Pheu Thai leader: Party wants Speaker’s post
Cholnan says views of his MPs carry more weight than those of coalition allies
The leader of the Pheu Thai Party says the party is placing more weight on its members’ views than those of coalition allies, and most Pheu Thai members want the party to have the House speaker’s post.
However, Cholnan Srikaew said on Thursday that Pheu Thai had yet to officially conclude its stance on which party should have the position.
Pheu Thai has 141 House seats while the election-winning Move Forward Party has 151. Their other six coalition allies have a total of 22 seats combined.
Dr Cholnan said that most Pheu Thai members want the speaker’s post to belong to Pheu Thai.
“Pheu Thai cares about the feelings of all parties,” he said. “Number one is the people who hand their power to us. Number two is the members and MPs of the party, and the last one is coalition parties.”
Still, Pheu Thai members and MPs have yet to reach a consensus on the speaker issue and the party is seriously trying to prevent the issue from getting out of control, he conceded.
Asked if Pheu Thai members could nominate Pheu Thai list MP Suchart Tancharoen, a seasoned veteran who is familiar with the job, Dr Cholnan said members had the right to make their proposal.
Mr Suchart was the first deputy House speaker after the previous election in 2019.
The Pheu Thai leader dismissed a proposal from Wan Muhammad Nor Matha, leader of the coalition ally Prachachat Party, that Prachachat be given the second deputy’s seat because it had the third most MPs among coalition allies.
Given hat Pheu Thai had 141 seats and Prachachat just 9, Mr Cholnan said he believed his party should have both deputy positions, if it does not get the main job.
Earlier Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, head of the Thai Sang Thai Party, and Mr Wan Nor warned that the eight coalition allies cannot form their government unless the speaker issue is resolved.
In any case, Dr Cholnan said he still did not think the coalition would fail, and that Pheu Thai and Move Forward would resolve the issue before the House has its first meeting to vote for the speaker, expected to take place on or around July 6.
The speaker will preside over a joint sitting of the House and the Senate, expected to convene on July 13, to select a new prime minister.
Veteran politician and Pheu Thai list MP Adisorn Piangket said almost 100% of Pheu Thai members want their party to have the speaker’s seat but do not want the matter to obstruct the foundation of the new government.
“If any issue is unresolved, traditionally it must be decided by a (House) meeting. The House does not belong to any single party. No parties have the majority of House seats,” he said.
Mr Adisorn said he wanted Pheu Thai and Move Forward to reach an agreement so that they could form the government with Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat as the prime minister.
Roseate House: India man ‘cons’ posh Delhi hotel for two-year free stay
Getty ImagesA man in India has allegedly managed to stay in a five-star hotel in the capital, Delhi, for close to two years without paying the bill.
Police received a complaint by managers at the Roseate House near Delhi airport after they discovered the apparent scam – 603 days into the man’s stay.
He allegedly owes the hotel over 5m rupees ($70,000; £55,000).
The complaint alleges the man colluded with staff who helped hide the mounting bills. No-one has been arrested.
Though the case was reported to Delhi police on 24 May, details have only recently emerged in the local media.
The unnamed man is said to have checked into the hotel on 30 May 2019 after having booked a room for a single night, and stayed there until 22 January 2022, the Indian Express newspaper reports.
Even though he did not pay, one of the staff members allegedly kept extending his stay, the report adds.
Details of how this was done are said to include fiddling with other guests’ bills – or simply swapping one for the other.
No names have been given.
“As per hotel rules, if a guest owes more than 50,000 rupees to the hotel, the staff has to inform the seniors and push the guest for payment. However, this was not done,” a senior police officer told the newspaper.

Beijing heatwave: China capital records hottest June day in 60 years
REUTERSBeijing has recorded its hottest June day in more than 60 years with the mercury touching 41.1C (105.9F), Chinese weather authorities say.
The city is experiencing a prolonged heatwave with extreme temperatures to persist until the end of June.
On Thursday, officials said it was the hottest June day since record keeping began in 1961.
Several monthly heat records have been broken around China this year, prompting fears of an energy crunch.
Last month, the country’s largest city Shanghai, with 25 million people living on the east coast, recorded its hottest May day in a century.
More than 21 million people live in Beijing, the nation’s capital in the north.
On Thursday, a weather station in the city’s north recorded a high of 41.8C.
Authorities earlier issued an orange alert, the second-most severe weather warning, saying that temperatures could reach 39C in the days to Saturday.
The national weather bureau also issued a heat stroke alert last week – a fortnight earlier than in previous years.
Local authorities in Beijing, Tianjin, and other cities in northern and eastern China, advised people to suspend outdoor work during the hottest parts of the day and to get medical help if they show symptoms of a heat stroke.
