Army in denial
News, Postbag, Published on 12/10/2020

Oped, Postbag, Published on 20/06/2020
» I fully agree with Chartchai Parasuk in his June 18 article that "Thai Airways will require 100 billion baht to make up for past and future losses. Without an initial cash bailout, it is almost pointless to discuss business restructuring.
Systemic abuse
News, Postbag, Published on 25/05/2020
» My impression is the main purpose of the education system is to make students as submissive as possible. If that is true, and I believe it is, abusive adults are going to have a field day. Not just sexual abuse, which is the worst form, of course, but verbal and physical abuse too.
