It's hat's off to Melania and Zorro

» There has been plenty of heavy stuff coming out of the White House this week, or as the BBC put it "Trump comes out swinging.'' For the sake of harmony PostScript will stick to the lighter side of what has been a most extraordinary week.
Cops in need of kid gloves
News, Editorial, Published on 09/01/2024
» The latest brainchild of national police chief Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol's on lowering the minimum age for criminal responsibility does not bode well for children's rights. While countries around the world, including those in Asean, have tried to improve the rights of children and show leniency to young offenders, the national police chief's idea will move the country in the opposite direction.

Perhaps secretly we would like one of these unidentified flying objects (UFO) to be something a bit more mysterious than simply a common weather balloon. But we haven't quite yet reached the "little green men" stage.
Conjugal confusion

» Re: "Thamanat's fortunes dip", (BP, Dec 29). I see from our "flour" ex-minister Thamanat's asset declaration that he has not one but two wives, evidently living in harmony, as evidenced by their two children. Many men would be most grateful if he'd reveal how he's managed that feat, as my wife insists that Thai laws allow us only one spouse each, with strict punishment for violation.
Just the economy the planet needs
Oped, Renzo Guinto, Published on 18/11/2021
» At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, analysts and pundits spun visions of how the crisis would reshape the global economy. Many heralded the opportunity to transform our financial systems, supply chains, and ways of working. The overall message was that the post-pandemic future would be greener, healthier, and more just.
Take gloves off on fraud
News, Editorial, Published on 27/10/2021
» Reports of counterfeit or substandard medical gloves being sold on the market are not new -- in fact, there were more than a few cases reported last year alone. However, the most recent incident that was picked up by international media -- in which tens of millions of fake, low-quality medical gloves were flagged in the United States -- will not only embarrass the country, but severely harm Thailand's budding glove exports.
