Corn waste to blame

» The haze is already upon us, but where does it come from? In Chiang Mai, most point to forest fires, but as the valleys fill with haze with not a forest fire in sight, there must be another source. What is that? Small farmers burning their corn field waste before the burning ban arrives.

» The mall operators are the same moguls who want to help the government. It is the right time for the government to think and act in new ways as Thai society passes through the turmoil caused by Covid-19. Starting next month, the focus should be on four key issues, not on opening the malls. They are: How to prevent the current stage of the virus from reaching a next-stage outbreak; how to help poor people affected by the Covid crisis; how to reform immigration laws to attract foreign investment and prevent our image from deteriorating; and how to reform education and integrate online learning at all levels. Surprisingly, online businesses are thriving, hence malls can wait. It is high time to bring structural reforms in commerce, immigration and education.
