re: "Parliamentarians' nicknames reflect turbulent times" (BP, December 28, 2019)
Dear editor,
Parliament is a sacred and honourable place, so sacred that even love is deemed unworthy of sullying its pure halls. It is, therefore, most impertinent of the press to apply derogatory nicknames to the noble occupants of that revered institution beloved of the Thai people. That the nicknames are honest, apt and state appropriately mocking truths cannot excuse such rudeness, which is likely in breach of several laws made up to protect that which is officially revered by the Thai nation.
To besmirch parliament's denizens in government, those esteemed pillars of the nation, towards whom public opinion shows universal admiration, is plainly unpatriotic. It is clearly another Illuminati plot that the army chief must rail against before the nation's security is irrevocably breached. If love in a kiss is officially unfit for parliament's august corridors, why would mere truth be deemed worthy of expression?
