Thai workers stranded in 'red zone'

28″ being compelled to work” in a hazardous place

After being sent back to the so-called” dark area” by their boss, who they claim is forcing them to continue working in the midst of the continuous conflict, 28 Thai workers in Israel are pleading with the government to return them.

Pongsakorn: Concerns about safety

A vegetable farm in Yated, a little town in southern Israel 10 kilometers from the Gaza Strip, was abandoned, according to Pongsakorn Intaworn, 31, of Ban Dung region in Udon Thani, and 27 other Thai employees.

He previously stated that on October 10, their Jewish company had relocated the Thai employees to a rural town 200 kilometers from Yated. However, the company returned them to the farm on October 15 and left them there.

Mr. Pongsakorn stated that he and his coworkers were worried about their protection now that they were in a red zone where attacks were continued.

” We want to go back home.” To deal with our company, we would like [ the Thai government ] to get in touch with the Royal Thai Embassy in Israel. We don’t want to pass away, he begged.

Jaruwan: Food is scarce.

Mr. Abe, a 35-year-old Thai employee at the vegetable farm, claimed that their employer had denied their requests for permission to visit Thailand.

Their company left them in Yated as soon as they were driven back it, according to Mr. Abe, after they had just spent five days in the other town’s shelter.

He continued,” We want to talk to our company and ask any Thai official to assist us.”

” We are now concerned that any one of us may suffer harm because we are all 28 working in the midst of the issue.

Yupin Tongdeenok, a 30-year-old resident of Nakhon Phanom territory in Thailand, told the media that her sister-in-law is being forced to work in Israel despite being close to the Gaza Strip and the issue.

Jaruwan Chantawong, 35, a resident of Nakhon Phanom’s Renu Nagon city, was named as the sister-in-law. Ms. Yupin claimed that four years ago, she went to Israel to operate on a farm.

Nearly 50 Thai workers, the majority of whom are from the northern region, according to Ms. Yupin, are still employed at the land with her sister-in-law.

In addition to their worries about the local turmoil, all the workers are reportedly affected by food and electricity shortages.

To assist with their repatriation, their communities in Thailand are contacting the Royal Thai Embassy in Israel.

PM: Sansiri not involved in wallet app

B12bn cost is” untrue ,” and the bank will grow

PM: Sansiri not involved in wallet app
A female displays paper bearing a message endorsing the government’s 10,000-baht digital wallet program. She is a member of the group that gathered at the Pheu Thai Party’s office and enthusiastically endorsed the plan that will be implemented early the following year. SOMCHAI POOMLARD

Monday, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin dispelled rumors that Sansiri Plc, a major real estate developer, would be working with an internet to create new software that the government would use in the upcoming rollout of its 10,000-baht digital currency handout program.

The cost of creating the new e-wallet application, Super App, was allegedly as high as 12 billion baht, which Mr. Srettha refuted as being misleading.

The app didn’t be developed by Sansiri, XSpring Capital Plc, or the app’s affiliates, and the cost of doing so will not be as high as the rumored 12 billion baht that has been circulated in the internet, according to the PM, who is a former senior employee of the company.

Mr. Srettha also vowed to be transparent, saying the council in charge of the project’s implementation would later provide an explanation to allay any concerns.

When questioned, Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat declined to give an estimate of his own despite rumors that the government was considering spending up to 12 billion ringgit on the creation of the new game.

According to some, the new app’s creator is not a private firm that was hired to do the work; rather, he claims that the government has jurisdiction over the commercial bank.

However, when asked which state-run bank may actually be the one developing the app, he merely replied that all of the states-controlled banks may discuss among themselves who will accept the position.

Monday is expected to see a determination, he said.

He also endorsed a fresh initiative to petition the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC ) to investigate the government’s intended course of action for the scheme.

According to Mr. Julapun,” it is their right to request an investigation into the plan, and any scrutiny is simply support ensure transparency.”

He promised to present the NACC with an explanation of the task in person.

Mr. Julapun said the new software is required to enhance data security and make it compatible with the bitcoin technology that will be used in the project in response to inquiries about why the government didn’t use the current Paotang application for its digital cash project.

Additionally, he refuted rumors that participating businesses in the system would be charged 3 % to convert their online currency into cash.

Pichai takes aim at RTP for failing to update database

The Royal Thai Police ( RTP) was urged yesterday to update its criminal record database so that the records of those found not guilty of any criminal offenses can be swiftly removed by former energy minister Pichai Naripthaphan, who was recently appointed as Prime Minister Sretta Thavisin’s adviser.

