Thailand to build own trains, expand rail network to 7,500 km
Agree that was a crazy idea that only will cost taxpayers mony, but some generals will take nice backhanders from this scheme. And the sad part is they will never be used. -

Thai Freshman Still in Coma Six Months After Brutal Hazing Incident
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath A 19-year-old university freshman in Thailand has been in a coma for six months following a brutal hazing incident in April. The assault took place at a university in Bangkok, where an older student admitted to kicking the victim in the chest during the hazing ritual. The student's mother, Thanawan Pannoppha, expressed her frustration through Channel 7, revealing that no parties have accepted responsibility for her son's condition. The incident occurred on university grounds, and he is now in a hospital in Pathum Thani province, near Bangkok. Thanawan initially received a call from a university professor on August 23, claiming her son fell from a fourth-floor staircase and was transported to the hospital. However, upon arrival, she saw doctors performing CPR on him, raising suspicions as she doubted a fall could result in such life-threatening injuries. Medical staff informed her that her son had stopped breathing before reaching the hospital and was subsequently resuscitated. A few days later, on August 28, a fellow student confessed to Thanawan that her son was kicked in the chest, which led to a seizure and prolonged unconsciousness. She reported the confession to Dusit Police Station, though the investigation has seen little progress. The university has not taken any responsibility, citing an absence of security cameras and witnesses at the hazing location, on the building's fifth floor. Determined to uncover the truth and seek justice for her son, Thanawan challenges the university's claims. Financially challenged, she depends on public healthcare for her son's treatment, who remains on life support. Superintendent Nathatchapong Kiriram of Dusit Police Station insists that police efforts continue, with evidence collection underway. This tragic case underscores concerns about hazing practices and safety oversight in educational institutions. -- 2024-10-26 -

Thai Navy's Submarine Agreement with China Nearing Completion
File photo courtesy: GVA Thailand's Defence Minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, announced last night that the Navy's protracted plan to acquire a Chinese-built S26T submarine is expected to be finalised soon. This long-delayed purchase from China Shipbuilding & Offshore International involves substituting the initially planned German engine with a Chinese-made one. Acknowledging mixed reactions, Phumtham emphasised considering the entire Thai-Chinese diplomatic relationship alongside the submarine deal. He reassured that despite challenges, the agreement, spearheaded by previous Navy leadership, would likely reach completion during his term at Thailand's defence ministry. Notably, the current purchase contract is set to lapse next month, adding urgency to the negotiations. Complications arose when Navy admirals previously advocated switching from the German MTU396 engine to the Chinese-made CHD620 engine, despite the latter's lack of deployment in any global naval fleets, including China’s. This choice was influenced by Germany's export restrictions on weaponry to China, restraining direct procurement. Phumtham's confident assurance follows years of uncertainties clouding the submarine acquisition process, exacerbated by geopolitical factors and technological concerns. The mention of steadfast moves toward conclusion suggests a strategic balancing act between defence modernisation and international relations. Apart from the intergovernmental aspects, considerations around technological reliability remain pertinent, with the Chinese engine's unprecedented use in submarines being a notable concern. Yet, the resolution of these issues appears critical to maintaining and potentially enhancing Thailand's naval capabilities in a changing geopolitical landscape, reported Thai Newsroom. Ultimately, Phumtham's remarks underline a commitment to both advancing national defence initiatives and nuanced diplomatic engagement with China, reflecting on broader regional security dynamics. -- 2024-10-26
