A draft bill, aimed at protecting certain groups of people against discrimination and drafted by 10 people groups, which has been signed by 12,116 supporters, was submitted to Thailand’s House of Representatives today (Wednesday).

 

Somboon Uthaiwiankul, secretary to House Speaker Chuan Leekpai, received the draft bill and said that he will check the authenticity of the signatures and then submit it to officials for inclusion in the meeting agenda and may later invite representatives of advocacy groups to the House to join meetings during the consideration of the bill.

 

He suggested, however, that the bill would have a better chance of being considered and endorsed by parliament if it were to be proposed by a cabinet minister or a political party.

Not included  "dirty foreigners"   who can be legally discriminated against because its in the "interest" of the country   and coming shortly discrimination against so called "Anti-Vaxers"

So it is official?

Not all Thais are equal in the eyes of the law.

We know the answer to that already, just look at who's in jail and who's residing in Dubai/London.
