Chinese Driver in High-Speed Collision Wreaks Havoc in Pattaya
Picture courtesy: Daily News A 39-year-old Chinese man driving an Alphard van created havoc in the bustling city of Pattaya, leading to a catastrophic accident that damaged 12 vehicles, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. The police have apprehended the suspect and are conducting an investigation, including an alcohol test. On the 5th of December, Deputy Inspector Lt. Sanan Kotanon of the Pattaya Police Station received reports of a major collision near Thepprasit Road involving several cars and motorcycles. The incident involved a fatality and left numerous people injured. Rescuers and police officers quickly arrived at the scene. Upon arrival, a crowd of shocked onlookers had gathered. They witnessed two pickup trucks that had been severely damaged near a petrol station. About 100 metres further, authorities found a black MG sedan overturned, with significant damage, and tragically, a 30-year-old man was pronounced dead in the vehicle’s wreckage. Nearby lay four damaged motorcycles and a black Chevrolet Cruze, all victims of this devastating collision. Approximately 200 metres away, the original vehicle involved—a luxurious van—was still attempting to flee. It eventually collided with a black Suzuki sedan, which then spun out of control, hitting nearby houses and injuring two foreign tourists. The chain reaction also resulted in damage to a bronze Mitsubishi Pajero SUV. The luxury van, a white Toyota Alphard, was driven by Mr. Zhang Yigong, a 39-year-old Chinese national, who appeared unresponsive and indifferent to the unfolding chaos. He was swiftly detained by police and helpful bystanders. Picture courtesy: Daily News CCTV footage captured sections of the incident, revealing the Toyota Alphard striking the rear of the MG sedan, flipping it over, and continuing to collide with parked vehicles before hitting the Suzuki sedan and the Pajero. The crash eventually halted the runaway van, which crossed the median and ended up in the opposing lane. This chaotic scenario left foreign tourists scrambling for safety as they attempted to escape potential harm. Preliminary findings by Deputy Inspector Lt. Sanan Kotanon confirm a total of seven cars and five motorcycles suffered extensive damage. Mr. Zhang Yigong, the driver of the Toyota Alphard, is being held for alcohol and drug testing to ensure a thorough investigation and legal proceedings that protect the rights of all involved parties. The aim is to provide clarity, accountability, and justice in light of this tragic incident, reported Daily News -- 2024-12-06 . -

Israel Produces New Gaza Deal Amid Trump’s Urgent Push for Resolution
Israel has presented an updated proposal to Hamas, aimed at securing the release of some of the 100 remaining hostages and initiating a ceasefire in Gaza, according to two Israeli officials. This development comes as diplomatic efforts intensify, with input from various players, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who is pushing for an immediate resolution. Israeli officials expressed hope that recent shifts in the geopolitical landscape could provide the momentum needed to break the three-month-long deadlock in negotiations. Specifically, they highlighted the potential killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the stabilization of a ceasefire in Lebanon, and the influence of President-elect Trump as pivotal factors that might reopen dialogue. Although the new framework for the deal does not significantly differ from the proposal negotiated in August, which ultimately stalled, Israeli officials emphasized their focus on implementing the first phase of the agreement with some modifications. Encouragingly, Hamas has reportedly shown a greater willingness to exhibit flexibility and consider a partial implementation of the deal. A Trump adviser told Axios that the President-elect backs the deal if it aligns with Israel’s interests, emphasizing the urgency of the situation given the hostages’ precarious safety. "Trump wants such a deal to be implemented as soon as possible and without delay before January 20," the adviser stated. To bolster these efforts, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, visited both Qatar and Israel in late November, engaging in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani. This aligns with Qatar’s renewed involvement as a key mediator after briefly stepping back from the role. Speaking to Sky News, the Qatari Prime Minister affirmed his contact with Trump’s advisers regarding the ongoing negotiations. "We heard from his team that they want this to be resolved now ... we hope his message will be delivered to both parties. We are trying our best," he said. These remarks underscore Qatar’s pivotal role in facilitating dialogue between Israel and Hamas during a critical juncture in the peace efforts. As the January 20 inauguration date approaches, the international community watches closely to see if this combination of diplomatic pressure and regional cooperation can achieve a breakthrough in resolving the hostages' plight and easing tensions in Gaza.

Silence Amid the Unfolding Crisis: Canada's Struggle to Confront Extremism
For over a year now, Canadians have witnessed a disturbing series of events that demand attention. Since the horrific terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7 last year, supporters of the group have openly expressed views and taken actions that should have sparked outrage across the nation. Masked demonstrators in Montreal openly admit that they are part of Hamas and Hezbollah. “We are proudly saying that we are the resistance of Palestine and Lebanon in Montreal.” This silence has grave implications. History has shown that unchecked antisemitism and extremism lead to the erosion of societal cohesion and the persecution of minority groups. The acceptance—or even passive tolerance—of actions and ideologies that undermine the principles of peace and coexistence is a clear warning sign of societal decay. Yet, the prevailing narrative discourages confronting such dangers, as Canadians have been made to believe that doing so might contradict their progressive values. Despite these challenges, the stakes could not be higher. If Canadians hope to preserve the values and freedoms that define their country, they must overcome the paralysis of guilt and fear. They must find the courage to speak out against hatred and extremism, regardless of the potential backlash. The silence that has characterized much of the response to these recent events cannot be allowed to persist. Without action, the cherished ideals and opportunities that have long defined Canada may be lost for future generations. Based on a report by National Post 2024-12-06
