The Bhumjaithai party plans to submit legislation to parliament targeting civil service examination fraud with severe penalties including up to 15 years imprisonment, fines of up to 300,000 baht, and lifetime disqualification from public office. Party list MP Suphachai Jaisamutr announced at party headquarters on July 7 that the bill would be formally proposed on July 8. The law aims to criminalize and punish fraud in all types of state agency recruitment exams, civil service appointments, and government-funded assessment evaluations, ensuring transparent and fair personnel selection while strengthening public administration efficiency and citizen trust.

The proposed legislation covers all forms of civil service recruitment exams and state-level assessments funded by the national budget. Specific offenses include cheating during exams, proxy testing, bribery, intimidation, and unauthorized disclosure or leakage of exam questions.

Penalties include imprisonment of up to 15 years and fines up to 300,000 baht depending on offense severity, with asset and benefit forfeiture. Enhanced penalties apply if the offender is a civil servant or exam administrator, with doubled sentences for exam organizers. Serious disciplinary action is imposed, with investigations coordinated among the NACC, DSI, and ACB. Anonymous electronic tip channels will be established, and authorities can suspend exams temporarily upon suspicion of fraud.

Exam takers found committing fraud face lifetime disqualification from public service nationwide, while civil servants and government employees can be terminated. These measures aim to prevent and suppress corruption in the civil service system.

Because "human power" is the foundation of all progress, the TCP business group is marking its 70th anniversary by sharing "7 True Stories, 7 Sources of Inspiration" and inviting people to discover their inner strength through an interactive quiz called "Check Your Power...to Move Forward."

In a world of constant change where people are losing momentum, TCP remains convinced that "human power" is the key driver of growth. The company believes that every change begins with people who believe in themselves and are ready to move forward, even on difficult days. On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, TCP is advancing the concept "70 Years of TCP: Awakening Power...to Move Forward" through "7 True Stories, 7 Sources of Inspiration," sharing stories of diverse individuals whom TCP empowers and believes in. These narratives demonstrate that when given opportunity and support, anyone can rise and pass positive energy to society and the environment. The initiative also invites people to discover hidden strength through the interactive quiz "Check Your Power...to Move Forward" to explore what gives them power to progress daily, leading to the activity "Share Your Power, Return Power to Volunteers," where for every share, TCP donates beverages to disaster relief workers through the Kraxgaeng Mirror Foundation.

Ajariya Suvanakul, Director of Corporate Relations and Communications at the TCP business group, stated: "We have always believed that 'human power' is essential in driving both society and business growth. Over decades, the TCP business group has passed on this power through beverage brands like Red Bull, Red Bull, and sponsorships that stand beside people in every phase of life—whether they need power for work, exercise, starting something new, or overcoming life's challenges. We don't just want to be a brand people remember; we want to be a brand that connects with people through values and inspiration that have real meaning. The '70 Years of TCP: Awakening Power...to Move Forward' campaign reflects our commitment to supporting people in diverse roles—workers, entrepreneurs, communities, and those wanting to create change in their own way—because we believe meaningful growth is growth that happens together with people and society."

The "70 Years of TCP: Awakening Power...to Move Forward" campaign shares stories through an online content series "7 True Stories, 7 Sources of Inspiration" to convey perspectives and experiences of people who overcame obstacles through their own power, with TCP awakening and believing in that power, turning challenges into inspiration for others.

The stories include:

"Awaken the Power of Passionate Workers to Move Forward"—sharing the story of a worker pursuing life goals with determination for family, with Red Bull providing physical energy to step forward daily, reflecting the "Awaken Thai People's Power to Move Forward" campaign's commitment to stand beside and empower Thais to reach their goals in every situation.

On July 7, 2569, Deputy Democrat Party Leader Chaiyachon Detchdecho addressed legal gaps and regulatory failures in monitoring foreign nationals and capital flows in Thailand. According to current data, Thailand has only approximately 20,000 properly registered and licensed hotels, while over 80,000 accommodations—representing 70-80% of all lodging nationwide—operate without licenses or proper registration. Chaiyachon noted public complaints about tourist and foreign national conduct, pointing out that law clearly mandates hotels report guest names and information to the Department of Provincial Administration and Immigration Bureau. However, inspection revealed that of 20,000 legal hotels, only 12,000 comply with reporting requirements, split between 70% electronic submissions and 30% paper-based reports. The unregistered 80,000 establishments submit no reports whatsoever, creating massive gaps in Thailand's foreign national tracking system. "The proportion of unlicensed hotels at 70-80% is deeply concerning," Chaiyachon stated. "I urge the Interior Ministry and Department of Provincial Administration to enforce laws requiring these accommodations to register properly and implement strict foreign guest data collection systems." He emphasized that decisive measures are essential to prevent foreign nationals from using accommodation loopholes to establish criminal bases, particularly call center gangs, scammers, and online fraud networks causing extensive damage to Thai citizens. "The Interior Ministry, Department of Provincial Administration, and all relevant security agencies must urgently and strictly coordinate to tackle this problem," Chaiyachon concluded.

Norway pulled off one of the biggest World Cup upsets by defeating five-time champion Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16, advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in the country's history. The historic victory sparked massive celebrations throughout Norway, with fans flooding streets and public spaces to honor their team. The Norwegian military joined the festivities by performing the viral Viking Row gesture—a synchronized rowing motion mimicking ancient Viking boats—across all three branches, with soldiers on hillsides, navy personnel aboard ships, and air force officials participating from aircraft and bases. Star striker Erling Haaland, who scored two goals in the match, posted a video of teammates performing the Norwegian Viking Clap, which rapidly went viral and cemented the Viking Row as the symbol of the team's triumph. The Viking Row, originally a stadium celebration performed by players and fans sitting or crouching before swaying back and forth in unison with drumming and chanting, represents unity, strength, and collective fighting spirit. The gesture has since spread globally, with major celebrations occurring at Times Square in New York, where large crowds of Norwegian fans transformed the iconic location into a massive Viking Row stage, reflecting the pride and solidarity of Norwegians worldwide.
