Mall Apologizes After 2-Year-Old’s Electric Shock From Decorative Lights
Picture from responders A popular shopping mall in Samut Sakhon has issued a public apology following an incident in which a 2-year-old child was shocked by decorative lights, leading to the child being admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). The incident, which occurred on 24 December, has sparked widespread concern, with the mall’s management clarifying their stance and actions. The incident was first reported by a well-known Facebook page, “Ee So Kha Yee Aek,” which stated that the child, aged 2 years and 6 months, was shocked while holding onto a railing adorned with festive lights. The child was subsequently rushed to the ICU. According to the post, the mall’s management initially stated that the lights were functioning properly and blamed the child for touching the lights. The post also claimed that the mall did not offer compensation beyond covering medical expenses, although they would not provide additional compensation for damages. In response, Central Mahachai Mall issued an official statement expressing deep regret over the accident. The mall clarified that the incident was a “force majeure” situation and that immediate action was taken to ensure the child received proper medical care. Upon the child’s arrival at the hospital, they were closely monitored, and the mall confirmed it had been in constant communication with medical staff throughout the child’s treatment. The statement further revealed that doctors diagnosed the child with mild swelling and redness at the fingertip, with no long-term effects anticipated. The decision to admit the child to the ICU was a precautionary measure to monitor the child’s condition for 24 hours, and the child was reported to be stable with no abnormal symptoms. The mall emphasised its commitment to safety and customer care, stating that it was fully dedicated to maintaining high safety standards. It also acknowledged the public’s concerns and vowed to consider any useful suggestions to improve service and build trust with its customers. The mall concluded the statement with an apology for the incident, thanking customers for their ongoing trust and support. -- 2024-12-26 -

Zelensky condemns 'inhumane' Christmas Day attack
That's what happens when using western supplied missiles in Russia. Would they have been less destructive had they been sent on a different day? Ukraine's air force said it had detected 184 missiles and drones, but many were shot down or missed their targets. Huh? I distinctly remember posts on this very subforum claiming that Russia had run out of missiles. I guess someone got it wrong, Ukraine perhaps? -

Thaksin Predicts Pheu Thai Govt To Last Full Term Amid Challenges
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath In a recent statement from Chiang Mai, Thaksin Shinawatra, an influential figure in Thai politics, confidently forecasted that the Pheu Thai-led coalition government, helmed by his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra, will persevere through its full four-year mandate until 2027. Despite the potential for intracoalition disputes, Thaksin assured that these would be manageable, hinting at the party's resilience and adaptability among its members. Central to Thaksin's optimism is the ability of Pheu Thai, the coalition's dominant party, to mitigate tensions, particularly with Bhumjaithai, the second largest coalition partner led informally by Newin Chidchob. One major sticking point lies in the approach to amending the constitution. Pheu Thai favours a single-tier referendum while Bhumjaithai pushes for a double-tier system, showing a clear divide on procedural preferences. Nonetheless, Thaksin underscored that such differences would not endanger the alliance, dismissing speculation that Bhumjaithai would be expelled. Thaksin's stance appears to be one of cautious optimism, aiming to reassure both supporters and critics of the coalition's stability. In a hypothetical political crisis, Thaksin expressed confidence that Paetongtarn would maintain her role as Prime Minister without resorting to dissolving the House and prompting an early election. Her leadership, according to him, will stay firm throughout the legislative term, reflecting her father's strategic influence behind the scenes. This endurance is contextualised by Thaksin's personal history with Thai politics. Both he and his sister Yingluck Shinawatra were previously deposed from the premiership in 2006 and 2014 coups. Despite this historical backdrop, Thaksin expressed his belief that a military coup is unlikely to challenge his daughter's administration. Further countering his critics, Thaksin rejected claims of covertly controlling his daughter's government. In his characteristic manner, he encouraged those accusing him of undue influence to pursue legal avenues, if justifiable. For those tracking developments in Thailand's political landscape, Thaksin's assertions provide a glimpse into the delicate dynamics of the current coalition, valued for its estimated budget management skills worth over 6.3 trillion Baht. The coming months and years will test whether this coalition can indeed fulfil its term, balancing internal differences against the backdrop of Thailand’s broader political tensions, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-12-26
