These poor students did poorly in the 'test', why didn't Principal
Chuan flunk them out. Either that or downgrade them to kindergaten (private).
Gov officials, especially soldiers, simply should not publicly
criticize the government. If that's not already binding codes of conduct,
then make sure it is.

I first heard this name 'SiaSong' a couple of day ago in SCT. This is
good since I could say things very objectivly without a preconceived
personal bias against him.

From my brief reading of the news here in SCT, SS seems to be a
very clever man. His remarks about the gov wrong doing in using
the Krungthai bank's money to shore up the market without consulting
the bank's shareholders was very responsible to me.
(He still had the presence of mind to make such a sensible remarks
in the midst of his personal trouble tells me that this is no
ordinary tycoon. Better ask him to be an advisor to PM Chuan.)

I can imagine that there are MANY manipulators like him in the business.
The authority chose to single him out. I'll bet my privilege to post
that this is 90% politics (of jealousy). I bet an influential figure
lost a big sum of money in this stock game and stage a revenge
against him.

Thesedays, everybody is using the King to destroy everybody else.

Using the name 'Apirak Chakri' (Protector of the Chakri Dynasty)
to destroy others with violence without consent of
the King is, to me, one of the most obvious lese majeste. And noone
dare charge these people of lese majeste because they fear they'll
be counter charged with same.

Now he knows how it feels to be kicked out by a coup.

Why don't put the case to the Muslim people to decide? Let'm vote in  
a referendum. This will not only be the most democratic means but
also the most compromised. Poor handling of this 'religious' case 
could result in serious political ramifications.

This well-wisher must have been well-loaded by Singha beers.

When you retire, Venerable Sir, try a comedian career. I think you'll
do very well. (Anybody who can make me laugh is a good comedian.)
