    Puey's passage stirs up old questions, issues

    News, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 11/03/2016

This week marks the centennial of his life, with an outpouring of tributes and adulations around campuses and offices and in the minds of many. The questions and issues that preoccupied him in his prime throughout the 1950s-70s are still at the heart of what ails Thai society today.
