Registration of people with low incomes, phase two

Officers of Muang Yala District have made haste to get people on low incomes who didn't register for welfare in 2017 to obtain the rights of welfare in phase two of the Sustainable Thai Patriotism Project.

Recently, Muang Yala District officials provided staff to aid the registration of people on low incomes who are handicapped, senior, bedridden, or couldn't travel to register in 2017. The district authority also created a Line group “Welfare Smart Card #2” to provide convenience in communications or in keeping track.

People in the categories mentioned can register for additional state welfare at the district office every day, including the weekend, until 30th June from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The individuals who register must be at least 18 years old, unemployed, or employed but having an annual income of not more than 100 thousand baht in 2016. They can have assets, in the form of cash, government bonds or other such forms, of not more than 100 thousand baht in total; real estate of not more than 100 square meters or an apartment of not more than 35 square meters, or farmland of not more than 3.95 acres or land used for any other purpose of not more than 0.4 acre.

However, those who registered in 2017 but did not succeed have no right to register this time. As for the bedridden, handicapped and seniors, the district authority has assigned a team with subdistrict-level responsibility to check the information of the individuals in the target groups and take the forms to their homes for them to fill out. The state welfare cards will be distributed from October 2018 onward.

PM Prayut concerned about rampant football betting during World Cup 2018

The Prime Minister has expressed concerns about rampant football betting among Thais since the start of World Cup 2018. Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that he wants Thai football fans to watch and enjoy football matches for entertainment, without letting it affect their health or efficiency at work or in the classroom. Most importantly, Gen. Prayut urged the public to refrain from football betting as such a vice can lead to debt and financial problems. The Prime Minister’s concerns are particularly directed at young Thais as many are still innocent and not aware of how something done for fun can lead to major problems in the future. He has instructed the Ministry of Education to promote an accurate understanding of the enjoyment of sports among students while engaging with parents to help keep their children away from gambling. Gen. Prayut added that the police have been monitoring all types of online betting, via websites and mobile phone applications, and he...

More Bueng Kan farmers producing durian

Rubber farmers in Beung Khong Long district, Beung Kan province, have been able to supplement their incomes by growing durians. The rubber farmers have now begun picking durians from the trees as they begin to ripen. One durian plantation owner, Chaiyo Sisaeng, said his durian trees produced more durians this year. They will be harvested and ready for sale in the middle of this month. Chaiyo said the reason he started producing durian was because the weather in Bueng Kan was similar to the weather in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat where he had previously rented a plot of land to grow durian trees. After returning to his hometown in Bueng Kan, he decided to grow some on his land where there are now 125 durian trees. Forty of them have produced durians this year. Chaiyo is expecting to make 20,000 baht in profit from selling the sought-after fruit. Around 100 farmers in Beung Khong Long district alone, now grow durian trees. It is expected that Beung Kan will be abl...

NLA’s vice president denies claims of legislative support for government

A vice president of the National Legislative Assembly has denied claims that the legislature has been trying to help members of the current government in the next election. Mr. Peerasak Porjit, the Second Vice President of the NLA, went with a number of members of the legislature on Monday to meet over 1,000 farmers, who represent growers from 67 provinces, to collect opinions for the drafting of the Rice Act. The NLA said that the new law is not intended to limit the rights of farmers and merchants but to ensure standard practices and a correct understanding among all. According to the draft law, rice buyers will have to register themselves and sellers will have to produce receipts while a system will be set up to collect information for a rice database. The NLA expects the new law to be ready for submission to the main assembly by August 20 before it goes through a normal process. When asked if the new law might appear to be an attempt to help garner support for the current...
