Thailand’s economy is expected to continue growing amid the inflation crisis, as authorities reaffirm their commitment to addressing all existing challenges.
Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow said he was optimistic that the economy will see sustained growth. His remarks were delivered at the Better Thailand Open Dialogue, during a session focusing on the national and global economy.
The minister said Thailand has seen increased investment over the past five years, particularly in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), with exports remaining the nation’s primary driver for growth.
He noted that growing consumption has led to a rapid increase in household debt at 15%, while the government works to keep the debt ratio at appropriate levels.
Supattanapong added that the government has been successful in reopening the kingdom to international tourists, starting with the Phuket Sandbox campaign on November 1, 2021. Since then, the nation has welcomed some 1.2 million international visitors.
However, Thailand is now facing new challenges in the form of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and rising inflation, leading to a 10-year high in goods and energy pricing. Despite these challenges, the minister pointed out that the country continues to maintain favorable credit ratings.
He also said the government has invested 2 trillion baht to improve infrastructure and support modern development, including the adoption of electric vehicles and modern industries in the EEC.(NNT)

Kashmir newspapers are expected to hit the stands on Thursday, July 20, after the government on Wednesday “apologised” for media curbs and assured Srinagar-based editors that their work won’t be hindered by the heightened security in the wake of unrest that has left over 40 people dead and hundreds injured in the Kashmir Valley.
The government had put curbs on the media on Saturday, July 16, and lifted the ban on Tuesday, saying the decision taken at some “local” level was a “mistake”.
But newspapers refused print runs, alleging that the authorities were putting the onus on them and denying that the government had banned newspaper publications in the valley.

The logjam was resolved in a meeting on Wednesday between Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and editors of Srinagar-based newspapers.
According to an official spokesperson, Mehbooba Mufti urged the media to play “a responsive and proactive role in tiding over the enormous challenges” facing the state and its people.
The Chief Minister told the editors that the government was “committed to the independence of media at all costs and complaints of high-handedness against the press, if any, amid prevailing situation will be looked into”.
“Though there has been no deliberate attempt on the part of the government to impose any restrictions on the publication of newspapers. However, whatever has happened, because of some communication gap, is regrettable,” Mehbooba Mufti told them, according to a statement.

The Chief Minister assured the editors that the government would facilitate “smooth movement of journalists and other newspaper staff to ensure that they can perform their professional duties in a hassle-free manner”.
The editors in a statement said that the Chief Minister “apologised” to them for the decision that was “unintended”.
The editors later decided to resume publication “hoping the resumption will remain unobstructed”. (IANS)


A Government Minister says he’s ‘furious’ with people who ignored safety warnings during yesterday’s storm. Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy, whose department takes the lead on the country’s emergency plans, was responding to reports that swimmers had been spotted at Salthill in County Galway.
The lifeboat was also dispatched off Dundalk Bay after two kite surfers were seen in the water.
But Minister Murphy says their actions were totally unfair:
“Personally that made me furious – we were in here trying to co-ordinate the emergency response to make sure people were safe. We were doing everything that we could to try and protect people from the danger that storm was causing..The idea that people might put their own lives at risk and at the same time tie up vital emergency services to go and help those people – it really wasn’t something that we were happy with what we were seeing.”
There have been some calls for people who knowingly put their lives and those of emergency service personnel at risk to be sanctioned, which Murphy said he would be in favour of;
“There are going to be future weather events and while we have to coordinate an emergency response we have to make people see that they are putting other people’s lives at risk and they are tying up the emergency services…..A penalty would be something that I would be happy to consider given what we saw yesterday during a crisis that we were trying to manage.”

Recently, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on the NX. Speaking to shareholders, he said:
“On the NX, what we have seen is really great, so we think having a new machine coming is going to help the industry to continue to grow and to take lots more casual players back in the industry.”
Last month, Ubisoft’s Alain Corre said that the NX will “recapture a lot of lapsed Wii players who passed on the Wii U“.

About 200 teachers were engaged by the Ministry of Education to carry out the task.
When contacted the permanent secretary of Education and Human Resources Dr Franco Roddie said the teachers’ allowances have been processed.

Tittawella said that the government wants to broad base the industry and create more competition and bring in more players, rather than confining the shipping sector to a few individuals and companies.

The food was packaged in a box the names of the people who came were the food parcels were distributed and their names were not on the lists they got a chance to register so that they too can be able to get the food.

