Parroting lies

» Re: "Rising heat needs urgent response", (Opinion, Nov 24). After repeating the obligatory but egregiously false lie that this year was the hottest on record, the UN climate alarmists claim, "By 2060, under a high-emissions scenario, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mongolia, Myanmar, Turkey and Uzbekistan could lose more than 70% of their glacier mass. These phenomena also add to sea-level rise, raising existential risks for some countries in the Pacific."

» Re: "Buy now, bankrupt later", (Business, Sept 1). Little is ever said about the so-called many (often SET-listed) prolific finance companies here, which charge very high interest rates, levy late fees very quickly, and impose other strict rules that are often, may we say, not very consumer-finance friendly.

Worst is confirmed
Oped, Postbag, Published on 12/08/2020
» With the greatest respect to Atiya Achakulwisut, whose intelligent and courageous opinion pieces are an object lesson in excellent reporting, I cannot agree with her statement in today's column that "the Red Bull case has shattered the reputation of the Royal Thai Police..." . In fact it seems to me that the opposite is true. The case has confirmed the well-deserved appalling reputation of Thailand's out-of-control police force, diligently earned through decades of corrupt practices, criminality, incompetence and complacency.
