14 Sept 13:02 Key points summarised by AI

Reconfirm your vaccination booking by following hospital updates, as limited vaccine supply may lead to cancellations or changes.
Be aware that the type of vaccine administered (AstraZeneca or Sinovac) may vary based on age or schedule, with options to wait for a preferred vaccine.
Prepare for your jab by consulting a doctor if you have underlying conditions, getting adequate rest, avoiding alcohol, coffee, tea, and heavy exercise, and postponing if you feel unwell.
After vaccination, avoid strenuous activity, use paracetamol for fever or aches (not NSAIDs), monitor your health for 48-72 hours, and know that compensation is available for serious side effects.

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

Today 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.
