Seven Sports Officials Arrested for Fraudulent Bus Repair Claims Worth 2.7 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Seven Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) sports officials have been arrested for allegedly falsifying 28 bus repair claims, causing a financial loss of 2.79 million baht to the state. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), in collaboration with the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), launched an investigation into fraudulent procurement practices within the Sports Division of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. Following their inquiries, officials arrested seven suspects at the Sports Division office in Din Daeng, Bangkok, identified as: 1. Damrong – Arrested under Corruption and Misconduct Court Warrant No. J.19/2568 2. Phumin – Arrested under Warrant No. J.20/2568 3. Komkrit – Arrested under Warrant No. J.21/2568 4. Patinya – Arrested under Warrant No. J.22/2568 5. Sirikan – Arrested under Warrant No. J.25/2568 6. Apinan – Charged but not yet detained 7. Suchawadee – Charged but not yet detained They are accused of misconduct in public office, falsifying official documents, and engaging in corrupt practices, in violation of Sections 157 and 162(1)(4) of the Criminal Code, as well as Section 172 of the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption (2018), in conjunction with Section 83 of the Penal Code. The fraud was uncovered following an audit by the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), which detected irregularities in bus repair contracts for five 45-50 seat air-conditioned buses under the Sports Division’s administration. The investigation found that between 2022 and 2024, officials had falsely approved payments for repairs that never took place. Initially, auditors identified 11 instances of fraudulent claims, but further investigations by the PACC and BMA revealed 12 additional cases. The BMA then uncovered five more, bringing the total to 28 fraudulent transactions amounting to 2,790,748 baht. The scheme allegedly involved forging repair invoices, inflating costs, and submitting false documentation for approval. The seven accused officials were responsible for handling procurement, forging price quotes, and authorising the fake transactions. On 22 November 2024, the BMA filed an official complaint with the Anti-Corruption Division of the CIB, leading to arrest warrants being issued. On 12 March 2025, the seven suspects voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. They have been formally charged, and investigations are ongoing. During initial questioning, all suspects denied the allegations. Authorities are expected to conduct further inquiries and legal proceedings as they gather additional evidence. -- 2025-03-13 -

Is Earth round or flat ?
The Earth's curvature is typically expressed in terms of drop per distance, radius of curvature, or sagitta (chord height difference). Here are a few ways it's quantified: 1. Drop Over Distance A common approximation is: Over 1 mile (1.61 km), the Earth's surface drops about 8 inches (20 cm). Over 10 miles (16.1 km), the drop is about 66.7 feet (20.3 m). Over 100 miles (161 km), the drop is about 6,667 feet (2,032 m). The formula for the drop d due to curvature over a distance x on a sphere of radius R is: d=R−R2−x2 For Earth, where R ≈ 3,959 miles (6,371 km), you can compute the drop for any distance. 2. Radius of Curvature The Earth's mean radius is 6,371 km (3,959 miles). This value is used in many geophysical and engineering calculations. 3. Sagitta (Height of Arc Over a Chord) If you draw a straight line (chord) between two points on Earth's surface, the maximum height h of Earth's curvature above the chord is given by: h=x22R where x is half the chord length. Would you like a specific calculation for a given distance? -