Some have also warned people and businesses to curb their electricity usage.
Last week, the National Energy Administration staged its first-ever emergency drill in China’s eastern region, simulating a power surge and outage in the face of any large-scale power outages.
The situation was “relatively severe” in regards to power grid security, the agency said.
In the port city of Tianjin, an increased demand for air-conditioning has pushed up the power grid’s load 23% relative to last year. Workers from the local utility department were patrolling underground tunnels daily to make sure electric cables were working properly, officials said.
Rising temperatures and more frequent heatwaves are the result of global climate change. A study released last month found climate change had made heatwaves 30 times more likely in Asia.
It had also raised temperatures by at least 2C in many parts of Asia during an April heatwave. The region has been described by experts as experiencing “the worse heatwave in [its] history”.
Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh and India all saw record temperatures of up to 45C in April.
The extreme heat caused deaths and hospitalisations in some countries, melted roads and affected other infrastructure.
Heatwaves are one of the deadliest natural hazards in the world, causing thousands of related deaths each year.

Pita pickle puts Thailand on a precipice
BANGKOK – Job opening: Prime Minister of Thailand. Must be able to end the kingdom’s cycle of coups by satisfying the demands of a putsch-prone, politically empowered military.
Must be able to seduce junta-appointed senators into supporting the next government, and continue capitalist Thailand’s delicate balancing of relations with the US and China.
Unfortunately for Pita Limjaroenrat – the May 14 election winner and frontrunner to become prime minister – the Election Commission on June 9 opened a “criminal case” against him for alleged election fraud, punishable by disqualification, 10 years in prison and a political ban for 20 years.
Pita is vulnerable to a legal intervention because his new Move Forward Party’s (MFP) nationwide election victory was buoyed by many idealistic, anti-military voters. That rang alarms throughout Thailand’s increasingly insecure army-led conservative establishment.
Put on the khaki uniform of a politically entrenched general, and it is easy to understand why you might regard Pita’s election win as a challenge.
Pita campaigned to strip army officers of political power and lucrative commercial enterprises, end conscription, dissolve the military-appointed 250-seat Senate, and dismantle the murky Internal Security Operations Command, created by the US Central Intelligence Agency during the mid-20th century’s anti-communist era.
“There certainly appears to be a conservative campaign in Thailand to diminish Pita’s popularity,” said Paul Chambers, a Naresuan University lecturer specializing in military and democratization in Asia.
“This is because Pita is vehemently opposed by the traditional forces of monarchy and military in Thailand,” Chambers said in an interview.
MFP’s victory gave it 151 seats, cheered by most who voted on May 14 for Parliament’s House of Representatives. Thailand’s other main opposition party, Peua Thai, placed second with 141 seats and has agreed to enter a coalition with MFP.
Many voters selected MFP as a clearer vote against the military’s rule, imprisonments of activists and students, media censorship and manipulation of politics since coups in 2006 and 2014. Chillingly for some generals, polls showed many conscripts voted MFP.
The Southeast Asian nation’s Covid-battered economy, severe pollution, official corruption, tangled bureaucracy and other woes also likely led to Pita’s victory. MFP clobbered Prime Minister Prayut’s new party, which scored poorly at fifth place in the elections.
But the battle to actually take power has just begun for the Harvard-trained, 42-year-old progressive politician. Pita is now wrestling with the junta’s 2017 constitution, rewritten after then-army chief General Prayut’s democracy-suspending 2014 coup.
That charter’s restrictions on elected politicians could stop Pita in his tracks when a full sitting of Parliament including the Senate meets in July or August to vote on who will be the kingdom’s next premier.
Many analysts predict the military-appointed Senate will ultimately block Pita from the premiership.
Pita is defending himself against charges of possibly violating an election law when he initially ran for Parliament in 2019. He has insisted the charges are politically motivated.
Under Section 151, it is illegal for a person to run for election in Parliament while knowing they are unqualified because of a conflict of interest, financial fraud or other reasons.
Pita’s eligibility rests on his recent handling of his late father’s 42,000 shares in a Bangkok-based media company, iTV, which Pita inherited in 2006.
To convict Pita, the Election Commission would need evidence he “was knowingly aware” that any candidate, who holds stock shares in a media company, is disqualified from running for Parliament.
“Nobody is playing dirty politics,” said Senator Seree Suwanpanon, responding to claims that the iTV case is intentionally being used to destroy Pita’s political career.
“Pita stumbled on his own feet, but blamed others for crossing his legs,” Senator Seree said.