Pakistan to take India to ICJ over Kashmir dispute
Pakistan on Tuesday decided to take the Kashmir dispute with India to International Court of Justice (ICJ), after New Delhi revoked special status to occupied Kashmir on August 5. According to sources, the foreign ministry has started preparations to call for a meeting of the human rights commission in Geneva next month and former foreign secretary Tehmina Janjua has been given the task.
Sources said that the issue of human rights violation in occupied Kashmir by India will be raised in the meeting, while the government has contacted international lawyers to raise this issue. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the government has decided to take Kashmir case to the International Court of Justice, adding that the decision was taken after considering all legal aspects.
On August 5, the Indian government had announced the scrapping of the special status of occupied Kashmir by revoking Article 370 of the Indian constitution. On Friday, Pakistan‘s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dr Maleeha Lodhi said that the UN Security Council today discussed the deteriorating situation in occupied Kashmir in the wake of Indian move to change the status of the held territory.
Lodhi said the meeting was briefed on the latest developments and the dismal human rights situation in occupied Kashmir. Maleeha Lodhi said today‘s UNSC meeting has nullified Indian claims that Kashmir is their internal matter. Pakistani envoy said that voice of the Kashmiri people was heard today at the UNSC meeting and it is just a first step.
While talking to the media after the meeting, she expressed that this was the first step for the people of Kashmir. She continued saying that the SC meeting was convened at the request of the Pakistan which proved that Kashmir is a global matter.mThe United Nations Security Council held a rare meeting on Kashmir after India stripped the region of its autonomy, sparking a row with Pakistan, diplomats said.
The meeting took place behind closed doors, the diplomats said. It was extremely rare for the Security Council to discuss Kashmir, which has been divided between India and Pakistan since independence from Britain in 1947.


A Cork GP has reported 12 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the past week, as cases increase across the county.
Dr John Sheehan said he has seen more Covid-19 cases in the past 10 days than over the past three or four months.
Dr Sheehan was speaking amid rising Covid-19 cases across Ireland, and reports that Cabinet is considering moving the country to Level 4 or 5 restrictions.
Speaking toon Monday, Dr Sheehan said things are certainly getting busier on the ground for GPs and others in the health service.
Speaking about his own practice, he said:
“We’ve had more Covid in the last week than we had for three months.
“We had no cases for three months and we had 10 last week, including five on Friday and another two this morning.
“We’ve had more positive cases in the last 10 days than we had in the last three or four months,” he added.
“That certainly focuses the mind.”
Dr Sheehan said the majority of these confirmed cases had taken precautions against contracting the virus.
“Most of these cases are people who did everything right,” he said.
“They might have been contacts or picked it up at work but the vast majority of these people were doing all the right things.
“So that just proves that it’s out there in the community and that there is community spread,” he added.
Dr Sheehan also raised concerns about the fact that some of the confirmed cases were asymptomatic.
“A number of them were also asymptomatic and that really illustrates the importance of all the precautions that are in place,” he said.
“These people didn’t even know they had Covid so that’s something everyone needs to be aware of.”

Lockdown orders are once again keeping people apart, but people in congregate and group living settings – such as Community Living Wallaceburg’s support homes – have faced heavier isolation than other residents due to them being more at-risk.
“I think it’s harder for the people that we support because we fall under the congregate care setting, so there are tighter restrictions on who people can see,” said Candice Trepanier, a Community Living Wallaceburg outcome facilitator.
That’s why the organization has never stopped running programs and activities for the people they support since the pandemic began.
The pandemic has uprooted their members’ normally busy daily routines, Trepanier said, but virtual gatherings among their members have been essential to continue their ability to connect socially.
“It’s so important that they have that social aspect,” Trepanier said. “Over the course of the pandemic, as people have been (connecting virtually), the people that we support are getting savvier on it.”

In an interview, Dr. Teodulfo Joselito Retuya Jr., city health office epidemiologist, said the QR codes generated through the Higala App have been useful even when public health protocols have been eased.

The use of QR codes and scanning through the Higala App was institutionalized through City Ordinance 14023-2021. (PNA)

