Crime Bangkok Moto-Taxi Rider Tries to Run Over Passenger
Picture courtesy of Channek 8 A Bangkok motorcycle taxi rider allegedly tried to run over a passenger who complained about his reckless driving. The scary scene unfolded outside a hotel in Soi Sukhumvit 13, leaving the passenger shaken and seeking justice. The 41-year-old victim, Aunyamanee, shared her terrifying story with the non-profit group, Saimai Survive. The incident took place around 2 a.m. on the 20th of August, beginning with a ride from the On Nut area, which was fraught with danger due to the rider’s alarming behaviour. During the journey, the rider reportedly ran red lights and sped excessively, ignoring Aunyamanee’s pleas for a safer ride. Aunyamanee arrived at the wrong location, even though she had correctly inputted the destination in the app, and paid the 57 baht fare via mobile banking. However, when she confronted the rider about his hazardous conduct, he became visibly irate. A heated exchange ensued, with the rider justifying his actions by claiming he was in a rush to complete more trips and expressing frustration over the cheap fare. Tensions escalated when the rider allegedly revved his engine and attempted to drive towards her, narrowly missing her in a shocking act that was partially caught on camera by nearby witnesses. The rider then fled the scene as onlookers began recording. In response, Aunyamanee reported the incident to Lumpini Police Station, submitting video evidence to support her case. Ekkaphop Lueangprasert, the founder of the watchdog group Saimai Survive, has vowed to follow up on the incident. He is urging police to scrutinise CCTV footage along the rider's route to verify alleged traffic violations. As the enquiry continues, the identity of the rogue rider is still under investigation, adding another layer of urgency to the unfolding case. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-08-22 -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
Wherever they go, they bring strife to the local government. Yes... I simply 'nudged that door ajar'... Palestinians, who arrived in Lebanon in large numbers after 1948 and again in 1967, quickly established armed factions that became deeply enmeshed in Lebanese politics. Their presence exacerbated existing sectarian tensions and contributed significantly to the outbreak and prolongation of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990). While they were not the sole cause of the conflict, Palestinian militancy and the PLO’s semi-autonomous operations created profound instability, particularly in the south and in urban refugee camps, and challenged the authority of the Lebanese state. A similar pattern occurred in Jordan, where the influx of Palestinian refugees after 1948 and 1967 eventually led to the Black September conflict of 1970–71. Armed Palestinian groups openly challenged King Hussein’s authority, prompting a brutal crackdown, the deaths of thousands, and the expulsion of many militants to Lebanon. Unlike in Lebanon, however, Jordan eventually integrated most Palestinians, granting citizenship and allowing them to participate in society, though only after forcefully reasserting state control over armed factions. These examples underscore a recurring reality: in both Lebanon and Jordan, the presence of armed Palestinian factions has historically been a source of major political, social, and security crises for their host countries. While Palestinian refugees have often been victims themselves, their militancy and lack of integration have repeatedly destabilised the states in which they sought refuge. I often wonder how many pro-Palestinian advocates are truly aware of this history. If we argue that Palestinians are simply fighting for their “home” i.e. the "Free Palestine" movement... then what is the practical solution? Would they insist on a single state that effectively eradicates Israel, or would they accept a two-state solution? Many in the West seem naive if they believe Palestine can be “free” under any arrangement other than Israeli oversight with Hamas, and other militant groups, removed. History demonstrates the risks of leaving armed factions unchecked: as Jordan showed during Black September, only decisive military action was able to neutralise the militants threatening both the state and ordinary Palestinians. It is precisely these armed groups that place innocent Palestinian civilians in such grave danger. -

Trump is warning Europe that he is still Putin’s man
Once again empty words. It’s what we expect of you. Not a great reputation. To be fair, you’re not alone. Typical leftist gibberish. Can you explain why none of the latest meetings was accomplished under the Biden administration? Of course you can’t. -

Rec carpets are nothing new. You haven’t figured that out yet? Your lack of reply to the replies I gave you confirms your posts are invalid. Thank you for the confirmations.
