Unacceptable attitude
News, Postbag, Published on 30/07/2019
» Re: "Politics returns to childish ways", (Opinion, July 29). I agree with Veera Prateepchaikul that the joint sitting of the Lower House and the Senate during the debate over the government's policy statement last week was spiritless and extremely boring as most MPs -- young and old -- displayed unacceptable behaviour.
Open your eyes

» Re: "FFP must clarify", (PostBag, June 25). Does Vint Chavala seriously believe, or believe that anyone else believes, that Thailand needs the amazing excess of army generals living high off the nation? For what, exactly? The most conspicuous achievement of that extraordinary number of army generals has for many decades been to protect the existence of generals busily plotting political careers allied to unusual wealth, which many suspect to be the primary reason Thailand has been so afflicted by military coups against its form of democratic government with a constitutional monarchy.

» The current impasse with Thai politics in selecting a prime minister might never be resolved due to the problems with the rules as stipulated in the 2017 charter. Obviously, the rules were inadequate because there is no readily available solution.
Democratic justice
News, Postbag, Published on 13/04/2019
» I wish to thank the 12 diplomats and their respective democratic countries for finally supporting the Thai people. Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai's comment, "It's an intervention in our justice system" is a joke. Without a truly democratically elected government there is no justice.

» I fear that Thai politics is again coming to a head, with a high potential for violence -- which we should have learned solves nothing in the long run.
Army always rules

» Re: "Old guard can't halt the turning tide", (Opinion, April 6). Wasant Techawongtham argues succinctly that Thai elites won't be more successful than King Canute in turning back a potential and youthful democratic wave.
