People’s Party calls on government to revive peace dialogue with the BRN

15 Sept 21:53 Key points summarised by AI

The opposition People’s Party urged the government to revive peace dialogue with the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) to halt the recent surge of violence in the Deep South.
This call comes after a significant escalation in indiscriminate attacks targeting both Muslim and Buddhist civilians, eroding public trust in the suspended peace process.
The party highlights that violence markedly decreases during active dialogues, suggesting the current escalation is due to the year-long suspension of peace talks.
They also propose that the people of the Deep South should be included in the peace process if it is revived.

Yesterday 15:20 Key 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.
