Crime Six Kuwaiti Nationals Arrested for Reckless Motorbike Riding in Najomtien
Picture courtesy of Sattahip News. Police in Najomtien have arrested six foreign nationals for dangerous late-night motorbike riding along Sukhumvit Road near the Nong Chub Tao intersection. All six individuals were found to be Kuwaiti citizens, none of whom were able to produce valid driving licences or vehicle documentation. The arrests were made by a patrol unit from Najomtien Police Station, led by Sub-Lieutenant Thanyawisit Saengpho, along with Police Sergeants Yuranan Prasertsang, Napath Siriphaiboon, and Jirayu Tidthong. The team was conducting routine surveillance in their jurisdiction when they encountered a group of motorcyclists exhibiting reckless and hazardous driving behaviour on the inbound side of Sukhumvit Road heading towards Sattahip. Upon attempting to stop the group, several riders fled the scene, but officers were able to seize six motorbikes and detain their riders. Initial charges filed against the individuals include: • Reckless driving likely to cause danger to life or property • Driving without a valid licence All six motorbikes were impounded as part of the investigation. Najomtien Police Station has reiterated its commitment to public safety and legal enforcement, stressing that officers will act decisively against those who endanger others or breach the law. The incident serves as a warning to all road users, residents and tourists alike, that dangerous driving will not be tolerated. Adapted by Asean Now from Sattahip News 2025-07-31 -

USA Powell Stands Firm: Fed Rates Unchanged Amidst Trump Pressure
ABC video screenshot In an assertive move on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady, deflecting President Donald Trump’s demands for lowering the rates. Fed Chair Jerome Powell brought attention to the Fed’s political independence, highlighting its role in making data-driven decisions insulated from political influence. "Without independence, there’s the temptation to use rates for election advantages," he stated. Following the president's visit to the Federal Reserve last week, Powell described the meeting as amicable, but he remained steadfast in the Federal Reserve’s cautious approach in light of ongoing trade tariff impacts. Powell noted some price hikes due to tariffs but mentioned that their enduring impact on inflation remains uncertain. "We'll act as needed to control inflation," he assured. Despite the pressure, the decision marks the continuation of a seven-month pause in rate adjustments, keeping the federal funds rate between 4.25% and 4.5%. Dissent within the Fed emerged with two governors, Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, expressing a preference for a cut, marking the first such dissent since 1993, reported ABC News. Recent government data showed unexpectedly strong economic growth, which could reduce the urgency for rate cuts, reinforcing the Fed's patient stance. Trump, known for his outspoken criticism, continues to press for lower rates, arguing it would boost the economy and reduce government debt interest payments. However, Powell remains at the helm, with his term set to expire in May 2026. The Fed’s dual mandate of controlling inflation and maximising employment remains central to its strategy. While inflation saw a slight rise, it stayed below its June 2022 peak. Powell hinted at the possibility of future rate cuts, contingent on economic data, and left room for adjustments in upcoming meetings. In the ongoing dispute over spending on the Fed’s headquarters renovation, Trump criticised the project’s cost overruns. Despite this, the Fed affirms the renovation will eventually cut costs by consolidating operations. Powell’s recent comments at the European Central Bank forum in Portugal hinted at potential shifts based on evolving economic indicators, keeping all options on the table for upcoming policy meetings. The Fed’s current conservative course suggests vigilance amidst global economic uncertainties, ready to pivot should inflation threats or economic circumstances demand. As the year progresses, all eyes remain on the data to dictate the Fed's next steps. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ABC News 2025-07-31 -
