Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?

2025: Sees Two Dead from Rabies After Failing to Seek Medical Treatment
Picture from responders. The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has reported on 12 March, that there has been two deaths from rabies in Thailand so far this year. The fatalities, recorded in Chonburi and Si Sa Ket provinces, were linked to individuals who had been bitten by dogs but failed to seek medical attention and receive post-exposure vaccination. Dr Panumas Yanawetsakul, Director-General of the DDC, revealed that between 1 January and 9 March 2025, Thailand had recorded 54 rabies-infected animals from 835 tested samples, representing an infection rate of 6.47%. The highest rates of infection were found in Buriram, Khon Kaen, and Maha Sarakham provinces. Among infected animals, 75.93% were dogs, followed by cattle (16.66%) and cats (7.41%). In response, the Department of Livestock Development has issued temporary epidemic control zones under the Animal Epidemic Act 2015, aiming to contain the spread of rabies within 30 days and prevent further transmission. Dr Panumas reassured the public that rabies is preventable and urged people to follow the “Five Don’ts” to minimise risk: 1. Don’t tease – Avoid provoking dogs. 2. Don’t step on them – Be careful not to startle or step on animals. 3. Don’t break up fights – Do not separate fighting dogs with bare hands. 4. Don’t touch their food – Avoid handling a dog’s food while it is eating. 5. Don’t approach stray animals – Refrain from interacting with unfamiliar or stray animals. Additionally, individuals should avoid handling potentially infected animals and refrain from consuming products such as raw milk from infected livestock. What to Do If Bitten by an Animal The DDC strongly advises anyone bitten, scratched, or licked on an open wound by a dog or other animal to follow these steps immediately: 1. Wash the wound – Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water for 10–15 minutes. 2. Apply antiseptic – Use disinfectant or antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection. 3. Seek medical attention – Visit a doctor to assess the need for rabies vaccination. 4. Observe the animal – Keep the animal under observation for at least 10 days. If it dies, a rabies test should be conducted. Pet owners are reminded to vaccinate their dogs and cats against rabies every year. Regular vaccination helps maintain herd immunity and prevents outbreaks. Local authorities routinely conduct rabies vaccination campaigns, and residents can check with their local administrative offices for information on upcoming vaccination drives. -- 2025-03-13 -

Seven Sports Officials Arrested for Fraudulent Bus Repair Claims Worth 2.7 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Seven Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) sports officials have been arrested for allegedly falsifying 28 bus repair claims, causing a financial loss of 2.79 million baht to the state. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), in collaboration with the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), launched an investigation into fraudulent procurement practices within the Sports Division of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. Following their inquiries, officials arrested seven suspects at the Sports Division office in Din Daeng, Bangkok, identified as: 1. Damrong – Arrested under Corruption and Misconduct Court Warrant No. J.19/2568 2. Phumin – Arrested under Warrant No. J.20/2568 3. Komkrit – Arrested under Warrant No. J.21/2568 4. Patinya – Arrested under Warrant No. J.22/2568 5. Sirikan – Arrested under Warrant No. J.25/2568 6. Apinan – Charged but not yet detained 7. Suchawadee – Charged but not yet detained They are accused of misconduct in public office, falsifying official documents, and engaging in corrupt practices, in violation of Sections 157 and 162(1)(4) of the Criminal Code, as well as Section 172 of the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption (2018), in conjunction with Section 83 of the Penal Code. The fraud was uncovered following an audit by the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), which detected irregularities in bus repair contracts for five 45-50 seat air-conditioned buses under the Sports Division’s administration. The investigation found that between 2022 and 2024, officials had falsely approved payments for repairs that never took place. Initially, auditors identified 11 instances of fraudulent claims, but further investigations by the PACC and BMA revealed 12 additional cases. The BMA then uncovered five more, bringing the total to 28 fraudulent transactions amounting to 2,790,748 baht. The scheme allegedly involved forging repair invoices, inflating costs, and submitting false documentation for approval. The seven accused officials were responsible for handling procurement, forging price quotes, and authorising the fake transactions. On 22 November 2024, the BMA filed an official complaint with the Anti-Corruption Division of the CIB, leading to arrest warrants being issued. On 12 March 2025, the seven suspects voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. They have been formally charged, and investigations are ongoing. During initial questioning, all suspects denied the allegations. Authorities are expected to conduct further inquiries and legal proceedings as they gather additional evidence. -- 2025-03-13
