Crime Cambodian Men File Assault Complaint Against Influencer Group After Alleged Mall Attack
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two Cambodian nationals have filed a police complaint on 14 May, against a well-known Thai vocational-style influencer and his associates, accusing them of physically assaulting them inside a prominent shopping mall in the Samrong area. The victims insist they did nothing wrong and deny any links to a gang known as “BK Khmer”. The incident reportedly occurred around 16:00 on 11 May, on the fifth floor of the mall, where the two men were sitting peacefully outside a drinks shop. According to their account, the influencer, recognised online for his association with Thai vocational subculture, approached them with a group of five to six individuals. One of the victims, speaking at Samrong Nuea Police Station, claimed the group grabbed him by the neck, forced him into a chair, and repeatedly punched him in the face. His younger brother, who was with him, was allegedly slapped and kicked, suffering injuries in the process. “I asked them, ‘What did I do wrong?’” the older brother recounted. “One of them asked if we were part of the BK Khmer group. I said no, but they wouldn’t listen. They just kept beating me. Then they dragged me to a corner with no CCTV and asked if I was going to file a complaint. I said yes, I didn’t do anything wrong and don’t deserve this. After that, they disappeared.” He firmly denied any association with gangs or illegal activity, saying both he and his brother are legally employed construction workers in Thailand. “We were just sitting there, not causing any trouble. I want to take this all the way through legal channels. This shouldn’t happen to anyone,” he said. Police at Samrong Nuea Station have acknowledged receipt of the complaint and confirmed an investigation is now underway. The names of the suspects, including the influencer, have not yet been officially disclosed. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-15. -

Politics Constitutional Court Suspends Justice Minister in Thai Senate Probe Shake-Up
File photo courtesy Wikipedia Bangkok's legal drama unfolded as Thailand's Constitutional Court delivered a hammer blow on Wednesday, ordering Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong to halt his oversight of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). This decisive action occurs amidst accusations of his undue meddling in a sensitive Senate election investigation. The unanimous court decision suggests that Tawee's potential interference in the probe concerning senatorial elections prompted this suspension. Alongside this measure, Tawee's position as vice-chairman of the special case board has been temporarily stripped, putting his duties on hold until further notice. In a twist, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, also implicated, maintained his position without suspension. However, the court remains vigilant, noting that while Tawee's oversight was questionable, Phumtham's involvement lacked compelling evidence to warrant immediate action. The saga stems from a petition by senators claiming the ministers overstepped by classifying certain alleged Senate election offenses as "special cases," which they argue encroaches on the Election Commission's domain. Alarm bells were rung, highlighting potential intimidation and a breach of the sacred separation of powers principle. For now, the court has demanded additional insights from pertinent agencies within a 15-day window to bolster its examination. The final ruling remains pending as the judicial body scrutinizes the situation with a magnifying lens. While the court’s immediate focus rests on Tawee, the broader implications touch upon the structural integrity of Thailand’s democratic systems. The court’s demand for more evidence suggests the potential for deeper revelations as this high-stakes investigation continues to unfold. The spotlight remains firmly fixed on the unfolding scenario, awaiting the final resolution from the constitutional bench. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai News Agency 2025-05-15 -

Community Police Officers Undergo Firearms Refresher Training to Boost Operational Efficiency
Pictures courtesy of Sattahip News. Police Colonel Patikorn Sornchai, Deputy Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, presided over a firearms training exercise aimed at enhancing the skills and readiness of police officers from Sattahip Police Station. The session took place at the Naval Special Warfare Command’s shooting range in Samae San, Sattahip District. The refresher course focused on the handling and use of handguns and shotguns, with the objective of improving accuracy, confidence, and overall preparedness during high-risk operations. Leading the reception and coordination was Police Colonel Komsan Kumtunkaew, Superintendent of Sattahip Police Station, who welcomed the Deputy Commander and oversaw participation from 32 officers. In his address, Pol. Col. Patikorn stressed the increasing dangers faced by police officers in the line of duty, particularly during anti-narcotics operations, where suspects often resist arrest. He emphasised that regular training is essential to reducing the risk of injury or death among law enforcement personnel. “Training is a vital tool to help officers become more confident and competent in using firearms. With regular drills and skill development, officers are better equipped to protect themselves and the public while carrying out their duties effectively,” he stated. The training session included a live demonstration by both the Deputy Commander and the Sattahip Police Chief, who showcased precise shotgun techniques to the attending officers. This initiative forms part of the broader strategy to ensure that police officers remain physically and mentally prepared for the challenges of modern policing, especially in high-threat scenarios involving drug-related crime.
