Traffic police change tactics
News, Published on 01/09/2012
» A new policy of leniency towards drivers committing minor traffic offences comes into action today in all nine of the capital's metropolitan police divisions with warning tickets replacing fines for first-time offenders. Although these citations carry no penalties, the names of wrongdoers will be entered into a traffic police database which will flag an alert if they are ever stopped for committing a similar offence. If, or more likely, when, that happens, leniency for that particular driver will be at an end and the full force of the law applied. That would also be a good time to introduce compulsory driver re-education programmes for repeat offenders.

Bank sector needs trust (and scepticism)
News, Prasarn Trairatvorakul, Published on 27/04/2012
» Trust is the cornerstone of the financial industry. But it should also be added that trust alone is not enough. We also need to have a good dose of healthy scepticism. The reason for this is that we must avoid, on the one hand, overly trusting market mechanisms or, on the other hand, overly trusting in regulation. This is because of the rapid changes in the financial system and how risk is transmitted.
