This is another tragic news about the former South Korean president and Nobel Peace Prize receipient, Kim Dae Jung had passed away at the age of 85. He had been under treatment for pneumonia since July 13, died of “heart failure caused by internal organ dysfunctions
Kim Dae Jung was the president from 1998 till 2003. He had done many things for South Korea especially the "Sunshine Policy" which was connectede the two Koreas' borders by roads and railways. He became a symbol of the South Korean struggle for democracy and the dream of reconciliation, and eventual reunification, with North Korea. Moreover, the Nobel Committee awarded him the Peace Prize in 2000, it was in recognition of his struggle as a pro-democracy campaigner as well as his vision in overcoming five decades of mistrust and hostility to engineer the Korean summit meeting. In addition, he was often praised by his Western supporters as the “Nelson Mandela" of Asia,” although Mr. Kim had a more checkered reputation among his own people.
I feel sad after I finished read this news. In my opinion, I think Mr. Kim is one of the greatest South Korea president because he brought peace to his country. So ,I hope that Thailand would have one president like Mr. Kim who would bring peace and happiness back to Thailand like we used to have in the past. Since Thailand today is so discordant with many shirt groups such as Red shirt, Yellow shirt and Colourful shirt.
