Thai sprint star Puripol "Bew" Boonson aims for a golden treble (100m, 200m, 4x100m) at the 33rd SEA Games in Bangkok.
He seeks redemption after an injury cut short his title defense in Cambodia, contrasting with his debut hat-trick at the 2022 Vietnam Games.
Fully fit, Puripol is determined to win three golds and break the 10-second barrier in the 100m at his favorite Supachalasai Stadium in front of home fans.
His ambition contributes to the Athletics Association of Thailand's goal of securing 17 titles at the home Games.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 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.
