WrLife still ok?
This from the Broker, I posted it earlier: Member 482 Gender:Male Location:Bang Saray Author Posted Friday at 03:02 PM (edited) Had some email exchange with my broker and this is the bottomline according to them. "To clarify, the changes related to coverage for specific and degenerative diseases will be implemented upon your policy renewal." For WrLife renewal means also extension of a existing policy. So new members are affected but also EXISTING members. Edited Friday at 03:02 PM by Henk Langeweg spelling -

Sakaeo Immigration Police Arrest Woman for Smuggling Chinese National into Thailand
In a joint operation, Sakaeo Immigration Police intercepted a Thai woman allegedly hired to transport a Chinese national illegally across the Thai border from Cambodia. The arrest followed a tip-off from Cambodian sources, with authorities stating that the woman had been paid by a broker to assist in smuggling the man into Thailand. The operation unfolded on October 29, when Sakaeo Immigration Police, led by Police Colonel Napattarapong Supaporn, received a report from Colonel Anothai Jindamanee of the Klong Luek Police Station. Intelligence from Cambodian informants indicated that a Chinese man planned to cross into Thailand through a natural channel near Poipet and travel to Bangkok. Authorities were alerted to a black Mercedes-Benz C300e with Bangkok license plate, which was reportedly waiting at the Star Plaza near the Klong Luek border checkpoint in Aranyaprathet District. In response, Police Lieutenant Colonel Amornsak Saengwan and Police Lieutenant Colonel Pruek Chotiprukchukul mobilised an investigative team to collaborate with local police and military units. Officers later spotted the Mercedes leaving the shopping plaza and heading toward a bypass road towards Bangkok. The vehicle was intercepted at a red light near Tha Kham intersection, where they detained the driver, identified as Ms. Sutthichan Chawintrametanon, 32, a resident of Bangkok. Inside the car, police found Mr. Chen Wangshuo, 28, from Jiangsu, China, who was carrying a Chinese passport without an entry stamp for Thailand. During questioning, Ms. Sutthichan claimed she was merely hired to drive Mr. Chen from Star Plaza to Bangkok. Mr. Chen admitted to illegally crossing the border after paying a Cambodian broker 250,000 baht in transportation and facilitation fees. He recounted his journey from China to Vietnam, then Cambodia, and finally across the border into Thailand, intending to visit a friend in Bangkok. The authorities detained both the driver and passenger and seized the Mercedes as evidence. They are conducting further investigations to determine if Mr. Chen has any criminal history or links to the “grey Chinese” networks operating in Thailand.

Spain Faces Devastating Flooding: 95 Dead, Rescue Efforts Continue Amid Growing Fears
Spain is grappling with its deadliest flood disaster in decades as intense rainfall has claimed at least 95 lives, with many more people still missing. The catastrophic floods, which began on Tuesday, have ravaged the eastern province of Valencia and beyond, submerging communities and leaving a path of destruction. The torrential rains triggered flash floods that overwhelmed the region, destroying bridges and buildings and forcing many people to cling to trees or seek refuge on rooftops. As President Pedro Sánchez declared three days of national mourning, the severe weather continued, further complicating rescue efforts. Expressing deep sorrow for the victims, Sánchez addressed the nation on Wednesday, saying, “The whole of Spain weeps with you… we won’t abandon you.” Officials fear the death toll may rise as the number of missing persons remains high. Of the 95 deaths confirmed so far, 92 occurred in Valencia, two in the neighboring region of Castilla-La Mancha, and one in Málaga. The latter involved a 71-year-old British man who passed away in the hospital after being rescued. The disaster has become Spain’s deadliest flooding event since 1973 when catastrophic floods claimed at least 150 lives in the country’s southeast. For Patricia Rodriguez, the chaos unfolded in a nearby motorway where drivers banded together to escape on a raised central divider. “Thank goodness no one slipped because if anyone had fallen, the current would have dragged them away,” Rodriguez told *El País*. Another resident recounted the destruction in his town of La Torre, where friends had lost their homes, and cars floated along streets. In Horno de Alcedo, just outside Valencia, Mayor Consuelo Tarazon described how floodwaters rose by over a meter in a matter of minutes. “The currents were so quick – and we called the emergency services who started rescuing some people who had water up to their necks,” Tarazon shared with *BBC Newshour*. Spain has deployed over 1,000 troops to assist with ongoing rescue efforts, although many areas remain cut off due to flooded roads, power outages, and disrupted communication lines. The European Union responded quickly to Spain's crisis, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen activating the Copernicus satellite system to help coordinate rescue teams. Neighboring European countries have also offered additional support. Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles called the floods "an unprecedented phenomenon" earlier on Wednesday, acknowledging that while various factors contribute to flooding, the intensifying effects of climate change make extreme rainfall more likely. As Spain faces this tragic loss and destruction, the country is bracing for a challenging recovery effort in the weeks and months ahead. Based on a report by Sky News 2024-10-31 -

Holds weight? Whether or not one bets money has zero to do with whether or not their opinion is correct. Have you ever heard of anyone losing a bet before? -