“Heavier [political] weapons are being transported into this warzone, meaning the 151 anti-aircraft guns are just the beginning,” said ex-election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn, referring to election law Section 151 while aptly using a military analogy.
If the Election Commission convicts Pita of a criminal offense, it can forward the case to Bangkok’s Criminal Court for trial and possible punishment, which includes a potential 10-year prison penalty.
In a move widely perceived as clumsy, too late, and suspicious, Pita said last week that he recently sold the 42,000 iTV shares to his relatives to stop people from thinking he owned them, after the allegations about his role as the estate’s handler emerged.
The case twisted further on June 12 when a purported video surfaced of iTV’s shareholders, which allegedly does not match iTV’s transcript of what was said at a 2023 gathering describing its current status as a media company.
If Pita fails to become prime minister, angry protests of his supporters might spill onto Bangkok’s streets, according to widespread warnings and threats. But if Pita succeeds, he could face similarly disruptive street protests led by his pro-establishment opponents.
Grim warnings and veiled threats of urban violence, voiced by both sides, are also purportedly being used to pressure politicians and institutions into agreeing with various alleged backroom political deals.
In Thailand, crippled by more than a dozen coups since the 1930s, another putsch is always a possibility in turbulent times.
“Army Chief General Narongpan Jitkaewthae said, just days before the May 14 general election, that he cannot promise that the army will stay in the barracks if there is political turmoil,” wrote prominent political columnist Pravit Rojanaphruk.
“The only way to defeat yet another possible coup attempt is to have enough people on the streets willing to be imprisoned – 100,000 or more, at least,” Pravit wrote.
The commission’s investigation of Pita could drag on for months and a criminal court case could take years. That, in certain legal scenarios, may allow Prayut to stay on as caretaker prime minister until the case is settled.
“This is important because the next prime minister will oversee the selection of the new army, navy, air force, and supreme commanders and police commander – all of which must be confirmed by September 30,” Chambers noted.
Alternatively, Pita could become prime minister but later be disqualified if the case goes against him. If Pita does go down, it will be deja vu for Thailand.
A Constitutional Court in 2009 ousted then-prime minister Samak Sundaravej because of a conflict of interest when he hosted a TV cooking show.
“The real stumbling block that is likely to negate Mr Pita’s quest for the prime ministerial post is the senators, many of them active and retired military officers and civil servants who dread the Move Forward Party’s ‘radical’ policies,” wrote columnist and former Bangkok Post editor Veera Prateepchaikul on June 12.
A prime minister needs a coalition comprised of a combined majority of 376 of Parliament’s 500-seat House of Representatives, who were elected on May 14, plus the 250-seat junta-appointed Senate.
Pita said his eight-party coalition, including second-placing Peua Thai, has 312 House seats. No one knows how many senators, if any, will support his bid for the premiership.
The Senate could side with the army and combine its bloc with other House parties, including those in Prayut’s current ruling coalition, to form a possible minority government, which they have the numbers to do.
If they form a coalition totaling more than 376, likely prime ministers could include Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, an industrialist leading the popular, third-placing Bhum Jai Thai party.
Anutin’s fame swelled when he helped turn Thailand on to legalized cannabis last year by leading the push to delete it from a list of “narcotics.”
Anutin’s success attracted millions of dollars worth of Thai, US, European, and other commercial and retail investment, resulting in thousands of cannabis shops punctuating Thailand’s streets.
His BJT won 71 seats in the election, making it a prized bloc for forming any coalition. Anutin has offered to join any coalition which agrees to keep cannabis legal.
He has stayed away from Pita and others who want cannabis returned to the narcotics list, allowing narcs to hunt users who do not have prescriptions, and marijuana entrepreneurs who do not have medical-related licenses.
“Anutin’s Bhum Jai Thai was part of Prayut’s coalition government. He is acceptable to the Election Commission, Senate and all political parties, except for Move Forward party,” said academic Chambers.
If Anutin becomes prime minister, he “would provide civilian camouflage to the status quo of continuing monarchy-military dominance,” he said.
Thai society split in 2001 when royalists and the army feared the rising nouveau riche power of then-newly elected prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The army toppled the populist leader in a 2006 coup. Over the years, courts convicted Thaksin of financial and other crimes, sentencing him to a total of 12 years in four cases, causing him to live in self-exile while maintaining certain sway over Peua Thai.
“Thaksin is no longer a terrifying political demon for conservatives, and they are more concerned about the rise to power of Pita and the Move Forward Party,” Wanwichit Boonprong, a political science lecturer at Bangkok’s Rangsit University, said in an interview.
