Parents Demand 1.21M Baht Compensation for Children They Didn’t Raise
Relatives of school bus fire victims walks beside the coffins at Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School, Lan Sak, Uthai Thani province, Thailand, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Parents are controversially attempting to claim 1.21 million baht each in compensation after the tragic Pathum Thani bus fire, despite some not having raised the children. This devastating incident on 1st October led to the deaths of 20 students and three teachers from Wat Khao Praya Sangkharam School when their bus caught fire on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. In the wake of this harrowing incident, the Office of Attorney-General (OAG) reports challenges in compensating families, unveiling a complex web of familial claims. Some claiming compensation reportedly hadn’t been actively involved in raising the children, who were instead nurtured by grandparents or other relatives. This raises an ethical and legal dilemma about rightful claims to such tragic compensations. Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, a lead figure at OAG's office for rights protection, emphasises that established processes aim to ensure justified distribution of funds to legitimate claimants. While the intention is to aid bereaved families and those injured, the complication of absent parents suddenly appearing to claim funds complicates matters. Concurrently, the National Anti-Corruption Commission is probing potential negligence, scrutinising whether state officials erred in allowing hazardous alterations to the bus, citing illegal gas tank installation as a possible factor in the tragedy. Amid the investigation, the Thailand Consumer Council advocates stricter safety protocols, proposing that buses accommodating 40 or more passengers should have insurance covering at least 30 million baht in potential compensation. This suggestion comes as part of broader efforts to enhance safety for school excursions and bolster public transport standards. Additionally, to prevent scams, the Deputy Education Minister announced that the ministry will centrally manage all donations and aid distribution, offering a safer avenue for compassionate support. As families grieve, these claims and investigations highlight wider social and regulatory issues, pressing a community already in mourning to seek resolutions and justice. -- 2024-10-07 -

White Culture
That's rubbish...by this logic the Chukchas in Siberia would be the most innovative people on earth. Singapore on the equator is far more innovative and developed than many countries in Europe, they have two universities in the top 20 in the world, outstanding achievement for a country of 5 million people. And in the world IQ ranking most of the countries are Asian, none of them near the North Pole. -

The Republican Freak Show
No problem, he'll have doctors who will declare he is as healthy as a 22 year old. If Harris wins this year she just might be up against Liz Cheney in 2028. Might be interesting to save the vids of their joint appearances this year and watch them as they tear at each other's throats when that time arrives. -

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
Rescuers work at the site of a bus that caught fire, carrying young students with their teachers, in suburban Bangkok, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) In the wake of a horrific bus fire that claimed the lives of 20 students and three teachers in Pathum Thani, the nation finds itself embroiled in a heated debate over the safety and viability of school field trips. This tragedy, which unfolded on a seemingly ordinary day, has shaken communities and brought to the forefront pressing questions about transport policies and safety measures for educational outings. On the unfortunate day, a bus carrying students from Wat Khao Praya Sangkharam school in Uthai Thani was engulfed in flames whilst travelling on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. The excursion, aimed at enriching students' knowledge through visits to historical and educational sites, ended in unspeakable loss. An investigation by forensic police revealed that a gas leak, due to a detached fuel line in conjunction with poorly maintained components, was responsible for the fire. Tragically, this glaring oversight highlights the lack of stringent safety checks and protocols for vehicles transporting young passengers. In response, Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob acted swiftly, halting all student trips nationwide. He ordered that any future necessary excursions must involve buses undergoing rigorous safety inspections. Additionally, the Minister suggested reconsidering the nature of these trips, particularly advocating for avoiding long-distance travel and involving parents in journeys involving younger students. Despite the ministerial intervention, opinions on school trips are divided. On one hand, there are arguments for their educational value, supported by Education Minister Chidchob himself. He emphasised that such experiences are integral to student development and learning, suggesting that outright bans could limit educational opportunities. Instead, Chidchob proposed additional safety measures, including mandatory accident-response drills to better prepare students and teachers for emergencies. On the other hand, experts like Thanapong Jinvong from the Road Safety Group of Thailand have pointed out the systemic flaws in current safety practices. Jinvong calls for the establishment of an independent national body dedicated solely to road safety oversight – an entity that could streamline vehicle inspections and ensure compliance with safety regulations across the board. This proposed central agency would mirror the successful model of Malaysia's Institute of Road Safety Research, offering a repository of expertise to prevent such tragedies. The driver of the ill-fated bus, Samarn Chanphut, faced charges after surrendering to the authorities, underscoring the urgent need for more responsible management of school transportation services. Among other proposals is a call for the Land Transport Department to tighten rules governing commercial driving licences, guaranteeing that drivers are adequately trained in handling emergencies. Public reaction has been one of collective mourning and calls for accountability. Parents and advocacy groups demand justice for the victims and immediate reforms to prevent future calamities.

(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Furthermore, the tragedy has prompted political efforts to introduce a public safety bill in parliament, backed by influential figures such as Suchatvee Suwansawat. If enacted, this legislation would establish a dedicated committee on public safety with a mandate to improve safety protocols and enforce compliance. While the tragedy has initiated this crucial discourse, many believe that the solution lies not in curtailing educational trips but in robust policy reform and enforcement. Increased scrutiny and improvement in public bus safety standards are imperative, as is better training for both drivers and students on emergency protocols. This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and accountability in safeguarding young lives, prompting a pivotal moment for change in transport safety across the nation. As grief envelopes communities, the hope remains that decisive action can prevent similar tragedies in the future, ensuring that educational excursions remain safe and enriching experiences for all students, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-10-07 -

One is amused by the verbal antics of the Harris lovers that have to have realised that they were sold a pup not once but twice. One can only imagine the language they'd use had it been Vance that "misspoke". -

IMO that is not the issue. It would be a convenient excuse to investigate those about whom they have suspicions of illegal activities. If people don't want to be investigated, don't break the law, even if it's only smoking weed. Law abiding citizens have nothing to fear on that score. Anyway, if she is a good parent, why is she smoking anything? Did she and he abstain for her entire pregnancy? -
