re: "Prudent aid for THAI" (Editorial, BP, May 17, 2021)
Dear editor,
Whatever might have been true of the national flag carrier in some mythic past, the Bangkok Post is correct that "taxpayers' money shouldn't be used to bail out the debt-ridden airline yet again without a serious restructuring plan in place." But neither should the tax payers of Thailand be forced to provide another baht to today's national disgrace unless they are free to investigate, to discover, and to speak the truths about the national shame's failures.
How did the national myth become such a costly failure? What caused such impressive mismanagement? Under whose incompetence was it made a black hole battening on Thai tax payers? Only after Thais can ask and answer such pertinent questions about it should those to whom it owes so much permit a much reformed version of the institution to continue.
