Broken by design

re: "Covid-19 exposes our broken system" (BP, Opinion, April 23, 2020)


Dear editor,

Well said as always Khun Sanitsuda Ekachai: "Covid-19 exposes our broken system" (Bangkok Post, Opinion, April 23) is honest, incisive, and timely. But it would be contrary to reason and the mounting decades of evidence to have expected anything but a grievously battered, broken society after the acts of the current prime minister, who himself  follows a long line of equally selfless army generals who overthrew Thailand's supreme rule law to make themselves supremo PM generals.

The daily news regularly reports how the self-styled sacred in Thailand have long set the standard of rejecting Buddhist and other spiritual teachings, have long set the example of  treating the Thai nation as their purse or punching bag, and of smearing those institutions upon whom they insist on associating themselves.
