re: "Why Thailand will stay in Third World" (Opinion, January 16)
Dear editor,
Well said Surasak Glahan. As clear as an election lie by dictator politicians is the pre-eminent reason why Thailand has remained socially and politically third world for too many decades. The common element that threads through Thailand's decades of corruptly wasted resources to weave the ugly tapestry of retarded social and political evolution is not the civil politicians, but the regularly repeated interference by self-serving dictator politicians.
It is the dictator politicians who have, decade after decade, set the example of violence as a solution to problems as they obsess with vainglorious show over substance, which is reflected in the failure of Thai education, where mindless uniformity trumps academic ability, with critical thinking, especially about Thai history, society and political issues, being actively demonized.
