The most urgent mission for mankind
21 Sept 04:57Key points summarised by AI
Mankind's unique capacity to resolve global crises is urgently required to address the Ukraine war, which poses a severe threat of widespread destruction, inflation, and poverty.
The Thai people propose an immediate three-month ceasefire during the cruel winter conditions to facilitate peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
An eminent, neutral mediator, such as China, should be invited to facilitate these peace discussions within the three-month timeframe, as both sides and other nations express a desire for peace.
Should peace talks be productive, United Nations member countries would undertake a 'merit-making action' to restore global peace and rebuild Ukraine as a crucial trade link between Asia and Europe.
Despite being a small, neutral country, Thailand asserts its right to propose solutions, likening its initiative to a small mouse helping a lion, emphasizing the global impact of the crisis and the need for collective action for a sustainable future.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Today 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
