    » There would be astounding double irony if the giant technology firm Apple can help to put a stop to one of the most pernicious and blatant problems of human trafficking in Thailand.

    » Eight years ago yesterday, Islamic insurgents launched a surprise raid on an armoury in Narathiwat and stole 413 firearms, most of them M16 assault rifles. That daring raid on Jan 4, 2004 marked the start of a renewed insurgency by a new breed of hardcore militants which, sadly, has dragged on till today with no sign of abating, whether in terms of intensity or ruthlessness.

    The "C" word

    Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 03/02/2012

    » Upon hearing Twitter's decision to censor content deemed offensive in certain countries, the Thai government no doubt produced a collective moan of delight suitable for an illegal porn film. So much so that the Land of -------- became the first nation to publicly endorse the micro-blogging site's policy of blocking tweets that may violate local laws. Wow, the last time we were that quick to react to something was when we heard there was a sale going on.

Here in Asia, one wouldn't be so foolish as to let something as abstract as ethics get in the way of business opportunities.
