Which PM you are referring to; the past, the present or the past before the past PM – med142? However you are right bus drivers and all other normal citizen should get protection; the job of the police I assume.

one must recognise that the level of dysfunctional families population is growing and has resulted in young growing out of control. The government should help first to look at long term solution otherwise all this statistic will only be academic. Social problem cannot be resolved from just the school, law enforcement,government or parenting alone. Together with the Government, is urge to take a holistic view to curb both short term and long term issue to allow Thai children growing up in a conducive environment and be ready for the adulthood society.

These students who are involved in such violent acts should pay the consequences. They are old enough to know better. They are just thugs. The one who killed the bus driver should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But then their is an MP who has set a very good example by hiding behined his status as an MP and that it is ok to do this sort of thing. These MP's make a mockery of the judicial system. MP'S should be role models and set an example. But then which MP is a role model that the young people can look upto?
These bus drivers should be given protection and also be able to take what action is necessary to protect the passengers on the bus, even if means running down these thugs who endanger peoples lives.
