She is a steal. If you are addicted to Bubble Tea, then, in Taipei, this can cost you about NTD50,000 per month, or much more. So, cheap at twice the cost, if you are only paying Bt.30,000.00, per month. -

Report Thai Police Face Scrutiny Over New Patrol Motorbike Purchase
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath The Thai police force's decision to phase out older patrol motorbikes in favour of new models has ignited debate online. The introduction of the Honda ADV-160 scooters has been met with criticism, as many netizens argue existing CBR300 bikes at local stations are still serviceable. Instead, they suggest the allocated funds should be used for maintenance and part replacements, which would be more cost-effective. On 22 May 2025, Wasin Sirikiattikul, advisor to the chairman of Thailand's police committee in the House of Representatives, shared details of the procurement project on his Facebook page. He highlighted the patrol unit's mission to enhance crime prevention, anti-narcotics efforts, and public safety. Picture courtesy of Thai Rath The Honda ADV-160, an adventure scooter, is considered for its agility in urban areas, crowded communities, and rough roads. Its compact size, flexible suspension, and economical engine make it ideal for narrow alleys and heavy traffic, although less suitable for high-speed pursuits. Critics primarily focus on the budget implications, pointing out the high cost of procurement and logistical concerns, arguing that the decision-makers purchasing the bikes are not those who will be using them. This echoes broader frustrations that field operatives simply have to adapt to decisions made by higher-ups. Picture courtesy of Thai Rath The procurement process involves an e-bidding method to acquire 14,442 units, with a budget totaling approximately 1.88 billion baht. The decision aims to replace ageing motorbikes over seven years old, which have become inefficient for 24-hour patrol duties as mandated by the government's urgent policies on crime and drug prevention. Despite these decisions, the criticism highlights a need to consider practicality and budget effectiveness, suggesting that existing resources could be better utilised and budgets spent more prudently.

Convicted Pakistani Pedophile Avoids Deportation From Scotland
Convicted Pakistani Pedophile Avoids Deportation From Scotland A Pakistani pedophile has won a legal battle against efforts to deport him from Scotland after he argued he risks persecution because his crimes were publicized in his home country. Jamil Ahmed, 48, has lived in Scotland since the early 2000s. In 2008 he was convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl aged between 13 and 16 and given a three-year probation order with 240 hours of community service. Five years later he offended again, admitting unlawful sexual intercourse with another girl of the same age range and the sexual assault of a teenager. That second case brought a prison sentence of three years and six months and an indefinite listing on the sex-offenders register. A deportation order followed, yet—through a succession of appeals—Ahmed has managed to stay in the United Kingdom for almost a decade beyond the point at which the Home Office first sought to remove him. At a recent hearing before the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber in Edinburgh, Ahmed reiterated that newspaper reports in both Britain and Pakistan had exposed his identity as a child sex offender and left him vulnerable to reprisals from “religious fanatics”. His counsel told the court that “armed individuals came to the family home looking for him” and that Ahmed’s father had subsequently been shot and killed. The tribunal noted Ahmed’s assertion that “a leaflet in existence containing the same photograph as the newspaper article” was being “distributed by local extremists”. It also recorded his claim that “a First Information Report has been made to the police in his local area on the basis of his crimes; a fatwa has also been issued.” The Home Office disputes that his convictions have been widely reported in Pakistan, but Ahmed produced an expert witness, Asad Ali Khan—an advocate of the High Courts in Pakistan—who maintained that coverage in the Daily Kashmir News appeared genuine. A previous tribunal judge had dismissed Khan’s evidence in 2024, yet Upper Tribunal Judge Jeremy Rintoul has now ruled that the earlier decision was legally flawed because the judge failed to make a “sustainable” finding on the reliability of the expert’s opinion, the authenticity of the newspaper clippings (which were only seen as photocopied cuttings), and the credibility of testimony from Ahmed’s wife. “I consider that, cumulatively, the judge [in 2024] has failed to reach sustainable conclusions with respect to the documents, the wife’s evidence and the expert’s opinion,” Rintoul stated. Ahmed further argues that expulsion would breach Article 8 of the Human Rights Act because he is married, has children and has built a private life in Scotland. The tribunal’s official record notes: “[Ahmed] asserts that he has a well-founded fear of persecution and is at risk of suffering serious harm in Pakistan because knowledge of his crimes have become known in Pakistan and published in newspapers.” It continues: “[He] also claims that his removal from the United Kingdom would be a breach of his Article 8 [of the Human Rights Act] rights as he has a partner and child in the United Kingdom.” With the Upper Tribunal ordering a full rehearing, Ahmed’s future remains undecided. For now, the convicted paedophile who twice violated Britain’s children has again delayed deportation, insisting that the public exposure of his crimes has made returning to Pakistan a potentially deadly prospect.
