As the House-Senate committee on referendums thrash out its differences regarding the size of the majority needed to pass a charter referendum, a United Thai Nation ( UTN) list-MP yesterday advocated for a middle ground.

Witthaya Kaewparadai, a fellow member of the mutual board, said he concurred that at least quarter of eligible voters must first conduct a referendum in order for it to be regarded as a vote.

” A referendum is important and the number of participants must be large enough, which by international standards, is ]at least ] half]the eligible voters ]. For instance, if there are 42 million eligible citizens, 21 million may participate, and the majority of citizens must support the candidate who wins.

” If the number of participants is small, for example if there are 60 million people and only five million take part in a referendum, I do n’t think that’s a referendum, “he said.

Mr Witthaya appeared to honour a” one and a half “majority law proposed by Chartthaipattana part Nikorn Chamnong, the director of the House-Senate election commission, to break the deadlock.

The “one and a half” lot concept may require that, regardless of the number of votes cast, the majority of the voters may help it for a referendum to be passed.

The Referendum Act, which specifies two circumstances before a referendum result may be deemed bound, should be preserved by the Senate.

These are that second, more than 50 % of eligible voters may attend, and second, at least 50 % those who cast votes may approve it. If half of the electorate votes in favor of a simple lot, the House supports it. Additionally, some Members favored eliminating the requirement that at least 50 % of eligible voters cast ballots in the election.

If members ca n’t agree on the size of the majority, according to Mr. Witthaya, the joint committee will likely vote to determine the outcome.

After closing Soi Sukhumvit 39 for a bicycle lane, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) apologized and reopened the lane.

In the cmos and adjacent areas, the closing caused significant traffic congestion.

The controversial vehicle street was removed from the soi in the Watthana district yesterday, according to Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt.

He claimed that the BMA’s initiative, which was launched in cooperation with international experts and embassies, aimed to encourage walking and cycling in the town.

As part of the site’s pilot phase, a “lane wall” reserved for cyclists was set up in Soi Sukhumvit 39 using foldable customers posts. Nevertheless, narrowing the two-lane cmos to one caused significant traffic gridlock on Tuesday, sparking some complaints from the government.

It even led to chaos on 17 major streets outside, including Phetchaburi Road, Thong Lor and Ekkamai.

Much lines, according to drivers, reached Phatthanakan Road and Victory Monument. Observers noted that shipping riders and motorcycles were the main users of the bike lane rather than cyclists.

The BMA decided to remove the street barriers in response to the reaction while maintaining a shared commuter and cycling route.

Mr. Chadchart thanked everyone for the pain and stressed the value of experimenting with industrial development despite flaws.

” I would like to apologise to the government if this has caused any trouble. If there are errors, we did improve and make them better”, he said.

According to claims that a police investigator and a professor at the Police Cadet Academy made a student intoxicated and sexually assaulted him at the club, the federal police commander, Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, has ordered an investigation.

On Wednesday, Pol Gen Kitrat told the academy’s captain that any offender would experience severe disciplinary action and possible misconduct penalties. He even gave the cadet’s requested to file a formal problem.

According to reports, the professor was a police officer who taught law and English at the university in the Nakhon Pathom district.

Last Saturday evening, a student apparently was lured to a locker room close to the rugby field.

The cadet supposedly consumed three bottles of alcohol and two extra bottles of beer that while trying to masturbate him.

According to reports, the student may not be the only survivor of the accused officials, who were ex-academy classmates.

The police chief urges victims to file formal complaints and declares that criminals will not be spared.

A first-year police cadet was sexually harassed by an instructor and the instructor’s friend, according to a report from the Royal Police Cadet Academy ( RPCA ).

The academy’s assistant director, Pol Maj Gen. Sakrapee Priewpanich, claimed the institution had investigated the incident after it was first reported on social advertising and that it had determined that it was true.

He claimed that he had assigned the Cadet Command Division’s commander to question both sides and take appropriate action.

According to Pol Maj Gen Sakrapee, the student has the right to consult with his parents about what to do because he has legal rights and the option to report a criminal complaint.

He assured that the university would n’t cover up the incident. He claimed that the problem would be resolved in a simple manner because it would be harmed by it.

According to Pol Maj Gen Sakrapee, a council will be established to thoroughly examine the situation and decide whether the teacher should be suspended from his position or permanently.

The school’s answer comes in response to a Facebook post by a well-known Facebook group called” Bigkren” calling on Kittharath Punpetch to investigate an alleged sexual harassment scandal.

According to the article, one of the school’s instructors and a police officer’s friend had inappropriate behavior toward a cadet and had used their seniority to force him into doing their bidding.

The professor and his friend apparently forced the cadet to drink alcohol while they waited for him around the bleachers on November 16.

The student was therefore approached by the couple and attempted to assist him in a masturbation act.

The cadet’s officer identified the affair as sexual harassment and reported it to him.

The professor had allegedly engaged in different types of wrongdoing with cadets several times, and even though the problem was reported to commanding officers, it was not handled properly, according to the article on the” Bigkren” accounts. This was disturbing recruits ‘ families, it added.

It stated that testimony were being asked to provide evidence against the harassers and that testimony had been gathered.

On Wednesday, Pol Gen Kittharath ordered an investigation into the claims. He warned of serious administrative consequences and probable misconduct. He even gave the cadet’s requested to file a formal problem.

According to reports, the professor was a police officer who taught rules and English at the university in the Nakhon Pathom district.

Conversations of a maritime dispute in Cambodia are a possibility.

The commander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) is ready to send marine and legal officers to join the soon-to-be-set-up Joint Technical Committee (JTC ) to negotiate with Cambodia to resolve the disputed maritime areas in the Gulf of Thailand.

Navy Chief Adm Jirapol Wongwit said the army is in charge of managing the maritime boundary that Thailand has designated following a ceremony held at the organization’s office yesterday. Because both parties are aware of one another, he said,” We have been able to look after our maritime boundaries smoothly and without any border problems with our neighboring country [Cambodia].”

The Naval Education Department will hold a seminar on December 3 because the public is interested in Thailand’s overlapping continental shelf claims ( MoU), he said. The conference will protect maritime boundaries, contracts and disputes. The public can access the information on sea rules and the International Court of Justice’s negotiation processes and legal processes.

He added that this will give world a better understanding of the various international agreement cases. As for the improvement in setting up the JTC, he said the army is happy to support the president’s work.

Prior to joining the JTC, Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai stated that the Geodetic Department of the RTN and a number of other organizations were required.

Because we must also carefully examine the maritime boundary issue, we are content to back this. Although technical staff members from the geological department will be available, legitimate department representatives will be sent in for the case. According to him, it depends on the professional authorities the JTC requires.

Maris Sangiampongsa, the government’s foreign affairs minister, described the accomplishments of the JTC’s establishment, claiming that it is enticing to add more authorities.

Russ Jalichandra, a vice-minister for international affairs, said postponing the 2001 MoU did not invalidate Cambodia’s state. Instead, the problem may be, compounded by the lack of a system for negotiations.

The MoU, which serves as a negotiation model, covers maritime areas and negotiations regarding the usage or joint development of the disputed region. According to Mr. Russ, both problems may be resolved at once and may be disregarded in order to avoid problems in the future.