Machinga, Machinga District Council has oriented 21 chiefs in the district on their roles and responsibilities on social issues and on COVID-19 pandemic in order to ensure that they discharge their duties to satisfy the needs of their subjects.
The one-day orientation meeting covered topics such as Chiefs Act, deceased estate, relationship between chiefs and public officers, child marriage, conflict management and Covid-19 pandemic.
Machinga District Commissioner (DC), Rosemary Nawasha, said the orientation was organised to remind chiefs of their critical role in development in their respective communities.
Nawasha said traditional leaders need to be knowledgeable on various social issues to ensure they respond well to the needs of their subjects.
“Chiefs are the ones who inform and mobilise their subjects to take part in development activities, they promote the welfare of their subject, promote culture and perform other traditional functions,” she said.
The DC said aMachinga District Council recognises roles of chiefs hence the orientation so that they (chiefs) can effectively execute their role once they are equipped with knowledge and skilsl.
Nawasha added that traditional leaders also play an important role in the administration of the council saying they ensure peaceful coexistence among people of difference social, political and religious affiliations in their areas.
“Even for police to enforce the laws they depend on community leaders like chiefs and this is why today we have community policing which works hand in hand with members of the community,” she said.
She, therefore, advised the chiefs to refrain from all acts of corruption especially when administering cases that involve people of different social economic status.
Nawasha advised chiefs need to be apolitical when discharging their duties but serve the government of the day.
“Chiefs just like public servants serves the government of the day as such they need to be different and respectful to the communities,” she said.
Paramount Chief Kawinga urged chiefs under his authority to be exemplary when serving their subjects so that their subjects should behave responsibly.
“If we want people to respect us, we must first of all respect ourselves. Don’t expect respect from people when we disrespect them,” he said.
The Yao paramount chief also said the lives of chiefs in the country will improve once the new Chiefs Act becomes operational.
“The new Chiefs Act will establish the Council of Traditional Leaders and the council will promote and safeguard the welfare of traditional leaders,” Kawinga said.
He added that the act will also give traditional leaders opportunities to present their views on matters of custom and tradition.
Kawinga said that the proposed legislation on chiefs wants all traditional authorities to start receiving emoluments from government.
He said time has come for government to consider constructing houses and put all chiefs on medical scheme.
The Yao paramount chief also encouraged fellow traditional leaders to continue sensitizing communities to adhere to Covid-19 preventive measure.
“Enforcement of Covid-19 preventive measures hinges on us since we are the ones who live with people in the communities,” he said.
Kawinga also expressed worry over the tendency of some traditional leaders who are involved in property grabbing.
He, therefore, advised them to put the special consideration on children and women when administering cases in their tribunals

Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola has reacted to the decision taken by the Ogun State governor on the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.
The road which has been in a terrible state for years has continued to attract outrages from several Nigerians especially users of the roads.
It was reported that the road which is a federal government project has claimed several lives due to its horrible state.
Many vehicles are constantly trapped in its traffic as residents of the area daily lament their hopelessness on the situation.
It was on this basis that the state governor, Dapo Abiodun declared a state of emergency on the road and promised to take up the construction if the federal government refused to do something about it.
Reacting to Abiodun’s step on the Sunday edition of Channels TV Politics Today, Babatunde Raji Fashola said he does not know where the governor’s power to take over the construction of federal road will come from.
He said there are processes to go through before such a decision can be taken. It will involve the transferring of some documents from the federal government to the Ogun state government and agreement has to be reached between the two parties.
According to Fashola, the road has already been included in the federal government budget and it is not something a governor can just wake up and embark on.
Similarly, the cost of constructing the road is about 56 billion naira and he doesn’t know where the governor can raise such an amount to start a federal government project when there are other states roads he fix.
Fashola however assured Nigerians especially people of Ogun State that the federal government is not sleeping over the situation. He said he is in touch with Governor Abiodun and they are working something out on it.Follow us on social media

“I don’t know that they even know what they’re doing,” she added.

Most firms think social purpose is just as important as profit
The majority of companies believe that their primary purpose is not solely to make money, according to a survey by one of Britain’s oldest business groups.
The Institute of Directors said that companies were re-assessing their role in society at a time when corporations are coming under greater pressure to recognise the impact of their decisions on the environment and the communities in which they operate.
In a survey of more than 700 directors, 62 per cent said that their goals should not be confined to generating shareholder profits.
Almost half said that companies should have a stated purpose to help to solve problems in society. The overwhelming majority, 90 per cent, said that companies should have a purpose, mission, or vision that guides themselves

Magazine’s city homecoming to coincide with school’s football homecoming for first time
The annual Magazine Homecoming has officially been moved to the wekend of Oct. 16 and 17.
“We’re going to coincide with the football homecoming this year,” said Jayrod Moore, who led the event last year.
Moore said even though things are currently being relaxed it the homecoming committee would not have had enough time to set up the event for its traditional second weekend in June.
Moore said Mayor Stan McConnell was on board with the switch to October because the weather is also likely to be better than the mid-June heat.
The annual event will also be held in the traditional site of Hank Stone Park rather than at the school, as was the case last year, and the parade will also revert to its customary route from the school to the park, Moore said.
Moore said events and reunions will be held throughout the weekend including a dinner Friday night before the Magazine Rattlers will be facing Quitman for homecoming during the program’s 25th season since the program was restarted.
The homecoming game was created four years ago.
Moore said more details about the event will be released in the coming months.
