Editor;
Hi, I called you yesterday about getting your readers to sign a petition to city hall about your article on page 2 about the water machines with 20% stagnant, undrinkable water. We need to get them to close down these machines until they have passed a government test.
Also, have one of these petitions every week. It will increase the sales of your newspaper 10 fold. The word will get around to all the falangs in the city that something at last is going to be done.
Petition 2: the diesel fumes of the coaches; 3: the traffic lights on 2nd Road and Beach Road are a big danger to the public, so we need to get them removed. 4: A driving school in Pattaya for all these reckless drivers. Make them have lessons and a test – no bribery until they have passed a test.
There are so many subjects to write to city hall about. I have given up with them, they don’t even reply back. I’m trying to save lives, whether by good driving, good water to drink, or fresh air to breath.
I have now moved over to the dark side, which is 10 times better. Pattaya is now like Beijing China, with bad air. I have many other plans and ideas for you to put to pen, via city hall. Also, where you sell your newspaper, have a stand there with the latest news in Pattaya’s war on those polluted water machines, and the same next week a new story. Your sales will treble.
God bless a very good newspaper, No. 1 in Pattaya.
