» Among the myriad of implications over Chadchart Sittipunt's thumping triumph in Bangkok's gubernatorial election last Sunday is the restoration of Thailand's self-confidence and Thais' sense of belief that tomorrow will be better than today. After years of political decay and entrenching economic stagnation stemming from societal divisions, Mr Chadchart brings into office what has been described as a "rainbow" coalition made up of people from different walks of life and political party lines, transcending the progressive and conservative sides of the political divide.

Is President Vladimir Putin really attempting to rebuild the Russian Empire?

» Emerging a little over a year-and-half ago, Covid-19 has been a collective shock on the human psyche. It has redefined how we live and view the future and although the crisis was largely unexpected, the same can't be said of climate change. Scientists have been trying to warn us for decades and recommended measures to cut down emissions before it is too late. It is such a pity that policymakers rarely paid attention until recently.
