Baby reunited with biological parents a month after hospital mix-up
12 Sept 02:08Key points summarised by AI
A Thai baby girl was mistakenly swapped with a baby from Myanmar at Krathumban Hospital due to staff negligence, leading to a month-long separation from her biological parents.
The father, Anucha, grew suspicious after noticing physical changes in the baby and missing name tags, prompting him to take photos and ultimately demand blood tests.
Blood and DNA tests confirmed the mix-up, leading to the successful reunion of the baby with her biological parents after the true identities were established.
The hospital acknowledged responsibility, offering a 'privilege' to the baby and facing a demand for 200,000 baht in compensation from the father, who also expressed concern over the baby's over-medication.
Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama
Yesterday 15:38Key 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.
