A lasting charter is vital
News, Published on 17/04/2012
» To me, Thaksin Shinawatra wants to change the constitution because he believes that since he's been repeatedly backed by a landslide election, what he wants must be right, and any discussion of opposing ideas, or a rigorous, impartial system of checks and balances, merely delays implementation of what the majority knows to be right.
Speed up books for kids
News, Published on 15/04/2012
» Regarding ''Suchart backs books for kids'' in yesterday's Bangkok Post, I strongly agree with the Education Ministry's proposal to give children from poor families vouchers to buy books. If it is possible, I would like to see this start in the educational year 2012. I would also like to see it be implemented for kindergarten children, to by picture books and other early educational development aides, rather than wait until they are at the Prathom 1 level.
Cameron made right move in Myanmar
News, Published on 15/04/2012
» British Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to Myanmar on Friday has repeatedly been described as a ''landmark'' event because he is the first leader of a Western state to make the trip in many years, and not surprisingly he made good use of the momentous occasion to make a major announcement. Along with pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Mr Cameron called for the suspension of economic sanctions which have been imposed by the European Union countries and the United States, Canada, Australia as well as a few other countries. The move is no surprise and comes sharply on the heels of the April 1 by-election which gave parliamentary seats to Mrs Suu Kyi and 42 other members of her National League for Democracy in a landslide win for the party.

A positive change for people of Myanmar
Life, Yvonne Bohwongprasert, Published on 12/04/2012
» Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi's historic by-election win is also the "victory of the people". Among these citizens are the brave students and civilians that fled their country in the aftermath of the 1988 failed student uprising for democracy, which was brutally crushed by the military junta's iron-fisted rule. Numerous were killed and injured, while many became refugees in neighbouring Thailand.
