By Thai Newsroom Reporters FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER Arthit Ourairat has taken various parties to task for merely talking among themselves about a cabinet reshuffle, electoral formulas and a ”landslide” victory whilst failing to do enough to help the people in trouble nationwide. Arthit posted on his Facebook page to lambaste those parties for apparently preoccupying themselves with probabilities of a cabinet reshuffle sooner or later to fill a few ministerial seats currently left vacant. Arthit, founder of Rangsit University, apparently referred to the Palang Pracharath Party and the Democrat Party, the largest and third largest coalition partners respectively, members of which have scrambled to grab a ministerial seat in the next cabinet reshuffle.

Can Thai tradition of indebtedness, gratitude to parents cause more harm than good? Thai society’s deep tradition of respect for elders means children are always expected to show gratitude to their parents. The long-held custom means children are also barred from taking legal action against an abusive father or mother. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1274232-can-thai-tradition-of-indebtedness-gratitude-to-parents-cause-more-harm-than-good/

Thai society’s deep tradition of respect for elders means children are always expected to show gratitude to their parents. The long-held custom means children are also barred from taking legal action against an abusive father or mother. However, this prohibition came under the spotlight recently when a 24-year-old woman begged a foundation to take her father to court on her behalf. She wanted payback for her beloved cat, which was abandoned by her dad before being run over and killed by a car. While many Thais were shocked by her decision to sue a parent, others were worried about the controversial Civil and Commercial Code’s Article 1562. It states that nobody can file a lawsuit against their parents, no matter what is in dispute.

CNN claims Thai officials allow them on massacre site CNN claims that they were allowed to report from inside the Nong Bua Lam Phu day care centre, the scene of the mass shooting of dozens of children last Thursday, following outrage among media organisations and online. The news agency responded to a tweet by The Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand (FCCT) that “CNN’s crew was filming at the Nong Bua Lamphu daycare centre with other media in a period when the centre’s police cordon had been removed. While filming, three public health officials exiting the building spoke to the team and told them they could film inside. The team gathered footage inside the centre for around 15 minutes, then left. During this time, the cordon had been put back in place, so the team needed to climb over the fence at the centre to leave.” CNN’s statement was in response to The Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand (FCCT), which issued a statement yesterday, saying that the conduct of the CNN news team was unprofessional and a serious breach of journalistic ethics in crime reporting.
