Pump prices of fuel reduced today

13 Sept 13:22 Key points summarised by AI

Fuel pump prices, including diesel and other refined oil products, have been reduced today.
The reduction follows a decision by the Oil Fuel Fund Executive Committee to lower mandatory contributions from oil refineries due to weakening global oil prices.
Diesel prices dropped by as much as 1.20 baht/litre, with various grades of benzine and gasohol also seeing price cuts.
This move significantly decreased the Oil Fuel Fund's daily subsidies from 1.2 billion baht to 53.7 million baht.

Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings

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.
