Administrative Court goes online to provide 24-hour service to public

13 Sept 06:46 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Administrative Court launched a 24/7 online e-Court system, enabling the public to lodge complaints and petitions digitally.
The initiative aims to significantly enhance public access to court services and elevate Thailand's justice process to international standards.
Users must register and verify their identity using ID card details linked to the national census database before accessing online services.
The system allows complainants to file and track their cases remotely, eliminating the need for in-person court visits.
Misuse or abuse of the online platform will result in account deletion and permanent inability to use the system.

Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama

Yesterday 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
