Wissanu Krea- ngam, a constitutional adviser to the prime minister, on Tuesday expressed worry about complaints that the Senate vote is being marred by abnormalities.

He made the remarks as a result of grievances about alleged irregularities in district-level election next Sunday.

Asked if he was concerned, he said while problems were detected in the area- stage voting, they were fairly minimal ones.

According to Mr. Wissanu, the Election Commission (EC ) reported that the majority of the districts ‘ voting was smooth because there were few candidates.

” But, when the election at provincial and national rates takes place, there may be a reason to worry,” he added without elaborating.

In response to the complaints, caregiver senator Somchai Swangkarn on Tuesday demanded that the EC make the district-level election results public.

He claimed that many candidates had requested the results of the ballot, but area election officials had turned down their requests, claiming they had previously provided the results to the EC.

Mr. Somchai has asserted on numerous occasions that the results of the Senate vote has been manipulated by various methods.

He claimed before that a review of the voting results on Sunday revealed that some candidates received overwhelming support while others received little support.

This is attributed to a flaw in the natural laws governing the vote, which allows individuals to cast ballots for themselves and/or for another candidates, according to Mr. Somchai, who chairs the Senate committee on human privileges and consumer protection.

He claimed that some of the individuals who did not cast ballots on Sunday may have been paid by political parties or interest groups to participate in the election in order to support other individuals.

According to Mr. Somchai, the Senate committee has learned that a hotel proprietor who applied to run for office also instructed his employees to do the same.

He claimed that some candidates are believed to possess lied about their professional experiences and that the EC should have taken the time to carefully study their backgrounds.

He added that the upcoming provincial-level ballot in the Senate election on June 16 do reveal that many people had been hired to participate in the process just to support candidates supported by particular political parties or interest groups.

Cabinet leader’s woman among the three admitted to jail

Three former Bhumjaithai Party MPs ‘ last appeals were rejected by the Supreme Court, who were given nine months in prison without a suspension for proxy voting during the debate over the 2020 budget expenses.

The Criminal Division of the Supreme Court handed down the decision on Tuesday for those holding political office positions.

The jury rejected the appeals filed by Chalong Thoetwiraphong, a previous Phatthalung district 2 MP, Phumsit Khongmi, a former Phatthalung district 1 MP, and Natee Ratchakitprakarn, a former listing MP and the family of Labour Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn.

The Supreme Court ruled in May of last year that the three previous lawmakers had intentionally violated ethics by permitting another MPs to cast ballots on their behalf during the budget bill’s second and third readings between January 10 and January 11, 2020.

They were found to be in violation of Segment 172 of the Counter Corruption Act and answerable to a maximum of 10 years in prison and/or excellent of 20, 000- 200, 000 ringgit.

They were given quick revocations of their political right and a nine-month sentence each. The three were eventually released on bail for one million ringgit each as they lodged an appeal against the harshness of the word for people their own time. &nbsp,

The judge rejected their allure, finding their argument unsustainable. The court determined that the court’s lowest possible punishment in this case was a nine-month statement that was commuted from the original one-year prison term.

The courts agreed that the three had acted dishonestly while serving as politicians, which justifies denying them suspended sentences. This would give them more time to repent while they were incarcerated, preventing others from committing the same kind of moral deed. &nbsp,

After the judge decision, Chalong and Phumsit were taken to Bangkok Remand Prison, and Natee to the Central Women’s Correctional Institution.

Smugglers may try to sell more fuel to Thai customers in order to protect profits because of the narrow price gap.

Now that Kuala Lumpur no longer offers oil incentives, Malaysia anticipates that traffickers will be even busier along the Thai-Tangai borders.

According to the New Straits Times on Tuesday, Perlis police chief Muhammad Abdul Halim predicted that traffickers may increase their functions by purchasing more energy in the Indonesian condition to fraudulently sell to buyers in Thailand to make up for the decline in profits.

The Indonesian government stopped subsidizing the fuel because doing so had become a governmental burden, which caused the diesel price difference between the two countries to narrow on Monday.

The state police chief was quoted as saying,” We believe that diesel and gasoline smuggling syndicates will scale up their operations, smuggling out larger volumes of fuel to maintain high profits.”

Perlis edges the counties of Satun and Songkhla in Thailand. It is the key state linking the two places.

Malaysia lifted fuel subsidies starting on Monday to support the government’s finances and stop energy smuggling. Diesel prices are now 3.35 ringgit ( 26 baht ) per litre, up from 2.15 ringgit, with no financial support from the government. The new cost, 32.94 baht, is still less expensive than fuel in Thailand.

RON95 petrol in Malaysia is also a bargain at 2.05 ringgit ( 15.97 baht ) compared with 37.35 baht for Gasohol 95 in Thailand.

In Malay states that border Singapore and Indonesia, where gas prices are significantly higher, is also being observed smuggling. The cost per gallon of gasoline in ringgit words is 4.37 in Indonesia and 8.87 in Singapore.

Minister says some city beggars earn as much as B100, 000 a fortnight

Minister of Social Development and Human Security, Varawut Silpa-archa, has urged people to stop giving cash to beggars because they are becoming more prevalent, with some earning close to 100, 000 baht per month.

