If the outcome of the referendum was not upheld, he threatened in the pages of the Thai newspaper The Nation, he would mobilise an army of a hundred teenagers around the world to wreak havoc in Indonesia.

The database, being planned by the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust, will help researchers discover important disease-causing genes. The scheme will be different from the one that has caused controversy in Iceland. There, DNA and medical records of the entire population have been included in a database held by a single company, DeCode Genetics of Reykjavik. In Britain, samples will only be included if their donors consent, and the database will be open to all researchers.
