Thai army limits nighttime entry to Sa Kaeo’s Nong Chan
10 Sept 22:29Key points summarised by AI
The Thai Army's Burapha Task Force has imposed a nighttime entry ban (6 pm - 6 am) on Ban Nong Chan village in Sa Kaeo province, effective June 28, for security reasons.
This measure, described as an escalated security step rather than a curfew, aims to protect residents near the Thai-Cambodian border and prevent unauthorized individuals from creating social media content that could pose security threats.
Residents can only enter during the day with ID cards, and additional barbed wire fencing is being erected to seal off natural border crossings in the area.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Today 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.
