» So, on Jan 8 we had the headline "Gov u-turns on Mor Chana" concerning the tracking device Mor Chana. And "Covid travel permit 'impractical'" concerning interprovincial travel documents. And with many other backtracking moves by those in power, it once again shows that decisions are made without thinking them through.

» Re: “Court to rule on PM’s eligibility”, (BP, July 6). While Jade Donavanik, the former adviser to the Constitution Drafting Committee’s comments that “the Constitutional Court ruling will be binding”, ring true, it is important to remember that such a legal precedent is subject to the caveat that applies to all laws: Merely being legal confers neither rightness nor justice.

» I'm glad that PM Prayut Chan-o-cha is reforming the police at long last, but he shouldn't reinvent the wheel. In 2006, then-prime minister Gen Surayud Chulanont, former army chief and member of our beloved King Rama IX's Privy Council, appointed retired Pol Gen Vasit Dejkunjorn, former chief of police, to head a distinguished commission for this very purpose.

Culprit's ID easy to find

» Regarding mobile phone tracking in connection with the Erawan bombing (BP, Aug 26), we know the approximate time and location of the sender. A little help from the telecom operators would reveal the SIM card and IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of the caller and receiver. It would also allow listening in on the recording to reveal nationalities and finally permit tracing the ring of conspirators. If the culprit was so foolish to have a registered SIM and fail to turn off his GPS it would be all the easier. The police should have tried this earlier and saved on reward money.
