» I wholeheartedly agree that the poor English published on the Ministry of Labour website is an embarrassment. However, the main issue is that the laws governing banned professions for foreigners (aliens) is desperately outdated and in need of a quick and thoughtful revision.

The 1.17-billion-baht leftover budget, which was earlier earmarked to procure tablets for Mathayom 1 students in the North and Northeast, would be shifted and will be complemented by 3 billion baht from the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology.

Subs claim sinks

» Re: “Subs plan tests navy to sink or swim”, (BP, Aug 9) offers a balanced analysis of the Royal Thai Navy’s case for submarines. The RTN’s main “justification” — to make other countries “stand in awe” — is weak. We already have the region’s second-largest naval force, behind Indonesia and ahead of Vietnam, yet with no conflict in sight. So, who are we going to stare down?
