Re: “Don’t protect the culprits,” (Editorial, April 15).
This editorial tells us everything there is to say concerning the rotten, corrupt culture among some politicians, the police and military. The three outbreaks of Covid-19 were the result of government mismanagement: the first being the Chinese tourists being allowed into the country despite a warning by medical experts, the second being the scandal of the army boxing stadium and the third being corrupt immigration police allowing the entry of illegal labourers along the Thai-Myanmar border. Now we have a more serious fourth wave because of a politician visiting hi-so Thong Lor pubs.