After appearing on background checks, Mr. Pichai learned he was also listed on the national police database and made the call.

He stated that he must have a spotless criminal history in order to be appointed Am director.

” They conducted a criminal background search after I was appointed to the position of PM’s assistant.” In the end, the report was also present, he added.

However, according to Mr. Pichai, lawyers have now dismissed all three of the charges Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, the former prime minister, brought against him.

These cases were filed under the Computer Crime Act because of criticism he made online about how the Prayut administration handled the business.

Making fun of the criminal charges against him, Mr. Pichai claimed that the points he foresaw, criticized, and predicted have now come to pass.

Despite this, Mr. Pichai discovered when he ran a test on himself that the RTP had still not updated its criminal record collection.

The RTP requested documents demonstrating his exoneration of all legal offenses rather than immediately updating the database, he claimed.

According to Mr. Pichai, the RTP’s ineffective collection updating program is having a negative impact on many people, particularly young people who have had similar experiences.

He continued,” They might be prohibited from traveling overseas or from applying for jobs.”

Top cop demands Thaksin health report from hospital

Top cop demands Thaksin health report from hospital
Thaksin: The hospital’s be is about to end.

Thaksin Shinawatra, a former premier who is currently incarcerated, is receiving treatment at the Police General Hospital( PGH ), according to Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol, the head of the national police.

The call was made following the distribution of a picture of Thaksin on gurney while wearing the patient’s gown and face mask, preparing for magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) and computed tomography ( CT ) scans.

The image, which went viral last week on social media, drew criticism for Thaksin’s possible specific treatment and privileges.

It has been claimed that the image was intentionally circulated. It might be meant to give the impression that Thaksin is still severely ill and requires additional medical care outside of jail, according to critics.

The picture was taken as Thaksin’s 90-day out-of-prison hospitalization date is set to expire on Friday.

Pol Gen Torsak acknowledged yesterday that, given his recent appointment as federal police commander, he knew little about the hospitalization problem.

The Corrections Department, which is in charge of the original top, has asked the authorities to help with his security.

Thaksin, 74, was given a complete sentence of eight times in three cases when he returned to Thailand on August 22 after 15 years of self-imposed captivity.

Nevertheless, he was transferred from Bangkok Remand Prison to the PGH that evening due to health reasons, and has stayed there ever since.

His Majesty the King reduced his eight-year prison sentence to one month after he requested a royal pardon.

Democratic activist Srisuwan Janya petitioned the Justice Ministry yesterday morning, asking for an investigation into Thaksin’s PGH treatment to determine whether it is in violation of the Corrections Act.

Critics contend that despite the fact that the photo was taken from a distance, Thaksin’s face was left exposed to show that it was him and to give the impression that his former premier still needs medical attention.

The Corrections Act, which states that only inmates who have a critical or emotional illness are permitted to get special treatment outside of captivity, may be broken by Thaksin’s hospitalization at the PGH, according to Mr. Srisuwan, despite his numerous illnesses, including heart disease, heart condition, high blood pressure, and lumbar disc herniation.

He likewise questioned why Thaksin was never given a little prisoner cut, which is mandated by rules set forth by the Corrections Department.

Women aid fellow Thais amid conflict

Women aid fellow Thais amid conflict
Wipawadee:” Dark areas” were visited.

32 Vietnamese workers were saved from Hamas problems in Israel by two Thai people, who have shared their experiences.

Wipawadee” Jam” Vannachai’s video videos went viral yesterday after they showed her and Napaporn” Nong” Sohasun driving around Thai employee tents on Sunday in a” red area” to rescue at-risk Thai employees.

Thousands of Thai employees have been evacuated to homes and are attempting to get in touch with the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv to return to Thailand, despite the fact that 29 Thai employees have died and another 17 are being held captive.

On Sunday, she broadcast live footage of the two ladies driving through Israeli military gates. According to the picture, Ms. Wipawadee had to request permission from authorities to allow them in the red zone area because Vietnamese workers had claimed they had been trapped in worker camps and needed assistance.

Thai employees who had been hurt in the attacks contacted Ms. Wipawadee, but their companies made them go back to work. Before transporting injured workers to a house, the women were successful in bringing them to the clinic.

Ms. Wipawadee returned to Thailand monday to enter her mother’s death in her hometown of Nong Bua Lamphu county after her efforts to assist the workforce.

