Fiery lessons not learnt

» When seeing a catastrophic fire of a London high-rise building in a country where safety is supposedly of paramount importance (BP, June 15), one wonders how long it will be before Thailand, where it seems safety is of a lesser importance, experience a high-rise fire of similar magnitude? Where fire appliances cannot not reach the upper floors. No fire alarms or fire doors. No smoke detectors and no sprinklers. I hope such a tragedy never happens.

» The Spectrum article, "Enforcing the law in the wild" (July 24) focuses on an important, ongoing effort to curb SE Asia's illegal wildlife trade, namely the Asean Wildlife Enforcement Network (Asean-wen). My organisation and I have closely observed and supported the growth of this network since its birth 10 years ago, although we did not staff its secretariat as the article states. The article does rightly point out that Asean-wen's Bangkok-based secretariat weakened in the past years, leaving many concerned.
