» Your recent report on the haze in northern Thailand says that 90% of the thousands of hot spots were started by people, but figure should be 100%. Places like Australia and California have wild fires. Tropical countries do not. Why doesn't Malaysia have them? Or tropical Northern Australia, even? And if 90% were caused by arson, which in Australia means up to 20 years in jail if they cause death and destruction, how many people are now in Thai jails convicted of arson?

» In his Sept 8 letter Songdej Praditsmanon writes that student Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal "was already condemned by fair-minded individuals and cursed by many alumni" but what he doesn't explain is why. To some of us simple minded non-Chula graduates it appears that Mr Netiwit has clearly understood the message from King Rama V given in 1873 when he expressed "the necessity of rebuilding a more equal relationship between different groups in society". What isn't apparent is that the administrators running the university have understood this message and taken steps to advance these opinions.
