» Re: "New narrative needed on getting rich", (Opinion, Jan 17). Paritta Wankiat is obviously being quite provocative with her emphasis that we need to create equal opportunity distribution in Thailand to ensure that the irreverent corrupt forces which become rich can somehow be stymied and Thailand can emerge as a land of free and equal.

» Re: "Thamanat's fortunes dip", (BP, Dec 29). I see from our "flour" ex-minister Thamanat's asset declaration that he has not one but two wives, evidently living in harmony, as evidenced by their two children. Many men would be most grateful if he'd reveal how he's managed that feat, as my wife insists that Thai laws allow us only one spouse each, with strict punishment for violation.

Oped, Postbag, Published on 25/07/2020
» In dropping charges against Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya, the Thai police and the Thai government have once again boldly revealed their corrupt souls. Absent shame or mitigating circumstances they have defined their version of justice, integrity and dictatorial rule by law in this abominable decision.
Why close the parks?
Oped, Postbag, Published on 04/04/2020
» Over the past month, hundreds of people -- especially the elderly -- jogged in Benjakiti Park daily and thousands in Lumpini Park. At this time, it is important for people, especially elderly people, to get lots of sunshine and exercise.
FFP was singled out
Oped, Postbag, Published on 14/03/2020
» Re: "It's not just about FFP", (PostBag, March 12). Khun Piya Samyan defends the Constitutional Court dissolving the Future Forward Party, because "it did violate the law regarding acquisition of income". This is about the "rule of law that is equally applied to all". I fully agree with Khun Piya that the law must be applied without fear or favour -- for if not, the government would be weaponising the law to slay its enemies, so to speak.
