» Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha was wise enough to turn over our physical health to the care of doctors at the beginning of the pandemic. Now it seems to me would be a good time for him to turn over our economic health to the economists so they can tell us whether the purchase of these submarines is a worthwhile investment or not. I would especially like to know what the minister of finance thinks about this.

Khun Piya Samyan defends the Constitutional Court dissolving the Future Forward Party, because "it did violate the law regarding acquisition of income". This is about the "rule of law that is equally applied to all". I fully agree with Khun Piya that the law must be applied without fear or favour -- for if not, the government would be weaponising the law to slay its enemies, so to speak.
