      Thailand Postpones Start of Winter Season

      I noticed that this year most of the weather bringing rain has come from the NE rather than the usual SW . So I can at least agree that the usual weather pattern has not occurred.

      Thai millionaire reveals lawyer’s 71 million baht fraud, political links

      A Thai millionaire returned to Thailand from France to take legal action against a well-known lawyer, who allegedly swindled 71 million baht from her. She also disclosed a secret meeting in Hong Kong involving high-ranking Thai politicians. The millionaire, Jatuporn “Madam Oi” Ubonlert, attended an interview with former political activist Sondhi Limthongkul to publicly reveal the details of the issues with prominent lawyer Sittha Biabangkerd. Jatuporn explained that she became a millionaire and bakery owner after winning a lottery in France in 2020, scooping 5 billion baht. Several Thai media outlets reported that Jatuporn donated more than 10 million baht to various organisations and schools during the pandemic. She admitted that she became a fan of Sittha after he successfully brought justice to a former police officer, Jarun Wimul, who had a dispute with teacher Preecha Kraikuan over a 30 million baht lottery prize. Jatuporn asked her Thai secretary, Noi, to contact Sittha, in regards to hiring him for around 30,000 baht monthly to manage her legal affairs. Their relationship grew closer, leading Jatuporn to increase Sittha’s salary to 300,000 baht per month. Jatuporn hoped Sittha would assist her with numerous tasks but his performance did not meet her expectations. Consequently, she ended the contract with Sittha and decided to hire him only for specific cases instead. Sittha attempted to renew the contract by contacting Noi but was unsuccessful. Hong Kong meeting Sittha reportedly invited Jatuporn to invest in an online lottery-selling platform. He informed her that the largest operator of the platform in Thailand was facing a lawsuit and might soon be forced to close, offering them an opportunity to take over the business. According to Jatuporn, Sittha claimed that his business plan was supported by many influential politicians. He mentioned that entering this business was not easy but he could manage it with the backing of these politicians. Jatuporn agreed and transferred 2 million euros (approximately 71 million baht) to Sittha to develop the business. Sittha then arranged a trip to Hong Kong for Jatuporn last year, where she was to meet the influential politicians he had referred to. Jatuporn stated that she met with the current Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, former Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob, and the current Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin. Anutin took her to a dinner with other politicians and Sittha. Anutin and Somsak later denied having a close relationship with Sittha or discussing the lottery-selling platform. Both politicians claimed that their meeting with Sittha and Jatuporn in Hong Kong was purely coincidental. Jatuporn did not disclose the details of their discussions to the public. She only mentioned that nothing came of the meeting and that Sittha’s business plan went nowhere. She demanded her investment cost back but failed. Taking over luxury car Jatuporn said she became convinced she was deceived by Sittha when she discovered the truth about the Mercedes-Benz G-class G400 she asked Sittha to buy. She found that the car cost only 9 million baht, yet Sittha requested 12.9 million baht from her. She added that she did not use the car as she was living in France but the mileage indicated it had already travelled 10,000 kilometres. Jatuporn first used the vehicle during a visit to Pattaya, where she stayed at the Hilton Pattaya Hotel. When she drove the car into the hotel, a security guard informed her that he previously saw a Chinese national using the same vehicle. This Chinese man reportedly caused a disturbance at the hotel, which almost led to Jatuporn being banned from entering with the car. This incident made her suspect that Sittha rented out her car without her permission. Jatuporn also disclosed her suspicions that Sittha used her money to acquire various assets and valuables, and she vowed to pursue legal action against him to the fullest extent. More accusations surface More complaints against Sittha surfaced after Jatuporn came forward to expose his alleged deceitful behaviour. The former suspects in the death of the famous Thai actress, Nida “Tangmo” Patcharaveerapong, were the first group to file additional accusations against Sittha. The former suspects, Wisapat “Sand” Manomaikrat, Tanupat “Por” Lerttaweewit, and Phaiboon “Robert” Trikanjananun, informed media outlets that Sittha volunteered to handle their case but they rejected him due to his dishonest approach to managing it. According to the trio, Sittha urged Por and Robert to place the blame for Tangmo’s death on Sand, who was seated at the back of the boat. However, Robert and Por refused to accuse their innocent friend, rejecting the lawyer’s suggestion. Sittha recently defended himself, denying the allegations and countering that the three were exploiting his current legal troubles to tarnish his reputation.

PAS threatens to sue Thai paper

KUALA LUMPUR: -- Malaysia's hardline opposition Islamic Party (PAS) Wednesday threatened to sue Thailand's Bangkok Post newspaper over allegations that it had instigated Muslims in southern Thailand to rebel against the government.

"PAS categorically deny that either PAS or its Youth Wing is involved, in instigating the Muslims of southern Thailand to rebel against the Thai government," PAS secretary-general Nasharuddin Mat Isa said in a statement.

The charges allegedly published in the Bangkok Post were "designed to tarnish our reputation", he said, demanding the newspaper furnish evidence that the party was involved in activities "designed to disrupt law and order in southern Thailand".

"It is indeed a piece of deceitful and libellous journalism to throw allegations against us while attributing the source of news to an unnamed official who has leaked a (dubious) government report to the press," he said.

"We therefore call upon the Bangkok Post to publish a retraction and apology in a prominent manner in its next issue failing which we shall instruct our legal counsel to file proceedings in a court of law for damages," he said.

Well time for the small party in malaysia (PAS) to make some money i guess. The states that are under their control seems like the forth world (if there is such word).

Anyway, Bangkok post should just ignore them (PAS) just like what the Malaysian Govt does.

A small minority party in the east of malaysia that will try to do anything to get some media attention. As they need it BADLY.
