Moral bubble

It is about time that Vint Chavala stops defending his obvious illogical statements.

People in the West and most other countries in the world would scoff at the suggestion that foreigners are the repositori­es of all evil in society, and that only their own citizens are free from vulgarity.

It is no longer possible to live in a bubble; yet, in his “Vulgarity won’t win” letter, Mr Chavala says: “I aspire for democracy in Thailand, but only in a good, civilised and peaceful manner — and one that has nothing to do with foreign influence or interferen­ce”.

Setting aside all arguments on whether this should be the preferred option or not, the bottom line is that this is not possible in our present modernday global world, where all countries are interconne­cted with one another.
