Speaking bluntly

re: "Beware of boredom" (BP, PostBag, March 30, 2023) 

Dear editor,

Whilst not entirely disagreeing with David Brown's concerns, to be fair, if the Bangkok Post continues to publish stories on the same issues, it is not unreasonable that the same responses be made. Since, for example, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's government persists, in strict accord with bad law made up with such intent, in unjustly arresting and imprisoning Thais for peacefully expressing honest, healthy opinions, there is a call for Burin Kantabutra to repeat his accurate observation that on one occasion His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej the Great truly did ever so mildly voice some gentle objections to the injustice being perpetrated in his name by that Thai criminal law. 

Any benevolent and righteous person, as Mr Kantabutra's regular contributions clearly prove him to be, would speak out bluntly and regularly against such legalized abuse, would they not?
