re: "Senate post for PM brother not a problem, says Prawit" (BP, May 11)
Dear editor,
Having kept careful watch over such matters, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon is of course perfectly correct that "the younger brother of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha ... has experience as a lawmaker."
To give such people from Thailand's vast army of army generals experience as lawmakers was, after all, the obvious purpose of the latest coup by army generals eager to serve as politicians. How else could such people aspiring to high political office become politicians? Are they expected to run for election like any civil politician bound by a constitutional rule of law to at least make a show of respect for the nation, its institutions and people?
