Coalition crumbler

Re: "Thaksin to fight royal insult case, lawyers raise doctored video concerns", (BP, May 30).

Will Thaksin trigger his nuclear option? Withdraw Pheu Thai from the coalition.

Sick of politics

Re: "Thaksin to fight royal insult case, lawyers raise doctored video concerns", (BP, May 30).

Is there such an illness as convenience? Indeed, I have been unable to find such an illness in the medical dictionary. However, this one seems to have inflicted Thaksin at convenient moments since his return from Dubai, especially when justice is calling.

Thaksin's troubles

Re: "Corrections under fire", (BP, Editorial, May 29); "Thaksin to be indicted on lese majeste charge", (BP, May 29).

The Corrections Department might indeed be under fire for apparent double standards regarding the intriguing case of swollen testicles, but that could be nothing compared to what might be coming.

Former prime minister and convict Thaksin Shinawatra has now been indicted for lese majeste.

Will bail be denied as the LM case against Thaksin proceeds? When will he be signed into Bangkok Remand Prison? Or does he feel another life-threatening disease flaring up again? Are his previous accommodations on the Police General Hospital's 14th floor being prepared?

Poll bias

Re: "Too many polls", (InQuote, May 28).

Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai lamented that there are too many pollsters for him to pick which one is believable when asked to comment on the unfavourable findings on his leader and his party from a poll by the King Prajadhipok Institute. One knows for certain that he would believe only in the pollster placing his leader and party in a favourable light.

Mother Trump

Re: "Jury to decide Trump's fate", (World, May 30).

Donald Trump has stated in relation to his current trial, "Mother Teresa could not beat these charges …" This is rather insulting to Mother Teresa.

Donald Trump, accused of rape and has affairs and makes misogynistic comments.

One may see the rewards for their actions in Heaven, the other in Rikers Prison.

Crisis of trust

Re: "Global crises demand unified action", (Opinion, 28 May).

This article by Khun Kavi Chongkittavorn has attracted worthy attention to the most significant diplomatic document to be adopted in September this year by the United Nations Summit of the Future under the title "Pact for the Future."

The priority is to renew people's trust in global institutions by making them more representative of today's world and more effective at delivering on the commitments made.

The question to be asked after the adoption of the "Pact for the Future" is: Can it be fully implemented?
