    News, Published on 19/08/2014

    » From a seldom-mentioned procedure to a prime-time story, the past two weeks have been highly informative on the subject of child surrogacy. The public has become rightly concerned in the wake of several cases which have exposed some very seamy goings on in the world of surrogacy. There is danger, however, that calls for immediate action could wind up harming many innocent people — most of all, the babies.

    Reform the police

    News, Published on 18/08/2014

    » I am happy that Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha is enforcing the rule of law by reining in the mafioso at Suvarnabhumi airport, Hua Hin and Phuket especially, with even a major general and a city councillor being called in. He must now ensure that justice is swift and impartial, not victor’s justice.