Mr. Varawut stated on Tuesday that his government has been collaborating with a number of organizations, including the Royal Thai Police and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, to combat praying.

According to him, government officials conduct washes five times a quarter to apprehend beggars on the streets. &nbsp,

Thai orphans are sent to a ministry-run home for the homeless, where they receive career training and are encouraged to find employment, according to Mr. Varawut, while arrested international beggars are deported back to their home countries.

He added that the government has learned that some earlier detained beggars go back to the streets because their earnings are much higher than their charges.

The Beggar Control Act BE 2559 ( 2016 ) states the punishment for begging can be up to one- month imprisonment and/or a fine of up to 10, 000 baht.

According to Mr. Varawut, the majority of their income comes from visitors or the general public, adding that many gypsies have pets or children with them.

Any man who is discovered with a baby may be looked into to determine whether they are related to the child. If no, they may face legal action, he said.

The secretary also said that about 7, 000 beggars have been caught over the last 10 years, and 30 % of that number were unusual.

” I’d like to request for people’s participation in stopping giving to these beggars because they keep coming back and are getting more and more people,” he said. &nbsp,

When questioned about their money, Mr. Varawut responded that there was no assurance, but that they typically receive a bunch from foreign guests during the high season. Some of them make roughly 100, 000 ringgit in a fortnight, he said.

Rules a response to the severe condemnation of the 5-millimeter rule separating users from dealers

According to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, the government has approved in theory a law that stipulates that people found in possession of more than one meth product will be regarded as an criminal and will not have the option of being sent to rehabilitation.

The Ministry of Public Health’s proposed review regulation addresses the condemnation of a previous concept that stated that anyone found with five or more velocity pills could face legal action.

The legislation received criticism for introducing a flaw that allowed anyone who had between one and four pills to be categorized as a drug addiction in need of treatment and avoid a possible prison sentence.

Mr Srettha, who chaired Tuesday’s government conference, said on Tuesday that a person caught with one tablet — or the equivalent of no more than 100 milligrammes of cocaine — may be assumed to be a primary- time offender who should be rehabilitated.

The draft legislation will then be sent to the Council of State, the president’s legal shoulder, for screening.

Before the government meeting, public health minister Somsak Thepsutin stated that the person must demonstrate that they purchased the medication for their own consumption and not for sale in order to comply with the one-tabl prescription rehab rule.

If they fail to confirm that, they may face prosecution, the secretary said.

The document will be returned to the cupboard once the Council of State has finished the vetting process, according to Mr. Somsak, adding that the process may be finished by this month.

The minister claimed that the proposed one-tablet cut-off was meant to separate drug users from drug dealers and smugglers.

Any property obtained using medication funds, including those left to other people, may be seized as part of an ongoing crackdown against the drug trade.

According to Mr. Somsak, the law also permits benefits for spies and officials involved in bringing up and compiling illegal drug cases.

13- year- aged girl collapsed incapacitated, rushed to clinic

A 13-year-old woman who had paid 1, 000 ringgit for drinking at an ordination service collapsed into a coma and was taken to the hospital.

She was placed in intensive treatment, but she was later revealed to be in a stable state.

Police were looking for the person who hired the lady and a 13-year-old child to consume alcohol at the ceremony. On Sunday evening during the priesthood at a church in the Nong Bunmak district, they were each paid 1, 000 baht in cash and encouraged to sip a half-bottle of alcohol.

The child fell unconscious, was taken to Nong Bunmak Hospital, and was then transferred to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, where she received treatment in the intensive care unit.

A nearby resident captured a picture of middle-aged men forming a loop and clapping on the lady and the child as they raised their bottles and poured the alcohol.

An unnamed man hired her daughter and the child who had been drinking the liquor, according to 72-year-old Oui Krapheenok of Mitsamphan community in tambon Nong Takai, who filed a complaint with officers at Nong Bunmak police stop on Monday.

She claimed that her daughter, who was present at the meeting, wanted to collect some of the coins that relatives had thrown to the masses during the ceremony. Grandma Oui said the girl wanted the money to help her family because there were 13 places for her to serve. &nbsp, &nbsp,

The child regained consciousness on Tuesday, but she was still able to communicate and had symptoms of numbness as a side effect of the emergency care, according to a source. She had been moved from the ICU to a general ward by doctors.

On Tuesday, Picharn Trapakwaen, chief of Nong Bunmak district, led social welfare and public health officials to visit the girl’s family at Mitsamphan village. They learned the family was poor with 13&nbsp, members. &nbsp,

The girl was still receiving care at the hospital, according to Mr. Picharn. The district manager claimed that the girl had been forced to accept the offer of the money because she wanted to help her family.

He had ordered that the girl’s medical costs be covered, and assistance provided for&nbsp, her education and for the family.

The man who hired the two children to drink alcohol was identified by police on Tuesday, and he was threatened with legal action.

His actions were against the Child Protection Act, which prohibited compulsion, persuasion, or enticement of children to behave inappropriately, hiring them to work or act in a way that might be harmful to the body. He had also acted recklessly, causing injury to others.
