re: "Time of Lunlabelle's death crucial to investigation" (BP, September 24, 2019)
Dear editor,
Might I suggest a solution to the grave problem interfering with the police investigation into the unhappy death by alcohol of product presenter Lunlabelle?
Since they are so extraordinarily useful in preventing and helping to solve such crimes where foreigners are concerned, it is obvious that the TM30 procedures must be extended to the native Thai citizens, who surely deserve the same level of protection afforded to alien visitors.
If Lunlabelle, to use the topical example, had been duly having her TM30s filled in by her various landlords, landladies, landlads, and other overnight renters as might apply, the jurisdictional problems could be resolved by granting the case to the police station in the area covered by the latest TM30. Could anything be simpler? Could the good citizens of Thailand deserve any less consideration?
The subsequent elimination of terrorism and other crimes by the natives would be a collateral benefit to be enjoyed by the grateful Thai nation.

In the version published by the Post, the first sentence has been edited to read, "the unhappy death of alcohol product presenter Lunlabelle," but it would have been better to retain my original text. As the subsequent comments on this story show, some of the Bangkok Post's readers were unaware that people overdose on the drug alcohol.
