Re: ''Prasit ordered to retract sexual remarks'', (BP, Nov 28).

What vulgar and ungentlemanly manners from a member of parliament _ and from the government's side!

I also saw, on TV, some female MPs from the ruling Pheu Thai Party who were sitting in the front row giggling merrily when they heard their fellow MP Prasit Chaisrisa verbally abusing opposition Democrat MP Rangsima Rodrassamee.

A slightly vulgar remark but nothing more.

Nandita: I'm happy to hear about your good fortune. I doubt if the driver will read or is able to read the Bangkok Post. I'd like to suggest that you ask the hotel where you stayed to give him a reward, such as an overnight stay at the hotel with breakfast, lunch and dinner with his family for no charge. He will remember that for the rest of his life.

Vint: Please understand that the country is blessed with an abundance of dinosaur politicians. You were watching one of them in action. They were voted in by the people, the majority of whom seem to think that these people are fit to run the country.

As for any investigation being carried out by the Ethics Committee were more than a paper tiger, it would need to increase its work force perhaps one hundred-fold just to keep up.
