» Re: "Bill on media council gets cabinet nod," (BP, Jan 13). When we read in "Bill on media council gets cabinet nod" that "the exercise of media freedoms must not infringe on social mores", all who value good public morals will be deeply concerned. This must be so since being a social mores never has and cannot of itself guarantee that any belief, custom, or attitude is morally good.

» 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.

» It was disappointing to read "Single-ticket Bangkok public transport pushed back to 2020", (BP, June 16). Bangkok has a mostly functional, and rapidly expanding, public transport system, yet it lags so very far behind other large cities in the implementation of very basic technology to allow passengers to use one card (or device) to travel on the entire network.
