SEC told to find online rumour mongers

BANGKOK: -- The deputy prime minister in charge of economics today ordered the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to find out people responsible for online rumour mongering and bring them for punishment after yesterday's free fall that saw the stock market plummeting almost 100 points during the afternoon trade.

Somkid Jatusripitak asked investors not to listen to rumour spread online but stay confident of the potential of the country.

He believed all Thais are concerned about the health of His Majesty, and therefore they should listen solely to announcement by the government.

He also cautioned investors about the rumour so that they would not become tool of those who spread the rumour with ill-intention to exploit the market collapse.

The online rumour mongering triggered panic and fear that caused a free fall of the market after investors, mostly individuals, sold off their shares in panic.

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education.

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an

But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths
