re: "Time for Prayut to show his integrity" (Editorial, December 16)
Dear editor,
The Bangkok Post might feel that former army general Prayut Chan-o-cha, long reborn as prime minister, "is obliged to observe political etiquette and ensure fairness in the game"; the reality is manifestly otherwise: the only thing that the self-made politician feels obliged to do is whatever he himself wants to do. That is, after all, why he joined that long line of self-promoting Thai political animals who jumped from being members of Thailand's costly army of politicking army generals to self-elected supremo politicians without the inconvenience of civil election or other such respect for political decency. As the Bible's Jeremiah (13:23) long ago realized, the leopard cannot change his spots.
