Re: "PM pitches Thai, US partnership", (BP, June, 1).
I find it rich that PM Srettha Thavisin and Thai economic players have a glowing, joyous meeting encouraging a strong Thai-USA economic partnership...while at the same time working to dump the US dollar and join the Brics monetary system.
Re: "Current account deficit of $40m reported", (Business, May 31).
It is undeniable the national debt has increased significantly in Thailand and the United States since March 2020.
In the case of the US, the national debt has risen by $11 trillion, reaching a staggering $34.5 trillion.
Experts predict the US national debt will reach 116% of the country's GDP within the next 10 years.
From the perspective of the undergraduate student demographic in Thailand, the current economic climate is widely perceived as a state of "stagflation".
This term refers to a situation characterised by slow economic growth, and high inflation. The prices of consumer goods and services have been steadily rising, while the incomes of many individuals have remained relatively stagnant.
As a result, the younger generation will have to face rising inflation while their minimum income is low. So, saving is not an option, but it is the mandatory way to escape a future financial crisis.
Re: "Trump found guilty in hush money case", (World, June 1).
May I just offer my congratulations to all those involved in Trump's recent "hush money" trial on arriving at a verdict in the face of constant abuse, insult and threats from this grubby little grifter and his legion of adoring "fans".
With his lengthy history of business and personal misconduct, the chickens had to come home to roost some time.
He is desperately running for president for one reason only, and yes, as usual it is all about him.
He wants to avoid prison time in all the other cases that he, his legal team and a lopsided Supreme Court have worked so hard to push back so that he can interfere with the judicial process were he to be elected.
Dear Editor,
Kindly publish my attached poem to greet Her Majesty the Queen on the occasion of her birthday this year.
At the dawn of a new day
Heralding the anniversary of your birth
We your subjects, fairest queen greet you
With blessings of the heavens and the earth
Gift to the kingdom in rarest array
You mark your reign in a benevolent way
Bestowing on your people due care and concern
Gifts of royal design through generosity woven
Blessed thus your life in no small way
Your judgements hold wisdom's sway
Blessing those to whom you bestow
The true value of queenly gifts in radiant glow
May this birthday, fair majesty
Be with infinite joy and happiness' felicity
Director of the Office of International Affairs (On behalf of the Assumption University of Thailand community)
