Thailand's Casino Legislation Put on Hold as Opposition Grows
File photo for reference only Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has announced that legislation to legalise casinos in selected Thai tourist destinations has been indefinitely postponed. The move comes amidst significant opposition both within parliament and across various societal sectors. Although the prime minister did not provide specific reasons for the delay, the decision reflects deep-seated resistance to the proposal, despite the government's original intent to stimulate tourism and the national economy. The Pheu Thai-led administration had anticipated debating the bill in tomorrow's House session, but this has now been postponed with no clear timeline for when discussions will resume. Thaksin Shinawatra, the influential de facto leader of Pheu Thai and Paetongtarn's father, had quietly supported the push for casino legalisation, viewing it as an economic boon. However, resistance from coalition partners, including Bhumjaithai and others, has stymied progress. The planned legislation would have permitted casinos in major tourist hotspots like Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui. With the parliamentary session set for a two-month recess, the future of the controversial casino bill remains uncertain, leaving the prospect of legal gambling in Thailand hanging in the balance, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-08 -

Krungsri App - Can't load app after forced Update of App
Where did I say that? The point is that a security app like Kaspersky should not be able to see what you do within your banking app. Otherwise the information could in theory be sent to Moscow. The banking app has to prevent access of other apps into the banking app. -

Gaza Paramedics Shot ‘With Intent to Kill,’ Red Crescent Demands International Probe
Anyone, any military force is capable of lying to protect themselves - I think that is simple common sense to understand that. Its also simple common sense to understand that Hamas are not playing by any rules, ones under which the IDF are being judged. There certainly is no moral highground here, but I can understand why an IDF attacked an approaching ambulance. I can also believe the ambulance did contain a Hamas terrorist. People are asking for verifiable proof / evidence etc.. which is impossible when they can turn around and simply say the IDF was lying. There is a lot of heightened bias involved whenever viewing such events - the optics are often highly distorted, particularly by the varying media sources - they are then simplified and dumbed down in discussion forums such as this were bias takes precedence. Its clear in this thread that we have 'some' very anti Israeli posters and some others who are expressing an understand of why and how this may have happened. I don't think anyone is Anti-Palestine, but Hamas muddy those waters incredibly so its impossible for anyone, intelligence forces, IDF, the Media or ourselves to know whether Hamas have masked themselves as Palestinians, and, as mentioned, in the 'fog of war' mistakes will be made... I'm sure the IDF operated from the perspective that its better to be wrong than dead when mere second are available for decisions to be made.- 1
