re: "Senators hiring kin deemed 'legal'" (BP, June 21, 2022)
Dear editor,
He might well be right about the strict legality according to Thai law made up for that purpose. In his glorious defence of traditional, systemic Thai nepotism, however, Senate Speaker (who else?) Pornpetch Wichitcholchai goes much further, insisting that "if hiring cousins broke no law, it would also not violate moral ethics either."
How, after all, could anything that strictly follows law created with intent to pervert justice be less than morally perfect? This is regrettable because it publicly exposes the moral values of such model Thais in all of their ethically stunted reality.
