Crime Motorcycle Mechanic Shot Dead in Bangkok Following Dispute Over Vehicle Pawn
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 28-year-old motorcycle mechanic was gunned down at his repair shop in Bangkok’s Suan Luang district in the early hours of 9 May, while a relative sustained injuries in the attack. The incident is believed to be linked to a dispute over a pawned motorcycle. Police were called to the scene on Soi Phatthanakan 32 around 01:00. Officers from Khlong Tan Police Station, forensic investigators, a medical examiner from Chulalongkorn Hospital, and rescue volunteers arrived to find the lifeless body of Mr Sukiplee Makeh inside his shop. Mr Sukiplee, dressed in black trousers and shirtless, had been shot five times, once in the head, three times in the torso, and once in the ankle. He was found lying on his back in a pool of blood. A second man, Mr Adul Makeh, 33, the victim’s relative, suffered a graze wound to the neck and was rushed to Vibhavadi Hospital for treatment. Investigators recovered five spent .32 calibre shell casings scattered on the ground outside the shop. According to witness statements, at approximately 21:00 on 8 May, a group of over 10 young men on multiple motorcycles arrived at the shop. They had previously clashed with Mr Adul over a pawned motorcycle. Mr Sukiplee attempted to mediate the dispute, but the situation remained unresolved. The group left, reportedly warning they would return. Later that night, Mr Sukiplee phoned a close friend to explain the altercation and was advised to be cautious. Around midnight, the assailants returned, called out for the victim, and opened fire as he approached, fatally wounding him. The victim’s mother revealed that the conflict stemmed from a motorcycle Mr Adul had taken in pawn. The vehicle was later repossessed by a finance company due to missed payments by the original owner, which reportedly triggered the ongoing dispute. Police are now reviewing CCTV footage from the area and interviewing witnesses to identify the attackers and bring them to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-10. -

Civil war is coming to the Trump movement
The Wall Street Journal's Joshua Chaffin and Zusha Elinson reported Friday that two camps within the MAGA world are emerging and will likely battle for supremacy during Trump's second term: on one side are "tech bros racing to create a new future," with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as the quintessential example, on the other side are "conservative Catholics who yearn for an imagined past," like Vice President JD Vance, who seek to upend the liberal establishment and return America to a "bygone era." According to Chaffin and Elinson, the "dark prince" of the tech wing of MAGA is Curtis Yarvin, a pro-feudalist writer, who has called for democracy to be replaced with a monarch who would rule the United States like a CEO leads a tech company, whilst the conservative Catholic faction upholds ideologies like that championed by University of Notre Dame political philosopher Patrick Deneen. Catholic theologian David Deane told the Journal that Deneen's 2023 book "Regime Change" offered a prediction that the second Trump administration would put a torch to traditionally liberal institutions like universities, the media and the non-profit sector.

Trump’s Threats Push Greenlanders Closer to Denmark
Everyone might have a price. You are the second person on this forum to suggest the price to betray your country is $1 million If you rationalise it, its a really bad deal. In Danish Denmark, if you develop cancer, the Danish health service will take care of you. In America, that $1m is gone. And the rest. Those suggesting $1m really are like the fictious Dr Evil in their understanding of the value of money. Possibly because this forum is skewed towards middle aged to elderly men, driven to living in Thailand because of a low cost of living. Yeah, to that lot, one million of anything sounds like a lot.. $1m doesn't get you that spectacular an annuity. Its ok, but not life changing. So, without casting offensive stereotypes about the Danes, what is your personal threshold to betray your country? £30 million might be mine. Electronic transfer. No suitcase needed. Or another way, how much is your vote worth. You make it sound that you can be brought. You think American citizenship is worth $1m. The American President thinks its worth $5m, just another citizenship for sale. -
