The regime promised a reform of virtually everything when it rose to power in May three years ago. But a quick scan of what we have today show that it has made very little progress. The Xaysana case has confirmed how the drugs trade has flourished with the help of the country's privileged and famous. With a photo allegedly showing the suspected drug kingpin with Thai police going viral, there's little hope that authorities will be able to stem the regional drugs flow anytime soon. One can't help but wondering if national reconciliation can be forged on a piece of paper, why it hasn't been achieved after all these years?
