Beauty queen hires famous lawyer to help squelch ‘spy’ rumours

NationalSep 29. 2020

By The Nation

Miss Universe Thailand favourite, Chayathanus “Cheraim” Saradatta met Saranya Wangsukcharoen, better known as “Lawyer Nida”, on Monday to seek help with rumours that she has placed a “spy” in the contest organising company.

They were expected to hold a press conference on Tuesday at the GMM Grammy building.

Piyaporn Sankosik, executive director of organising company TPN 2018, said the firm had given the contestant a chance to quit on her own so she could return to the contest next year.

However, Saranya said that it was unfair that Chayathanus was being targeted despite there being no confirmation of the accusations.

Chayathanus is a favourite among young people, especially those supporting pro-democracy movements, as she usually makes progressive comments on topics such as the legalisation of prostitution and politics.

Two killed as brand new Samut Sakhon oil refinery bursts into flame

NationalSep 29. 2020

By THE NATION

Two people were killed in a fiery explosion at the GRD Energy oil refinery in Samut Sakhon during a test run.

Police were alerted of the fire at 8am on Tuesday and firefighters spent around 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

Initial investigation showed that parts of the building structure had collapsed due to the damage and they also found charred bodies of company technicians Panya Nantharung, 45, and Supangchanan Saenchai, 27.

The company’s owner reportedly told officials that the refinery was less than two months old and was used to refine old motor oil into alternative fuel for industrial use.

The company had installed new machines two weeks ago and was conducting tests before its official opening. During the test run, eight staff members working in the refinery while the two technicians were standing in front of the oil tank next to the refinery chamber. Nobody else was injured.

“We suspect the explosion occurred at a joint connecting the 800-litre oil tank to the chamber, which heats oil to more than 200 degrees Celsius. This joint may have been damaged and built-up pressure may have caused the explosion,” the owner said. “Initial estimates show the explosion and fire caused damages worth Bt10 million.”

The owner was taken to police station to provide additional information, while forensic staff are collecting evidence to determine the cause of explosion and deaths.

Nonthaburi kindergarten teacher indicted for assaulting students

NationalSep 29. 2020

By The Nation

Kindergarten teacher Onuma Ploadprong, or “Khru Jum”, acknowledged 10 charges at Nonthaburi’s Chaiyapruek Police Station on Monday.

This teacher recently became the subject of widespread anger after CCTV footage showed her assaulting kindergartners, some as young as three years old, at Sarsas Witead Ratchaphruek school.

The teacher was interrogated by police, but reporters were not allowed to speak to the accused woman nor were they given information on the legal process.

The teacher faces two charges – physical assault and violation of the Child Protection Act. Police said further investigation is required to see if she violated the Government Teacher and Education Personnel Act.

These two charges were filed separately from the eight accusations backed by strong evidence submitted by the parents, because police consider them to be different cases.

Two hurt: crane truck rams multiple vehicles in Ubon after ‘brake failure’

By THE NATION

Two people escaped with injuries after a crane truck “accidentally” crashed into five vehicles, a bicycle and a motorbike on Monday evening in Ubon Ratchathani’s Mueang district, causing a traffic jam stretching one kilometre.

When police and rescue staff reached the scene of the accident on Chayangkul Road, they found the Tadano truck had rammed a van, a car, three pick-up trucks, a motorcycle and a bicycle.

According to the police report, the riders of the bicycle and motorbike, aged 51 and 57, were injured. The bicyclist had a few body wounds, but the motorbike rider had both wounds and a broken leg.

Truck driver Amorn Nualkrom, 52, told the police he was driving from Metro Town village to his office when he came upon a line of traffic that had stopped. He pressed on the brake pedal but the truck failed to stop or slow down, so he decided to immediately turn onto the left lane, which had few vehicles. That’s when the accident happened. 

Officers nevertheless took him to a police station for an alcohol check.

Parents demand answers as new footage of classroom assault at Nonthaburi school goes viral

NationalSep 29. 2020

By THE NATION

CCTV footage from a classroom in Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek School showing a teacher dragging a child down the floor by the collar went viral on Tuesday, sparking widespread anger.

Parents also marched to the school on Tuesday morning to demand an explanation. 

Separately, on Monday a Filipino teacher working at the school reported himself to Nonthaburi immigration police claiming he did not assault any children even though a CCTV recording showed him pulling up a child’s arm. 

The man said the child had snot on his face and he was trying to take him to the toilet to clean him up. 

However, the teacher was unable to produce a teaching licence and was sent to Ratchaphruek Police Station to face charges. 

Last week, Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek School came under the spotlight after CCTV recordings showed kindergarten teacher Onuma Ploadprong physically assaulting children by either banging their heads on their desks, pushing them to the ground or twisting their ears until they screamed in pain.

This subject is still a hot issue on social media, with some netizens sharing their personal experience of abuse in school, which proves that this problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
