Citizens of Thailand would be better served by their public servants if these servants gave their allegiance to Thailand first and foremost instead of swearing to serve and to obey individuals and vested interests outside of government (Thaksin's renaissance man, Bangkok Post, July 22, 2008). And yet, as the article shows, public servants, and even those aspiring to public service, openly declare that they are proud of their unwavering allegiance, subservience, and obedience to a single private citizen rather than to the country they apparently wish to serve.
