webfact Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 A two-day ordeal of domestic abuse in Nonthaburi ended with police intervention after a 13 year old boy mistakenly dialled the emergency number while seeking medical help for his mother. The woman, a landlady, was found locked in a room and severely beaten by her younger, drug-addicted partner who was suspected of infidelity. In the quiet soi of Samakkhi 49, Nonthaburi province, a harrowing incident of domestic violence unfolded, leading to a much-needed police rescue. Yesterday at 7.30pm, officers from Rattanathibet Police Station were alerted to a case of a woman being physically assaulted and confined for two days. Rushing to the scene, they discovered the 49 year old landlady in a physically battered state, her face swollen from the violent attack. The woman, whose full name is withheld for privacy, revealed that her boyfriend, identified only as A, was the perpetrator. He had become increasingly paranoid while under the influence of drugs, convinced that she was secretly communicating with another man. This led to violent confinement in her rental room over two days. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Time to put some distance between you and the drug user... stick around and it won't be a happy ending. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so "Unfortunately, CNB’s latest figures show that the number of new drug abusers remains high. Although there is an overall improvement in Singapore’s drug situation, there is still a record-high number of drug abusers. Individuals, who are aged between 20 and 29, continue to form the largest group of drug abusers in Singapore." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see anyone high as a kite walking around Singapore. You won't hear of any gold shop robberies because he needed to buy drugs ... and so on. Singapore has strict laws and policies when it's comes to drug use and possession. They live by the rule that ... if you use drugs don't come to Singapore. They have the correct response and society's thinking on drug use imo. anyway, each to his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still kicking Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 hours ago, PremiumLane said: hahaha which is utter nonsense, but carry on Singapore is not a drug-free society, but it strives to be one. Singapore adopts a zero-tolerance approach to drugs, which means that it aims to prevent and eliminate drug abuse through a combination of preventive education, rigorous enforcement, and structured rehabilitation12. Singapore’s drug laws are among the toughest in the world, and include the death penalty for certain drug offences34. Singapore’s drug-control strategy has been effective in keeping the drug situation under control, as the number of drug abusers and drug-related crimes are relatively low compared to other countries56. However, Singapore also faces challenges such as the changing drug landscape, the influence of online platforms, and the emergence of new psychoactive substances5. Therefore, Singapore remains vigilant and committed to achieving a drug-free society. 🇸🇬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess their feels are more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
