PM and issue of probity

Postbag

You have chosen to include a number of letters in Postbag condemning the Democrats for sullying Yingluck Shinawatra's reputation as a woman. Yet your concurrent article, ''Tis not the season to be jolly for Yingluck'' (BP, Opinion, Feb 20) states precisely why so much more than her gender is involved. Perhaps readers don't care about such apparent ''conflicts of interest'', or feel _ as do most poor people all over the world _ that such ambiguities don't matter so long as a government delivers.

But conflicts of interest do matter, enormously, as history has proven over and over again.

Interesting note from True. So how come the service interruptions are usually pre-announced as ‘network improvements’, and how come the service is often in fact worse after one of these scheduled maintenance windows?

Fred , you are entirely right but this is Thailand, where most of the people stupidly accept and tolerate corruption....This is also the government set up by the Great Fugitive...so, nothing normal applies here, no morale, no checks or balances, just the support of the red mob....
