BANGKOK — Chulalongkorn University on Monday acknowledged toning down a statement which had previously condemned a lecturer for putting a student in a headlock last month.

 

Saying the statement hadn’t been properly vetted, officials said stronger language about the “shameful” actions of Ruengwit Bunjongrat, a professor and administrator, was removed after it was originally published.

They should have added that it had nothing to do with growing ultra-nationalism among lecturers, staff nor administrators. To make sure this 'toning down' is not misinterpreted...

Nothing to do with arse covering, is it? 

 

Halfwit Ruengwit, should be charged with assault, instead a thug being glamourised in the disguise of a lecturer.

Man handle my kid for no good reason, he would be singing castrato in the boys choir.

So this grandiose institution of higher learning condones its faculty to use violence against its students ?  Or is this all one big misunderstanding ?

Of course it is!  Thailand is the hub of misunderstandings.

Has anybody else noted this " growing ultra-nationalism among lecturers, staff nor administrators." ?
