An investigation has been launched into why there were not enough life jackets onboard the Royal Thai Navy warship that capsized on Sunday, with six people confirmed dead and many more still missing, Deputy Defence Minister Chaicharn Changmongkol said.
Pheu Thai Party MP Pradermchai Boonchuayluea said he will ask the House committee on anti-corruption to look into whether the authorities abused their power by helping a corporal, accused of abusing her maid, join the police force and get other state jobs.
The government has assigned the Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre (SBPAC) to conduct a public hearing on whether to remove the red-whiskered bulbul from the list of protected species, which would allow people to raise the bird for commercial purposes.
