FINE ARTS AND CREATIVE WORKS INSIDE A KINGDOM
By: Iris P. Concepcion
I, a writer with subpar telepathy, visited Malaysia once again and was educated, instead, on Thailand's history with the caption: The Creative King.
King, here, of course refers to His Majesty Bhumibul Adulyadej, born on the 5th day of December, 1927 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. One of his strongest credentials, personally, is his holding of several patents for several engineering innovations the products of which were included in the posters featuring his Royal Highness.
It bears writing how he is portrayed in this creative campaign, the gist of which I am copying herewith for propagation. A good seed begets a bigger seed that thus begets the biggest seed. To capitulate:
The Creative King:
Brand Leadership with Pride and Thai Wisdom, Intellectual Property in the Royal Cipher: Trademarks.
Innovations and Inventions: Intellectual Property in the Royal Cipher: Patents.
Fine Arts and Creative Works Intellectual Property in the Royal Cipher: Copyrights.
I am copying herewith, in toto, (a word created by a mind who knows nothing else but precision) the article with the prayer that I shall not be held responsible for intellectual theft.
"His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is a Renaissance Man. His culture interests are numerous and diverse. His artistic talents fully qualify him as Akhara Sinlapin (supreme artist). His works of art range over several mediums, created with his own hands and executed over a long period to the acclaim of artists and art connoisseurs, both Thai and international. His expertise has been outstanding in music, painting, sculpture, photography, literature and languages. All the fine arts and creative works coming from the Sovereign Lord form an invaluable body of intellectual property, compassionately bestowed as part of the artistic heritage of his subjects.
His majesty the King graciously assigned Royal representations to file four copyright applications of his literary and artistic works.
1. Writing of New Theory
2. Writing of Royal Initiative for the New Theory Project
3. Writing of The Story of Mahajanaka
4. Sculpture of Mahajanaka Medal
Copyrights in the Royal Cipher occuring instantly upon completion of His Majesty's writings or composition include the following:
1. Royal Photography
2. Royal Paintings
3. Royal Sculpture that includes the Buddha image in the posture of giving blessing, the Royal privare Buddha Votive Tablets, Buddha image in the pasture of subduing Mara."
His body of works include His Royal writings and the best resume booster thus far: he has created a total of 48 melodies and 79 songs.
His Majesty The King has likewise graciously assigned Royal representatives to file registration applications of trademarks and service marks under company limited entities, including Mongkhol Chaipattara Company, Ltd. and Suvarnachad Company, Ltd. which were established under his guidance.
His economic thrust is finely worded: "Sufficiency Economy" which encourages an economic agenda guided by moderation instead of the pursuit of overconsumption in order to help people become more immune to systematic global shocks. His long-term vision includes ideas "that have frequently proven prescient." He likewise engages himself in numerous "fireside chats" that are listened to by millions and serve to inspire the people to work for the benefit of each other.
The King is also famous for making his own maps and personally undertaking surveys for development work.
On a personal note, this creative environment of creative people had done the world a chance to become visionaries instead of mere dreamers.
My personal thanks to the fishermen in the remotest village who had epiphanied a satellite of designs, the manufacturers of the sweetest smell of sugarcane produce freshly grinded, the medical practitioners who had given shots for a polio-free community, those who had created Disneyland and Oscar the Grouch, the farmers who had aspired to plant not only medium but the largest lettuce in the century.
Let us give thanks to our Tatays, Dads, Papas and their industrious wives who had all helped them in these consequential quests for, well, a world upgrade.