As such, another leading contender to become prime minister is Peua Thai parliamentarian and property tycoon Srettha Thaweesin, who some see as a compromise candidate who wouldn’t overly irk or threaten the military or conservative establishment.
Thaksin’s youngest daughter, politically inexperienced Paethongtan Shinawatra, was tipped to be prime minister but her entitlement apparently weakened after her election failure to beat Pita, though she secured a seat.

Major Chinese scam gang busted
Operation based at notorious Kings Romans casino duped victims by claiming link to Crown Property Bureau
Police have arrested the alleged leader of a Chinese call centre scam gang and 10 others wanted for duping people into investing in gold by claiming a link with the Crown Property Bureau.
The scammers peddled their “Royal Gold” investments from the notorious Kings Romans casino at the Golden Triangle in Laos and bilked their victims out of about 500 million baht, according to the police Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD).
Teng June, 32, a Chinese national and alleged leader of the gang, was arrested in Bang Khunthian district of Bangkok, Pol Maj Gen Athip Pongsiwapai, commander of the TCSD, told the media on Thursday.
Nine Thai nationals and one stateless woman were also apprehended in Chiang Rai and Chanthaburi provinces in recent days, he added.
Seized from the alleged gang leader and his accomplices were three luxury cars, over 5 million baht in cash, 30 items of gold ornaments, luxury watches, brand-name bags, computers, mobile phones, SIM cards, bank account books, gold certificates and other items.
All of the suspects were charged with colluding in fraud, putting false information into a computer system and laundering money. They are being held in police custody for legal action.
Earlier, the Crown Property Bureau filed a police complaint that a group of criminals had used its name to open a website under the name “Royal Gold” to promote gold investments.
Between January and May of this year, many people had fallen victim, with damages of about 500 million baht, said Pol Maj Gen Athip.
TCSD investigators found that Mr Teng led the operation, which was headquartered in the compound of the Kings Romans casino.
The Chinese national controlled the operations centre and delegated tasks to other scammers such as arranging bank accounts to receive money transfers from victims and hiring people to open bank accounts. Some scammers were tasked with laundering money.

Pol Col Siriwat Deephor, the deputy TCSD commander, said the scammers created false Facebook accounts using images of good-looking women as their profile photos.
They then approached potential victims and persuaded them to invest in gold via the Royal Gold website, which was set up to look like a stock trading site with graphs showing prices and trading volume. The gang claimed its website invested in gold with links to the Crown Property Bureau in a bid to build credibility.
During the initial stage, investors were receiving returns of 10%. But when the investors sought to withdraw their money, they were unable to get it. They were then asked to transfer more funds to pay taxes service fees. After receiving the money, members of the gang could no longer be contacted, said Pol Col Siriwat.
Pol Col Nethi Wongkularp, superintendent of TSCD Sub-division 2, who led the arrest operation, said the gang used the money swindled from the victims to buy cryptocurrency. They transferred the crypto to digital wallets that they had hired other people to open in order to launder their ill-gotten money.
“The investigation found that those who were hired to open bank accounts and digital wallets mostly live in Chiang Rai. They were hired for 3,000 to 4,000 baht each,” he said.
One of the scammers tasked with finding people to open bank accounts told police that he had been paid 10,000 baht per account. He claimed he had huge debts from gambling at Kings Romans and the Chinese gang leader, who was among the 11 suspects arrested, forced him to work for the scam gang.
Though the alleged gang leader and his accomplices have been arrested, five other scammers remained at large, police say. They are three Chinese men at the executive level of the gang — Qiu Dewu, 45, Qiu Decong, 36, and Zhang Zhihong, 22 — and two other Thais whose names were not disclosed.

Indonesia to conduct study on Bandung-Surabaya high-speed rail link: Coordinating Minister
JAKARTA: Indonesia wants to conduct a preliminary study on a Bandung-Surabaya high-speed rail link connecting the country’s most populous island Java from west to east, Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investments Luhut Pandjaitan said on Thursday (Jun 22).
Mr Pandjaitan made the remarks after trying out the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train during a trial run – part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) landmark project in Indonesia.
“We want to report to the president about preliminary studies for one (high-speed train) from Bandung to Surabaya.
“Of course, with our current experience, there will definitely be a lot of savings that we can make,” Mr Pandjaitan said.
Mr Pandjaitan and Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi rode on the high-speed train from Bandung to Jakarta as it was tested for the first time at its projected speed of 350kmh during commuter travel.
“This was the first time, and God willing, it will go up to Surabaya,” Mr Sumadi said.
“Extraordinarily, (the train travelled at) 350kmh, and it was stable. It could run without us needing to hold on (for support).”
