Checks still needed

re: "Cabinet picks to go before King" (BP, September 1, 2023) 

Dear editor,

Smiling quite as exuberantly as former Prime Minister (PM) army general Prayut Chan-o-cha new sprung from committing his coup that overthrew the rule of inconvenient law, newly anointed PM Srettha Thavisin insists of his cabinet choices, that "there was no need to worry about the candidates' ethical conduct, as they were picked based on their qualifications, as required by law." He appears to forget that exactly the same sort of unethical law was instrumental in making him PM against the wishes of the Thai nation.

The leader of the government that the majority of Thai voters did not and do not want has, however, let slip how much himself and his new government value ethical conduct: they deem it an irrelevance to be ignored when unjust law so much better serves their ends, which lusts for power, property and forced shows of obsequious respect apparently know no sufficiency. 

The PM has publicly exposed a cabinet to match what has been committed since May 14, and what yet looms in Thaksin Shinawatra's amazing return as Pheu Thai's poisoned chalice inviting the rash to deeply quaff.
