Latest draft securities law still has problems (16-09-2005) HA NOI — The fourth draft of the Securities Law still has obstacles that could hinder the development of the country's stock market, according to the Viet Nam Association of Financial Investors (VAFI). VAFI, late last week, made recommendations on the Securities Law, which was drafted by the State Securities Commission of Viet Nam (SSC). VAFI general secretary Nguyen Hoang Hai said the draft law still contains unnecessary licences, however, Hai said that VAFI will officially submit a list of the unnecessary licences to the SSC. Hai said VAFI made the recommendation as it was concerned that unnecessary regulations in the draft law will drive enterprises away from listing on the bourse due to excessive administrative procedures. Investors also fear putting money into the market in a country that has no legal framework to protect them. VAFI pointed out the irrationality of a draft law that required unlisted firms, which … [Read more...] about Latest draft securities law still has problems

Thailand passes tough security law to control protest
Thailand's government passed a security law on August 25 that clears the way for the military to be brought in to control a planned rally by supporters of fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra. The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) plan to demonstrate on Sunday outside Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's office, calling for his resignation. A three-week occupation of the premier's office in April sparked Thailand's worst street violence in 17 years, forcing Abhisit to call a state of emergency and stoking concerns over the stability of Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy. If Sunday's protests become unruly, the new law allows Abhisit and the military to move quickly without declaring a state of emergency. It also allows for more stringent checkpoints around the prime minister's office ahead of the protest. Abhisit said he imposed the temporary law, which takes effect from August 29 to September 1, after receiving intelligence that trouble-makers … [Read more...] about Thailand passes tough security law to control protest