Malaysia to charge Thais over mass graves
Hearing set for Friday for foursome linked to 2015 discoveries of human trafficking camps
KUALA LUMPUR: Four Thai nationals will face charges in a Malaysian court on Friday over the 2015 discovery of mass graves and suspected human trafficking camps at the border with Thailand, Malaysia’s home affairs minister said.
The dense forests of southern Thailand and northern Malaysia have been a major stopping-off point for smugglers bringing people to Southeast Asia by boat — most of them Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar and squalid refugee camps in Bangladesh.
The discovery of camps and graves on the Thai side of the border in 2015 led authorities in Thailand to crack down on people smugglers, but prompted traffickers to abandon at sea thousands of migrants making their way to the border area in overcrowded boats.
The Criminal Court in Thailand convicted 62 people, including an army general, police officers and provincial officials, in 2017 at the end of Thailand’s biggest ever human-trafficking trial.
Four people wanted in connection with the two countries’ investigation into the camps discovered in 2015 were extradited from Thailand this week, and were expected to be charged on Friday at a sessions court in Perlis state, Home Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said on Thursday.
Saifuddin did not say what charges the four would face but stressed that Malaysia was “committed to maintaining border security and viewed issues of cross-border crime seriously, particularly human trafficking and migrant smuggling”.
The four people were among 10 Thai nationals that Malaysia had sought for extradition since 2017 as part of its investigation into the border camps, Saifuddin said.
Malaysia in 2019 launched a public inquiry into whether authorities mishandled an investigation into the 139 graves and more than 12 campsites suspected to have been run by people-smuggling groups.
The inquiry found weaknesses on the part of border patrols but concluded that no Malaysian enforcement officials, public servants or locals were involved in trafficking or migrant smuggling syndicates, according to a report published on the website of the home affairs ministry.

Singapore slips in world competitiveness ranking but still top in Asia
The institute’s director Professor Arturo Bris noted that while Singapore has done well in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation’s late reopening – later than most European countries – shaved off some of its competitiveness.
Nevertheless, he stressed the dip was “not significant”, adding that Singapore “remains a very strong competitive economy.”
“This year, with Singapore taking advantage of the recovery, and the resilience of its economy, these are going to pay off,” Prof Bris told CNA’s Singapore Tonight on Tuesday (Jun 20).
The research highlighted that going forward, countries late to open up after the pandemic, including Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia are starting to see improvements in their competitiveness. In contrast, those early to open up are beginning to see a decline in ranking.
SMALL BUT MIGHTY
Economies with agile governance and strong trade ties have been the most successful in the latest competitive index.
Top-ranking economies – including Singapore – are small nations that make good use of access to markets and trading partners, the research found.
Second-placed Ireland, for instance, rose sharply through the ranks as a result of robust achievements in its economic performance and significant progress in government and business efficiency.
While Switzerland also slipped a spot to third overall, it still measured strongly across competitive factors, reclaiming its top spot in both government efficiency and infrastructure.
Prof Bris said that small countries allow for easier consensus between the private and the public sectors. He added that Singapore is strong in both physical and intangible infrastructure, particularly in areas of education and healthcare.
“The government also considers the long-term needs of the country much more than the short-term needs,” he said, of factors contributing to the nation’s competitive edge.
“Singapore has invested in human capital, which means that the nation is very well prepared to cope with challenges in the coming years.”
AGILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
While being small is a strength, the size is also a weakness for Singapore as smaller countries are more vulnerable to geopolitical issues, Prof Bris said, highlighting tensions in the South China Sea, and impact from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Singapore operates in the middle of a big market – Asia, and it relies (heavily) on external markets,” he explained.
“Since small economies tend to be affected much more by geopolitical issues, I would say that this is Singapore’s biggest weakness.”
Another weakness for Singapore’s competitiveness is its price tag, not unlike fellow small economies such as Hong Kong and Switzerland, Prof Bris said.
“Successful economies are also expensive,” he said. “It is not something that we want to avoid, as it is part of the price of being successful.”
STAYING COMPETITIVE
The report said economies will need to embrace agility and adaptability in order to navigate an increasingly fragmented world.
Hence, Singapore should look at two additional areas of focus to stay competitive, on top of continuing to invest in health, education and digital infrastructure, Prof Bris said.
The first is to boost local produce and production for the domestic market in order to build resilience and work towards self-sufficiency, he said.
Second, is to put a bigger focus on regional cooperation and trade.
“Singapore needs to focus on Southeast Asia because that’s going to be the market that will make it profitable, efficient, and successful,” he said.
“Gone are the times when globalisation meant that we can sell equally to (further places such as) Chile or Canada. Now, we will need to focus much more on markets closer to us.”
