In the first lawsuit judgement against the maker of the herbicide glyphosate, a jury awarded the plaintiff US$289 million(9.4 billion baht). The Thai government needs to immediately rethink its stance on the use of glyphosate in light of now well-established facts that glyphosate causes cancer. I would like to bring to your attention the poor quality work by a subcontractor contracted by the Metropolitan Water Authority for a drinking water pipeline project. Despite the poor quality work, the subcontractor has won several contracts from the MWA in a short time.
