re: "Future Forward forges ahead with charter changes" (BP, June 8)
Dear editor,
In the face of the ruling traditionalists who abhor just law, Future Forward's proposed charter reforms to move their nation forward as the Thai people want will fail, but at least they are getting important issues into public debate; that in itself is good.
It might yet turn out for the best that Thailand has a chance to hit rock bottom under the rule of law of the self-serving politicians who hold the nation and its institutions, especially its highest institution of law, in contempt: that contempt for Thailand's institutions is, after all, what it means to stage a coup.
More Thais are waking up to the ugly reality of much traditional Thainess, and Future Forward is helping that process with its savvy moves to highlight the bad old traditions of the bad old men serving only themselves.
