Digitisation needed

» Re: "New DES minister urged to prioritise AI", (Business, Sept 23). My son, who completed a BBA, has just joined an MBA programme at a local university. For this, he had to cancel his existing visa from his college and apply for a fresh one through his new university. He reached the immigration office at 8am and was given token 78 for cancellation and 900 for issuance of a new visa. With each applicant's process taking about 10 minutes, he would easily be spending over 12 hours there. The officials work beyond 4.30pm and until 9pm to issue or reject every visa.
Uniting against cyber-scam gangs
Oped, Fuad Adriansyah & David Scott, Published on 11/12/2024
» In recent years, a novel form of criminality has rapidly expanded across Southeast Asia, leaving in its wake a trail of human exploitation, financial harm, and, in many parts of the region, a weakening of the rule of law. Cyber-scam centres, operated by sophisticated transnational organised criminal groups, have emerged as a serious threat to both national and human security across Southeast Asia.

Govt indifference haunts Tak Bai deaths
Oped, Chairith Yonpiam, Published on 02/11/2024
» The Paetongtarn Shinawatra government may be relieved that the Tak Bai lawsuit is over after the case was dismissed by a court following the expiry of the statute of limitations at midnight on Oct 25. But this could restart difficulties in the restive deep South.
No justice for Tak Bai
News, Editorial, Published on 30/10/2024
» The return of a former defendant in the Tak Bai lawsuit who disappeared to let the statute of limitations expire shows the strength of Thailand's culture of impunity.
Short arm of the law
Oped, Editorial, Published on 10/10/2024
» As the expiry of the statute of limitations in the Tak Bai case looms, the ruling Pheu Thai Party has yet to show its willingness to bring those involved to justice -- if only as a gesture of respect for the rule of law. That is upsetting, to say the least.
