I dont understand this law but nevertheless when in Rome do like the Romans do

Forensic expert Dr Khunying Rojanansunanwas arrested today in a sweeping police action designed to put an end to malicious rumors about His Majesty the King's health, which were blamed for a sell-off in the SET last month.

According to police, Dr Pornthip stated in a 2004 interview for Channel News Asia that “everyone must die sometime.” The statement was made in response to a question about how she felt about the importance of her job as a forensic investigator.

I take you read this from Not The Nation website?

Apparently you do not know that this website is all parody?

Ridiculous bunch of childlike responses..............to be expected.

I am assuming he never watched "Highlander" on TV.... :)

goodness. next time, be sure to try and do some research before posting. Notthenation is a parody site and their "stories' are not factual.

Thank you for clearing this matter up. After subscribing to The Nation for several months I was under the impression that The Nation was a parody newspaper and the "stories" not factual.

Checked out the notthenation website, and boy, what a laugh!

Given the current climate in LOS it's almost understandable that the OP mistook the NTN piece for a real news story.

Says a lot about a country when a parody makes as much sense as reality.

On that basis we in the UK would have believed Spitting Image was a serious current affairs program..............

.................wait a minute, it WAS a p1ss take wasn't it? :)

To be honest, good parody usually succeeds in pointing out very real issues in the things that are being made fun of. So I wouldn't discount is as 'just a joke site'.

> On that basis we in the UK would have believed Spitting Image was a serious current affairs program...

While a fun program, you would learn quite a bit about Britain and British politics watching it, right? Or, watching TheDailyShow.com these days on US politics.

And if Thailand keeps going this way, it may be the ONLY way to voice criticism. The Porntip story is indeed a brilliant example; you can NOT tackle the underlying topic in any other way, and wouldn't advocate doing so for any journalist, scholar, blogger or forum poster.
