Renowned Japanese Baseball Team Manager Resigns After Arrest for Assaulting His Daughter

Shinnosuke Abe, manager of Japan's Yomiuri Giants baseball team, resigned after his arrest for physically assaulting his 18-year-old daughter during a quarrel at his Tokyo home on May 25.

14h ago Khaosod

Shinnosuke Abe has resigned as manager of the Yomiuri Giants, a prestigious team in Japan's professional baseball league, following his arrest on charges of physically assaulting his 18-year-old daughter at home. The 47-year-old former baseball legend, who played for 19 years and won eight league championships before becoming manager, was arrested at his residence in Shibuya on May 25 and confessed to the allegations. According to Tokyo Metropolitan Police, his daughter sustained no injuries from the incident.

Abe told police that he pushed his 18-year-old daughter down after they quarreled, stating that he was intoxicated at the time. The incident began when Abe told his daughter to be quiet, but she talked back to him, which angered him greatly.

A child consultation hotline received an emergency call after 7 p.m. reporting that the daughter had been assaulted by her father. According to sources, the daughter made the report after consulting ChatGPT, and Tokyo police had no prior reports or inquiries about Abe.

Following his arrest, Abe told police officers that he became angry when his eldest daughter talked back after he told her to be quiet. Police also noted that he showed remorse for his actions.

Tou Kunimmatsu, the team's chairman and CEO, released a statement saying: "We cannot tolerate violence, so we take this matter very seriously. We apologize to all fans and everyone involved in professional baseball."

However, the daughter confirmed in a letter to the media that she had not been punched or kicked and that she has since reconciled with her father. She also stated that she does not want this matter to be made into a big issue.

F1 legend Mika Salo has been found following an attack by a motorcycle-riding assailant who slashed his leg while he was crossing a zebra crossing near a prominent hotel in central Bangkok. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

At 12:20 PM on May 26, 2025, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Siam Bunyasorn ordered Deputy Commissioner Pallab Aem-la to oversee the investigation, working with other senior officers to locate Salo. They found the 59-year-old Finnish former F1 driver staying at a hotel in the Sukhumvit area. During initial questioning, Salo stated he was unaware of what had struck him in the Sukhumvit area. Police subsequently brought him to Lumpini Police Station for further questioning.

The case has attracted significant media coverage from Finnish news outlets such as Ilta-Sanomat and Helsingin Sanomat, which reported the incident occurred while Salo was crossing a zebra crossing near a Bangkok hotel.

Salo described feeling only a "light impact" from the motorcycle passing very close to him and continued walking for a few more steps before a bystander shouted that blood was pouring from his leg. Looking down, he saw his shoe was soaked with blood.

First Look at Five Stunning Posters for 'In The Name of Love' Featuring Ink, Mak, Gulf, Prim, and Fay - Packed with Drama

The posters for "In The Name of Love," a legendary Thai romance epic starring Ink, Mak, Gulf, Prim, and Fay, premiered ahead of the film's September 3rd theater release from Black Dragon Entertainment. Director Muk Piyakan cast each actor f

14h ago Khaosod

Five beautifully crafted character posters for 'In The Name of Love' (original Thai title: Aht Charoen Wan Thong) have been unveiled, introducing audiences to a toxic romance epic. The film marks the first production from Black Dragon Entertainment and features an impressive cast bringing to life the legendary tale of Nang Wan Thong. The movie will hit theaters on September 3rd.

Each of the five posters features stunning character imagery set against painted murals from Wat Pa Lalai K Worrawihan, illustrating the interconnected love stories of Wan Thong, Khun Phan, and Khun Chang, while revealing each character's unique definition of true love.

Director Muk Piyakan discussed the casting process, explaining how seeing the temple paintings immediately brought Ink Warunthorn to mind. She praised his natural talent, recounting how he delivered a powerful monologue and moved her to tears on his first take, before even receiving the complete script. Regarding the roles of Khun Phan and Khun Chang, the director intentionally created contrasting characters—Khun Phan as a traditionally masculine figure, while Khun Chang embodies tenderness as Wan Thong's refined confidant.

Mak was selected to portray Khun Phan because the director sought a quintessentially Thai masculine presence, which she found rare in contemporary casting. Having noticed Mak's interest in classical Thai literature, she reached out with the script, and he accepted the role.

Gulf, who plays Khun Chang, impressed the director during auditions with his natural reactions and willingness to challenge himself—he even requested to audition for the Khun Phan role. His commitment was evident in his lengthy four-hour audition session.

For the role of Sai Thong, the director wanted to create a character with distinctive dimensions and sensual qualities reflecting the fantasies of male writers from that era, ultimately casting Prim for her magnetic screen presence.

Fay brings comedic flair to the character of Jan Son. The director reinterpreted this character as potentially progressive for his time—a man born in the wrong era who nonetheless excels within his circumstances.

Consumer Protection and FDA Crack Down on Misleading 'Edible Gold Leaf' Advertising

Thai authorities are cracking down on misleading online advertising of edible gold leaf products that make unsubstantiated health and safety claims without proper certification. The Consumer Protection Board and FDA are investigating seller

14h ago Khaosod

The Consumer Protection Board (OCPB) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are stepping up enforcement against misleading advertising of edible gold leaf and metallic foil products used to decorate food, bakery items, beverages, and confections sold online. Deputy Prime Minister Supamas Issraphakdi revealed on May 26 that the OCPB Secretary General Ranrong Poonpipat has been tasked with investigating and controlling advertisements using unsubstantiated claims such as "24K edible gold," "consumable," or "food grade" without proper safety certification or documentation from relevant agencies.

According to Supamas, such misleading advertising practices fall directly under OCPB jurisdiction, as they use exaggerated claims and deceive consumers into believing products are safe to consume without supporting evidence. Many listings also lack complete labeling, fail to identify manufacturers or importers clearly, and may pose safety risks to consumers. The OCPB can immediately investigate and take action against such violations.

Supamas stated that the OCPB is coordinating with the FDA under the Ministry of Public Health to assess the safety of materials used in food products, while requesting major online platforms to remove misleading listings from their systems. Platforms have cooperated well with these efforts. She emphasized: "Businesses can sell beauty, but they must not sell deception."

Supamas provided three essential checkpoints for consumers before purchasing edible gold leaf or decorative foil: 1) Verify that labels clearly specify whether the product is for decoration or consumption; 2) Check manufacturer and importer information along with certification documents; 3) Avoid suspiciously cheap products claiming to be pure gold without verification.

Consumers who encounter deceptive or unsafe products can report them to the OCPB hotline 1166, the OCPB Connect mobile application, the website ocpb.go.th, or local consumer protection centers nationwide.

Just Political Theater! Siripong Dismisses 'Thaeng' as Opposition Stretches Blue Regime Narrative, Insists Bhumjaithai Unharmed

Bhumjaithai's deputy leader Siripong dismissed opposition claims of a "blue regime" controlling Thailand as political theater, arguing the party's electoral mandate protects it from such accusations.

14h ago Khaosod

On May 26, 2569 at Government House, Siripong Angkaskulkiat, Transport Minister and Deputy Leader of Bhumjaithai Party (BT), responded to Democrat Party leader Nattapong Ruangpanyawuti's claims that Thai politics operates under a blue regime. Siripong dismissed such rhetoric as routine opposition tactics, characterizing it as political theater rather than substantive criticism. He argued that opposition parties naturally must oppose and seek dramatic talking points, which he views as standard ideological competition.

When asked whether accusations of a blue regime dominating the country could damage Bhumjaithai, Siripong expressed no concern, noting that the party's legitimacy derives from electoral victory where voters chose them first. He suggested the opposition's interpretation of events is predictable—claiming the people chose them if they win, or alleging fraud if they lose.

Siripong further argued the opposition is overreaching by connecting too many disparate issues into a cohesive narrative. He dismissed the blue regime framing as lacking substance, noting such debate has occurred previously without destabilizing the government. He concluded that whether opposition leaders raise these points or not is ultimately irrelevant to government stability.

Metta Pracharaksa Hospital Now Offers Prosthetic Eyes Covered by Social Security, Aiming to Restore Confidence to Beneficiaries

On May 26, 2569, Dr. Nathpong Wongwiwat, Director-General of the Medical Department under the Ministry of Public Health, stated that the Medical Department has developed academic expertise and advanced technology for patient care, demonstrating excellence across multiple specialties. The department is committed to advancing tertiary-level specialized medical services to ensure all citizens have equal access to treatment for complex diseases with consistent standards across all regions, thereby improving survival rates and reducing disabilities.

Among the Medical Department's diverse technologies and innovations, personalized prosthetic eyes have been developed over many years. The Prosthetic Eye Center at Metta Pracharaksa Hospital (Wat Rai Khing) provides customized prosthetic eyes to patients who have lost vision or eyes.

Dr. Kittiwat Manojanchan, Director of Metta Pracharaksa Hospital (Wat Rai Khing), announced that the Social Security Office has now opened access for Social Security beneficiaries to use their benefits for personalized prosthetic eyes. Although the procedure is relatively expensive, the Social Security Office will cover medical service fees based on individual patient needs, with the following cost breakdown:

- Personalized prosthetic eye: 5,000 baht per eye - Clear prosthetic eye for expanding the eye socket: 1,500 baht each - Eye assessment and prosthetic eye fitting: 500 baht - Eye printing: 500 baht - Service fee for fitting day: 600 baht

Benefit usage follows the conditions set by each patient's Social Security Office.

"To achieve good quality of life and equal integration into society with others, caring for patients' mental health is as important as treating physical illness. This helps patients return to normal life in society and restore their confidence to live fully again. Previously, prosthetic eye services could only be claimed under civil servant benefits. The universal health insurance scheme has submitted a proposal for consideration, and currently, Social Security beneficiaries can now use their benefits for personalized prosthetic eyes.

Interested beneficiaries can contact the Prosthetic Eye Center at Metta Pracharaksa Hospital (Wat Rai Khing) at 034-318-202 during office hours for inquiries and services," Dr. Kittiwat stated.

Transport Ministry Orders Installation of Automatic Barriers at All Railway Crossings to Prevent Accidents

Thailand's Transport Ministry will install automatic barriers at railway crossings nationwide within 1-2 years following a deadly train-bus collision at Bangkok's Makkasan intersection that killed eight people in May.

14h ago Khaosod

At 10:00 a.m. on May 26 at Government House, Deputy Transport Minister Siripong Angsakulkiartai discussed compensation for victims of the train-bus collision at the Makkasan intersection. Of eight fatalities, compensation has been completed for six families, with the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMA) and State Railway of Thailand (SRT) providing 2.09 million baht per family initially, with an additional 300,000 baht pending from a protection fund. The ministry is also caring for injured victims still hospitalized.

Regarding legal proceedings, the Railway Department has filed complaints against the negligent train driver and all vehicle owners parked at the railway crossing, with charges of negligence and traffic violations. When asked whether multiple parties, particularly parliament, were closely monitoring the incident and whether lessons would be learned, Deputy Minister Siripong stated that no lesson-learning process was necessary, as the Transport Ministry had never planned to do so. He noted that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul had remarked that accidents were inevitable—vehicles pass through these crossings daily, and everyone knows an accident will eventually happen.

Siripong acknowledged that many locations nationwide have unauthorized shortcuts across railway lines where safety equipment is inadequate. He stated the Transport Ministry has discussed solutions, with the Railway Institute developing plans and allocating budgets to improve safety at various crossings, starting with Bangkok and surrounding areas before expanding nationwide. Improvements would include traffic lights and warning sirens at locations currently lacking them.

Within 1-2 years, automatic barriers and technology will likely be necessary, as the current signal system is automated while barrier management relies on human operators. The ministry aims to implement full automation to reduce human error. When asked about installing full-length steel barriers like in foreign countries to prevent motorcycles from crossing, Siripong acknowledged this could be effective but required careful consideration of implementation details, potentially using a combination of approaches.

Regarding SRT's observation that management staff may be insufficient and requesting additional personnel, Siripong responded that technology could replace staff. He noted the ministry had previously reduced personnel without implementing technological alternatives. If hiring additional staff, it should involve a new model rather than long-term obligations, possibly through project-based employment.
