» Re: "FFP must clarify", (PostBag, June 25).

» Re: "Coups not the answer", (PostBag, May 23). I fully agree with Felix Qui that coups are not the solution to Thailand's political maladies and government corruption. I also agree that Thaksin Shinawatra was highly successful in garnering the support of poorer segments of society, largely because he was the first politician to give marginalised Thais any attention, however meagre.

She said it was because of her skin colour and some "smart" schools wanted her photographs to be sent so that they would know who she was, an African.
