CIB deputy commissioner petitions over alleged unfair police reshuffle
Today 08:05Key points summarised by AI
CIB Deputy Commissioner Maj Gen Jaroonkiat Pankaew petitioned Acting PM Phumtham Wechayachai, chairman of the Police Commission, over alleged unfairness in the recent police reshuffle.
Jaroonkiat claims the appointment process overlooked qualified officers with strong performance records, including himself and others who solved major cases, while promoting those without supporting achievements.
Acting PM Phumtham has acknowledged the petition and committed to forwarding it to the appropriate body for further consideration.
Thananon ‘Jaa’ Niramit: The caffeinated rise of Thailand’s new first lady
Today 14:31Key points summarised by AI
Thananon ‘Jaa’ Niramit, a 39-year-old entrepreneur, has risen to prominence as Thailand’s new first lady through her marriage to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
Hailing from Ranong, she built her entrepreneurial path by founding Jajaa Coffee, believed to be the province's first air-conditioned café, and later expanded to Bangkok with Jaristaa by Jajaa, a 'creative space'.
Her relationship with Anutin began when he visited her Ranong café, leading to a well-established partnership where she accompanied him to key official events prior to his premiership.
As her public profile grows, her declared assets have significantly increased to 56.06 million baht, largely attributed to recent land acquisitions, reflecting her rising financial and social stature.
