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.

» Re: "It's not just about FFP", (PostBag, March 12). Khun Piya Samyan defends the Constitutional Court dissolving the Future Forward Party, because "it did violate the law regarding acquisition of income".

Thank you, 'Mali San'
News, Postbag, Published on 24/08/2019
» We Thais owe many, many thanks to "Mali-San" or Ms Megumi Morimoto, 46, a freshman at Kasetsart University's Sakolnakorn campus. As shown by the clip on Facebook by Udomsak Nak-chang-in and on television, she's been blocking motorcyclists from illegally riding their bikes on the sidewalk at Rumsalee intersection, thus protecting pedestrians from being run over. She's done this over 100 times. Although local bikers have beaten her up four times, Thai onlookers have rescued her.
