Bipartisan Constitution actually possible and even easy
13 Sept 13:10Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Constitution has been repeatedly revised 23 times since 1932, primarily serving partisan interests related to electoral systems and the Senate, rather than the general public.
Partisan constitutional changes create endless political instability; a truly bipartisan charter must prioritize shared values that benefit ordinary citizens.
Achieving consensus involves focusing on fundamental rights like enhancing educational access, ensuring judicial equality for all, and equitable management of national resources.
The enduring failure to resolve cases like the Vorayuth Yoovidhya incident underscores how political divisions overshadow critical issues of justice and public welfare.
Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals
Yesterday 20:34Key points summarised by AI
Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