She explained to the media that she understood Hebrew and wanted to assist Thai people after arriving at Khon Kaen aircraft because her ex-husband was an Israeli prosecutor who had worked for Thai staff for more than 15 years.

Some Vietnamese workers in Israel reached out to the law firm for assistance when Hamas launched their assault on October 7 and asked Ms. Wipawadee to assist in picking them up from the employee tents.

To assist in removing the Vietnamese workers from harm, Ms. Wipawadee and Mr. Napaporn then drove to the tents in the high-risk areas.

According to Ms. Wipawadee, the conflict brought on by the episodes led to the loss of some Thais’ identification documents.

Both women got in touch with relevant parties to help them get momentary passports and get back to Thailand.

” Entering dangerous areas to pick up Thai staff was not simple. Men would not let us provide some places, but we insisted that we must assist in getting the Thai citizens out. Finally, the soldiers assisted in defending us, enabling Thai personnel to be successfully saved, according to Ms. Wipawadee.

Ms. Napaporn is residing in Israel and arranging guidance for employees who are still in need of it, while Mr. Wipawadee stated that she would visit Israel again in December.

More sub-panels formed

Two sub-panels have been established by the government committee looking into the request for a constitutional amendment with the specific tasks of gauging public opinion on the issue and creating guidelines for referendums, both.

Although there is no set timeframe for the sub-panels, according to committee chairman Phumtham Wechayachai, both are anticipated to complete their assignments by the end of the year.

He said,” They might finish at the end of this year or in the first quarter of the following year.”

Following that, Mr. Phumtham stated that a document vote will be presented to the Cabinet for authorization before being put into effect by the Election Commission.

How many elections may be held is a matter of debate. The Constitutional Court had recently decided that replacing the current charter would be necessary in order to amend Section 256 of the law, which would allow for the establishment of a contract writing assemblage. It decided that a election must be held both before and after the contract is redrawn.

According to Mr. Phumtham, the judge’s decision must be properly interpreted to determine how many referendums need to be organized in order to prevent future legal repercussions.

He continued,” Some persons believed that two elections would be sufficient, but others have argued that at least three or even four are required.

He asserted that it would be inappropriate to attempt to obtain the court’s decision on the number of referendums that should be held, stating that such a request should only be made after the sub-panels have completed their work.

Specialist court mulled to deal with drug cartels

Specialist court mulled to deal with drug cartels
Somsak: Wants to move stuff along more quickly.

To expedite the constitutional process of freezing the assets of medicine systems, the Supreme Court wants to establish an appeal court specifically for situations involving drugs.

The action was taken after Deputy Prime Minister Somsak Thepsutin paid a visit to the Supreme Court yesterday to thank Anocha Chevitsophon on taking office as president of the court.

In this case, Ms. Anocha was consulted by the deputy prime minister for advice on how to handle drug-related cases, which account for more than 85 % of all existing imprisonments.

According to Mr. Somsak, the government wanted to lower that number by concentrating on seizing substance networks’ property as soon as the suspects were apprehended.

If circumstances are distinguished by category, it may make it easier for authorities to speed up the asset freezing procedure for drug networks.

He added that frozen property are one of the tried-and-true ways to get rid of drug networks and that the new illegal drug laws also emphasizes the melting of assets.

When he was the justice minister last time, the authorities frozen more than 30 billion ringgit worth of assets, compared to 900 million baht in convulsions the year before.

Ms. Anocha stated that the court should have a professional illicit drug section made up of judges who are knowledgeable in the field so that judges can consult one another as needed in order to properly handle drug-related cases.

Although it would also require assistance from the government, Ms. Anocha agreed with Mr. Somsak’s proposal to establish an appeal judge that would only hear cases involving illegal drugs.

Following the Monday arrest of 7.6 million ice medications for more than 300 million ringgit, Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul attended a media briefing at Rong Kwang Police Station in Phrae.

Local villagers noticed and alerted regulators to a dubious vehicle parked close to Ban Don Chum in tambon Mae Yang Rong in the region of Roong Kwang, which led to the arrest.

Police discovered 38 sacks, each containing about 200, 000 chalk pills, or a total of 7.6 million, after discovering that the lorry was flaunting an imitation license plate.

Authorities hypothesized that the drugs may have been transported from the North to the northern area, while the lorry’s driver might have fled after abandoning it.

He claimed that the seizure’s success depended on effective cooperation between visitors and the authorities.

Mr. Anutin continued,” This is a crucial time that reflects our resolve in dealing with illegal drugs and significant numbers.
