Singha Heir Allegations Deepen With New Abuse Claims

Singha Heir Adds Forced Drug Use Claim to Family Abuse Allegations

Environmental activist Siranudh “Psi” Scott has made further allegations against members of the family linked to Singha beer, claiming he was forced to use drugs during a period in which he says he was sexually abused. Psi previously accused his older brother, Sunit “Pi” Scott, of abusing him during childhood and has now discussed the additional claim publicly after consulting lawyers. He also announced that he would change his surname from Scott to Samut, saying he wanted to separate himself from his family history. Representatives from the Thailand Watch Foundation have offered support as he pursues legal proceedings connected to the accusations and a property dispute. Foundation president Panthep Puapongphan said he would accompany Psi to court on June 10 and maintained that the alleged offences remained within the legal time limit for action.
