» Re: ''Give our kids a better deal'' (BP, Editorial, Jan 13). As today is Children's Day, it must have been coincidental that the Bangkok Post's editorial highlighted the fact that a third of Thailand's 15 million youths are failing through the cracks.
Uproar over slap... then nothing

» That Sirichai Maichum, the security officer at Suvarnabhumi Airport who got his ears smacked by a high-ranking customs official till an ear drum ruptured, is distraught and worried about his career and his own safety after the assault, should have been a big slap in the face of Thai society.

They would say there is no need for an amendment, and that it definitely should not be abolished. I have no proof for this claim; it is merely an opinion, though I would like to see it put to the test just for fun.
India's year of living stagnantly
News, Jaswant Singh, Published on 29/01/2012
» Will 2012 prove to be a year of renewal for India, or another annus horribilis? No country progresses unerringly, but India cannot afford another politically and economically torpid year like 2011. For India, last year is a year best forgotten.
