Vaccination of employees in social security scheme to resume on Monday

14 Sept 21:34 Key points summarised by AI

Thai Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin confirms vaccinations for social security scheme employees will resume Monday, earlier than anticipated, at some Bangkok venues.
The initial four-day suspension was prompted by unsuitable, hot vaccination sites and conflicting employee information provided by employers.
Minister Chomklin assures there is no shortage of AstraZeneca vaccine, with improvements made to venues and data discrepancies being addressed.
The Social Security Office aims to inoculate 200,000 employees in Bangkok, having already administered initial doses to 87% (174,193) since June 7th.

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.
