    Virus crisis reveals skeletons in our closet

    Oped, Surasak Glahan, Published on 16/04/2020

    » It was a desperate call for help. About 100 people gathered at the Finance Ministry on Tuesday and demanded the minister tell them why they were denied the 5,000-baht cash handout the government has granted to informal workers.

    Another poll, another missed opportunity

    News, Surasak Glahan, Published on 28/03/2019

    Shifting beyond CSR to some real good deeds

    News, Surasak Glahan, Published on 20/10/2016

    » Let's be honest. Many of us can work from home (and want to do it), instead of wasting time and fuel driving to work. If only our employers let it happen.
