Seven minors summoned for interrogation following shooting incident at school Seven minors were summoned for interrogation at the Bang Bua Thong District Police Station in Bangkok on Friday, September 16th, following the case of a 14-year-old student who was reportedly shot by his friend at a school’s computer room on Thursday. On Thursday afternoon, a schoolboy was reportedly shot by his classmate while he was reportedly showing off his shotgun in the computer room. However, the gun reportedly slipped from the friend’s hand onto the computer keyboard, firing by accident, and therefore caused the incident. According to the police’s initial interrogation, the weapon was a handmade Thai firearm and no conflicts were reported to be a trigger of the incident. The gun reportedly belonged to a friend in the group. After the incident, none of them attempted to flee but they attempted to hide the gun. About 11 people, including students, involved in the case were under police custody, insisting that they did not intentionally cause the incident.

PHOTO: TMN Cable TV Pattaya A Chonburi official caught her 29-year-old female secretary who had allegedly been stealing her money in her bedroom for the last five years, worth over 10 million baht. The suspect was a secretary to the female mayor of the Nong Mai Daeng subdistrict in Chonburi’s Mueang district, Mrs. Tuangthip Phawasutchaikit.

BANGKOK, Sept 15 (TNA) – The government is able to put flooding under control while inundation in eastern Bangkok results from unusual torrential rain, according to Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda. Answering a question on flooding in eastern Bangkok and other areas from the Pheu Thai Party, Gen Anupong said there were flooding and drainage problems because a monsoon trough and the southwest monsoon brought heavy rains to areas below dams. The government was discharging water from the Chao Phraya River into the sea and would be able to cope with deluges of water if there were a few more storms in the Chao Phraya river basin, the interior minister said.

BANGKOK (NNT) - Siam Commercial Bank’s Economic Intelligence Center has readjusted up its projection for Thailand’s GDP growth at 3% this year and 3.7% next year, thanks to the recovery of tourism and private consumption. Mr. Somprawin Manprasert, SCB’s First Executive Vice President, Chief Economist, and Chief Strategy Officer of the Economic Intelligence Center said the adjustment was made to reflect the revenue from the tourism and related sectors, and continuous growth in private consumption. According to the EIC, Thailand is expected to welcome 10.3 million international visitors this year, and 28.3 million international visitors next year. The EIC expects however for the Thai economy to take another 2 years to recover at full speed, and for the country’s Monetary Policy Committee to further raise the policy rate at increments of 0.25%. The Monetary Policy Committee is expected to make these changes in September and November, making the policy rate reached 1.25% towards the end of this year. The committee is expected to readjust the policy rate three times next year until the rate reaches 2%. Thailand’s economy continues to face challenges from the global economic slowdown, particularly in the United States and European Union which suppresses the country’s exports and investments. The zero-Covid policy and property crisis, together with the high inflation rate affecting the purchasing power of households and businesses, have contributed to higher than the expected economic slowdown in China. Uncertainties in Thailand’s politics may affect the confidence in the manufacturing and investment sectors, making it necessary for the government to continue providing help to the vulnerable population.

(Photo by Jack TAYLOR / AFP) As if political pundits these days didn’t have enough to chew on, Prayut government’s top legal expert Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam on Monday opened what might seem to be a new political Pandora’s Box.
