    Political storms that will define 2020

    News, Chairith Yonpiam, Published on 04/01/2020

    » The new year has begun with intensifying political confrontation, a consequence of a move to disband the Future Forward Party, which fought back by mobilising street demonstrations. The party's struggle has won substantial support as it is believed that charges against party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit are politically motivated. It is evident that the army under Gen Apirat Kongsompong is paranoid with Mr Thanathorn's move and it should be noted that a growing number of incidents which will raise the political temperature are set to take place this month.

    Political Art Toys

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/07/2021

    » The frustration against the status quo can be expressed in several ways. If you're a hip-hop artist, you can rap and rhyme about it in a viral music video. If you no longer give a damn, you can put a certain uncle on blast in your Facebook post and mention his official page (you know who you are). Even if you're just a bystander, you can't dodge political illustrations and memes on your newsfeed.

    Political karma

    Oped, Postbag, Published on 16/07/2021

    » Re: "A sad, vicious cycle," (Life, July 12). I read this article a few times and it is so true not only in Thailand but in almost every country. I don't see any people who enter politics really working for the good of their country and their people. Most of them work hard for their own benefit and for their own families and close friends only. It is really a sad, vicious cycle.

    Army chief a fearmonger

    News, Editorial, Published on 03/01/2020

    » As the army chief, Gen Apirat Kongsompong should stay out of politics. But he has always found it hard to resist the temptation of spreading or stirring biased and provocative political messages. His latest remark, which suggests possible arms robbery and associated street violence, is as weak and bewildering as ever because it is not accompanied with even a shred of evidence. It also lacks a sense of certainty. What is certain is that it is a disservice to the nation.
