Crime Thai Singer Sek Loso Sentenced to 3 Years Without Parole
Wow, that sucks. Didn’t know he was a headbanger like that. Strange ruling though: 2y, 12m, 20 days. Why not just say 3y, 20d? Or perhaps 1y, 24m, 20d, or 36 and a bit months, or 1115 days even? -

Crime Police Operation at Pattaya Bank Linked to Chinese Call Centre Scam
Picture courtesy of TMN. Local residents were left shocked on 20 May, as over 20 uniformed and plainclothes police officers descended on a bank branch located on Central Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya, Chonburi Province. The large-scale operation was led by Police Major General Teerachai Chamnarn, Commander of Region 2’s Investigation Division. Officers from the Region 2 investigation unit and Bang Lamung Police Station conducted a thorough search of the premises, questioned staff and collected evidence in connection with an ongoing investigation into a Chinese call centre scam. Officers interviewed the branch manager and two bank employees responsible for opening accounts. The three were later taken to Bang Lamung Police Station for further questioning. The police presence was part of an extended probe into a recently busted Chinese call centre gang operating in Bangkok. Subsequent investigations revealed that a group of Chinese nationals, all holding tourist visas, had opened over 100 bank accounts at a single branch in Pattaya. These accounts are now suspected to have been used for laundering funds connected to the scam. Initial statements from the bank staff indicated they were unaware that the accounts were being used for illegal activity. However, police confirmed that three arrest warrants had been issued in connection with the case, though no further details were disclosed at this stage. A police spokesperson stated that more individuals are believed to be involved and that the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are currently gathering additional evidence as the case continues to unfold, and more arrests are expected. Adapted by Asean Now from TMN 2025-05-21. -

Report Anutin's Mission: All Thai Kids Back in Classrooms
File photo courtesy Thai PBS World In a groundbreaking move, the Ministry of Interior has set a national mission to eliminate educational inequality by ensuring that all Thai children attend school. Led by Anutin Charnvirakul, the ministry has partnered with the Ministry of Education and various agencies, spearheading a countrywide campaign to return dropout children to classrooms. The thrust of this initiative is rooted in the "Thailand Zero Dropout" policy announced in May 2024, aiming to bring every child back into the educational fold. An essential element of this ambitious plan is the establishment of dedicated provincial committees. These are orchestrated by the Ministry of Interior, which has rallied all provincial governors to form provincial teams. Collaborating intensely with provincial education offices, these teams are essential in tackling the issue directly at the grassroots level. Local administrative organisations, including municipalities and tambons, have been mandated to lead this initiative by setting up specific committees focused on preventing children from slipping through the educational system. Spokesman Manat Suwannarin emphasised, “The goal is clear: no child should be ‘missing’ from the state’s educational care.” The concerted effort includes using a four-step process – prevention, intervention, referral, and monitoring – to identify and reintegrate out-of-school children. Each step represents a critical component of the strategy, ensuring children receive the education they are entitled to. Supervised by the national committee on zero dropouts, the campaign saw a directive sent to the Equitable Education Fund, calling for active participation from local governments. This intervention has already yielded positive results, with the number of out-of-school children reducing from 1.02 million in 2023 to 880,000 last year. However, officials assert that there is much work still to be done to meet the ambitious targets fully. In a nod to success stories, Suwannarin highlighted the strides made by provincial governors in provinces like Surin and Buri Ram. These provinces have showcased how effective local leadership and collaboration across government, civil society, and private sectors can be. They have developed educational networks and adapted learning approaches to cater to students' diverse needs, helping build a more inclusive education system. Deputy Prime Minister Anutin, overseeing the Ministry of Education, has been closely monitoring the campaign. Anutin praised the provinces for their proactive leadership and emphasised the importance of these efforts in achieving the ministry's goal of zero dropouts. The Ministry of Interior remains committed to collaborating with local governments to achieve the Zero Dropout goal. By doing so, Thailand aims to foster a more equitable, inclusive education for all children, reinforcing the state's dedication to leaving no child behind in educational pursuits.
