Residents of condo building appeal for help against tenant’s pitbull menace

NationalSep 08. 2020

By The Nation

Residents of a condo building in Pathumthani province have asked the media to help solve the problem of a neighbour who regularly releases seven American pitbulls from the cage to rage all over the building, leaving faeces on the corridors.

After being contacted, media personnel went to visit “Cake”, a 40-year-old resident of Ek Thani Condo Town, on Monday (September 7). She lives on the ninth storey in an apartment with 13 rooms,  painted with faeces of dogs, which keep barking constantly.

Pat Sudjai, a resident on the 10th floor, said that Cake usually released all her seven pitbull dogs every evening.

He and his girlfriend had to sneak out of their room carefully out of fear the dogs might bite them, like their neighbours had suffered in the past.

The flat’s legal person, Kanlayakorn Laoprasert, said that she had warned Cake several times on that matter but she had ignored her warning and the residents had decided to report the situation to the police.

But they could not solve the problem and no local official could help them. Ek Thani Condo Town’s residents then contacted the media to help publicise their issues.

NationalSep 08. 2020

By The Nation

The relatives of a monk, who was behind a car crash in Roi-Et province on Sunday, said he jumped out of his car to punch the victim because he had “uncontrollable” mental issues.

The 39-year-old monk initially crashed his white Honda sedan into a power pole killing passenger Noi Chuenchom, 82, and seriously injuring Onphan Kaew-amphai, 36, before hitting a red Toyota Yaris and driving off.

Noticing that the Toyota was following him, the monk then jumped out of his car to punch the other car’s driver. Witnesses said the monk appeared to be drunk. 

He was eventually arrested and identified as Ramkit Titma, though tests did not show any alcohol in his blood. 

The monk’s relatives then contacted police saying he had a mental condition that made him unable to control his actions.

Police will investigate the matter further but have initially charged Ramkit with driving with negligence resulting in death and trying to flee the crime scene.

US-China conflict casts shadow over SET

NationalSep 08. 2020

By THE NATION

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index on Tuesday (September 8) opened around 1,302.73 points, decreasing by 9.22 points or 0.70 per cent from Thursday’s close.

As of 10.46am, The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index on Tuesday (September 8) fell 10.17 points in morning trading to 1,301.78 points, down 0.78 per cent from Thursday’s close.

On Thursday (September 3), before the long weekend, the SET had closed at 1,311.95, down 3.93 points or 0.30 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt50.337 billion with an index high of 1,322.66 and a low of 1,308.84.

Krungsri Securities analysts said that the stock market trend on Tuesday would be negative. The SET would decrease to 1,300 points, due to investors’ concerns over the trade war between the US and China, which could be more severe in the future after the US banned Chinese company SMIC.

At the same time, the stock market would be pressured by the crude oil price that was lower than $40 per barrel. This was the first time it had fallen below $40 in the past two months, caused by the hurricane situation, investors’ concerns over an economic recovery, and the strengthened US currency.

The securities analysts advised investors to pick stocks of corporations that would grow in the third quarter, such as CPF, GFPT, TU, ASIAN, KCE, HANA, DELTA, HMPRO, GLOBAL DOHOME, COM7, JMT, CHG, BCH, PTG, PLANB, and CBG. It added that TASCO, ECF, and AAV would benefit from the fall in the price of crude oil.

Dollar sales by speculators may strengthen baht

NationalSep 08. 2020

By THE NATION

The baht opened at 31.38 to the US dollar on Tuesday (September 8), strengthening from the previous close of Bt31.44.

The Thai currency would move between Bt31.30 and Bt31.50 on Tuesday and between 31.10 and 31.60 this week, said Jitipol Puksamatanan, head of markets strategy at SCB Securities.

Regarding movement of the baht, the strategist advised investors to monitor the US and Thai stock markets. He said the baht could be strengthened from the sales of dollars by foreign speculators.

This week, the market would monitor the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting to be held on Thursday. The strategist added that the ECB would likely freeze its financial policies while the EU economy is recovering.

In the US, government revenue and public expenditure will be announced on Friday.

In the financial markets, the dollar index rose from 92 points to 93 points last week, after the euro weakened and the US stock market was in “risk-off” state.

The strategist mentioned that relaxation of policies at the ECB meeting would strengthen the dollar. However, the stock market was a factor in weakening the US currency.

The strategist predicted that the dollar index would move between 92.4 to 93.4 points within this week, from the present 93 points.
