    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.

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.

    Time to lift rights bans

    News, Editorial, Published on 17/09/2018

    » The best thing that can be said about last week's action by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) is that the all-male group understands it has created a problem. It has returned to the public a tiny bit of the civil and human rights it removed 52 months ago. On Friday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha used his extraordinary powers under Section 44 to give some small but important freedoms to political parties. While the order restores the right to organise party affairs, it falls lamentably short of restoring basic and constitutional rights to all Thais.
