BANGKOK: -- MOM DUSDI Paribatra Na Ayudhya, the mother of Bangkok Governor Mom Rajawongse Sukhumbhand Paribatra, died early yesterday morning at age 91.

She was pronounced dead as a result of old age at Siriraj Hospital at about 3am.

After completing high school at Bangkok's Mater Dei School, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree and a diploma in education from Chulalongkorn University - both with honours.

She initiated a campaign to use picture books when educating children and also wrote an early childhood teacher's handbook and many children's books that featured rhymes and beautiful illustrations to stimulate the imagination and learning.

Her funeral Abhidhamma prayer will be held for two weeks starting today at Wat Makut Kasattiyaram in Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

The Sunday Nation

BANGKOK: -- When they handed the draft charter to the National Reform Council on August 22, charter drafters had given reasons to the public that this charter had key aims to help patch up past conflicts, move the country toward reconciliation, and bring about tangible reforms.

Banjerd Sinkaneti, a vice secretary to the Constitution Drafting Committee, talks to The Sunday Nation's Piyaporn Wongruang on why they crafted the charter in such a way.
