2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
I can believe that! Seems to be getting worse by the year. Nothing like years ago but now worse than ever. Lost all respect for all government services. With Mr. T around now God help us all. -

2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
Not sure what country seems more lost and in a complete daze Thailand or America. But I agree thought a few times might have to visit the office in the states just to get their attention. Total space cases as of late. -

Politics Ruangkrai Asks NACC to Probe PM Over Shares, Land Claims
Picture courtesy of Amarin Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, political activist, has filed a petition with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) seeking an investigation into whether suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra violated constitutional and ethical standards by serving as a director and shareholder in Thames Valley Khao Yai Hotel Co., Ltd. Ruangkrai cited Section 89(2) of the Thai Constitution, which stipulates that a prime ministerial nominee must not possess any prohibited characteristics under Section 160. Section 160(4) and (5) require ministers to be “manifestly honest” and to refrain from “serious breaches of ethical standards.” According to official documents, Paetongtarn paid for her shares in the company on 10 October 2013, investing 199,999,990 baht, and as of 24 April 2024, held 19,999,999 shares, around 50% of the company’s registered capital. The business operates on four land plots in Moo Si subdistrict, Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima. The plots were originally documented as Nor Kor 3 (N.K.3) land, later converted to Nor Sor 3 Kor (N.S.3 Kor) titles. Ruangkrai alleges that these plots may be part of a watershed area as defined by a 25 May 1971 Cabinet resolution. He referred to a previous NACC ruling against land officials for issuing title deeds in a similar nearby area. If the company’s land is indeed classified as watershed, he argues, title deeds could not lawfully have been issued, potentially rendering Paetongtarn ineligible under Section 89(2) at the time of her nomination as prime minister. He further claims that despite having raised the matter with the Interior Ministry, no action was taken, prompting him to escalate the matter to the NACC. He has asked the commission to determine whether Paetongtarn’s past role as shareholder and director constitutes a constitutional breach, a serious ethical violation under clauses 8, 17 and 27, and to consider petitioning the Supreme Court to remove her from office. If found guilty, Paetongtarn could face permanent disqualification from political office under Section 235 of the Constitution, lose her eligibility to stand for election and be stripped of her voting rights for 10 years.

Community Discovery of Newborn Abandoned in Factory Bathroom Bin
Picture courtesy of SiamNews A heartbreaking scene unfolded on the morning of 11 August, at a factory in Uthai district, Ayutthaya, when a newborn baby boy was found abandoned and lifeless in a plastic bin inside the women’s restroom. The infant, estimated to be born at 8 to 9 months’ gestation, was discovered at around 11:30 by factory staff. Police Lieutenant Colonel Pallop Intharaset from Uthai Police Station was alerted to the scene, where the baby’s body lay covered with sanitary pads and blood-stained tissue paper. The infant was fully developed with all physical characteristics but showed no signs of life. The umbilical cord was still attached, indicating the baby had been born very recently before being callously discarded. Rescue teams from the Ayutthaya Ruamjai Rescue Foundation and Ayutthaya Emergency Services responded, carefully recovering the infant and transporting him to Uthai Hospital for a preliminary autopsy. Authorities aim to confirm the exact age and cause of death. Police are cooperating with factory management to review personnel records and CCTV footage near the restroom to identify the mother and uncover the circumstances behind this incident. The discovery has deeply shaken staff and emergency responders alike, many moved to tears, particularly given that the following day is Thailand’s National Mother’s Day, a time when families nationwide honour the love and sacrifices of mothers. This newborn never had the chance to open his eyes or feel the warmth of a mother’s embrace. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-08-12- 1
