'Sacred' traditions

re: "Stadium debacle leaves bad taste" (BP, Editorial, March 29, 2020)


Dear editor,

The Bangkok Post is being impertinent to the Thai institution that is by its own admission sacred. The sacred does not apologize to the mundane. The sacred holds itself bound to no law save its own fancies. The sacred does not sacrifice; it demands sacrifice.

The Royal Thai Army is living up to its sacred traditions. The nation may burn, but the sacred will look after the sacred as it has ever done.

Perhaps Thailand would be the healthier for a good dose of the earthily profane.

 Felix Qui
