Report Air Force Scandal: Officer Transferred Amid Conscripts Misuse Claims
Picture courtesy of AMARIN TV An air force scandal has erupted as a senior officer faces charges for reportedly exploiting conscripts as GrabBike riders and pocketing their earnings. The accused, a deputy battalion commander from Wing 23 in Udon Thani, was promptly transferred to ensure an unbiased investigation, as per Amarin TV's report earlier this evening (May 14). Air Chief Marshal Prapass Sonjai, a spokesperson for the air force, confirmed the temporary reassignment of the officer involved. This move is aimed at preventing any influence over the ongoing investigation, which is being conducted following a direct order from Wing 23's commander. If the inquiry concludes that the allegations hold merit, strict legal and disciplinary actions are expected. Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal Punpakdee Pattanakul reaffirmed his commitment to uphold the welfare and dignity of conscripts. He stressed that all commanding officers must act ethically and responsibly towards their subordinates, ensuring no undue advantages are taken. The incident underscores ongoing efforts to maintain stringent standards and ethical conduct within the military ranks. As the investigation proceeds, the air force remains vigilant in enforcing accountability within its ranks, setting a precedent for maintaining order and dedication to moral obligations. The case continues to unfold, with all eyes on the outcome of the thorough probe into the misuse allegations. With transparency as a guiding principle, the air force leadership is determined to root out any misconduct. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-05-15 -

Politics Anwar Ibrahim Urged to Ditch Thaksin from ASEAN Advisor Role
File photo courtesy of Siam Rath The Student and People Network for Reform of Thailand has petitioned Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to remove Thaksin Shinawatra from his advisory role in ASEAN. Thaksin, former Prime Minister of Thailand and prominent Pheu Thai figure, faces pressure due to fears he may leverage his position to evade charges linked to lese majeste abroad. The group's concern centres on the potential of Thaksin using his current advisorship to elude justice. Mr. Pichit Chaiyamongkol, the group's leader, emphasised these fears during the submission of their letter at the Malaysian embassy. Thaksin has been in the limelight since his 2023 return from a self-imposed 17-year exile. His subsequent health issues led to controversial parole, as instead of a prison hospital, he spent six months in Police Hospital under what some allege were pretences of critical illness. Adding to the controversy, the National Anti-Corruption Commission is probing Thaksin's medical treatments, hinting at possible irregularities. Critiques suggest his medical stays were a strategic manoeuvre to avoid serving a one-year sentence due to prior convictions. The group believes if his advisorship continues, it could undermine justice and hinder efforts towards reform. A quick-action at the Malaysian embassy saw the group's letter taken by a staff member, though no immediate comment was made. The request to relieve Thaksin of his advisory duties points to ongoing tensions in Thai political spheres as well as within the broader ASEAN context. Summarising the plea, the group is determined that Thaksin not occupy any influential roles while facing significant legal challenges. Their actions stand as a testament to the ongoing scrutiny and controversy over his political legacy in Thailand. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-05-15 -
