoshi Toyoshima who won a grand prize at Chef's quick and easy recipe contest. I was one of the 3 judges at the contest (those who follow my Facebook page know that).
http://www.chefgohan.com/contest/5/

Why I chose his recipe is because it was easy using a rice cooker. Also, all the ingredients he used are pretty much available at Japanese households.

BTW, for those who live in Tokyo, if you get a chance to visit his restaurant, please say you watched this video. The chef will offer you some free prawn crackers :)

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 60 min
Number of servings: 2-3

Ingredients:
250g (8.8oz.) chicken thigh (with skin)
1 tsp. cooking oil
salt and cracked black pepper
2 cups (300g=10.5oz.) uncooked rice
400ml water
A
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. consomme powder
* 1/4 tsp. pepper
((Red Sauce))
* 2 tbsp. ketchup
* 1/2 tsp. chili powder
* 1 tsp. vinegar
((Brown Sauce))
* 2 tsp. Miso
* 2 tsp. oyster sauce
* 2 tsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. sesame oil
((Fragrant Sauce))
* 5g (0.17oz.) minced garlic
* 10g (0.35oz.) minced ginger
* 40g (1.4oz.) minced onion
* 2 tsp. cooking oil
shredded cabbage, lettuce, tomato, etc...

Directions:
1. Wash rice and drain in a strainer.
2. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan. Place the chicken skin-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side. Press the chicken with a spatula to cook it evenly. (It doesn't have to be cooked through.)
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and add water. Place the rice, A, and the water in a rice cooker and mix well. Place sliced chicken on top of the rice and start cooking.
5. While cooking the rice, make the sauces. As for the Red Sauce and the Brown Sauce, mix the ingredients very well. As for the Fragrant Sauce, place the ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook until tender (make sure you don't brown them).
6. When it's done, don't open and leave it for about 10 minutes to blend the flavor. Then remove the chicken and toss the rice lightly with a rice paddle. *Some rice cookers like mine include steaming time, thus you can toss the rice immediately.
7. Pile the rice on a dish, place the chicken on top, and garnish with some vegetables of your choice. Serve with the sauces.

Karaage (also called Tatsutaage) is Japanese fried chicken. It is usually cooked for lunch, dinner, or bento. Also, it is the best party recipe favored by most people!

I won this "Cookper Microwave Karaage Tray" at the sweepstakes, so I tried it out :)

Wavy tray catches excess oil, so the Karaage will turn out crisp.
The silicon paper will avoid Karaage from sticking.

I hope you can find it online or at a Japanese grocery store~ OR please get it when you come to Japan :)
