Thailand to withdraw plans to legalise casinos as political turmoil deepens
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox BANGKOK – Thailand's government will withdraw a controversial Bill to legalise casinos from Parliament following mounting public opposition and a fresh bout of political turmoil that has reduced the ruling coalition's majority. A motion to withdraw the so-called 'entertainment complex' Bill from the current session of Parliament will be raised on July 9 when it was previously slotted for consideration, government Whip Visuth Chainaroon told reporters on July 7. The Cabinet will likely approve the withdrawal plan when it meets on July 8, Mr Visuth said. It's not clear yet whether the government will reintroduce the bill at some point in the future, he said. The government had earlier indicated that it would delay the introduction of the Bill – set to be the first major agenda after the House of Representatives reconvened last week – saying it needed more time to communicate with the public and address their concerns about problem gambling and money laundering. 'We're not pulling it out of fear or anything,' Mr Visuth said. 'We'd just like to communicate with the people first on the issue and clear any lingering doubts.' PM suspension The move to pull the Bill came after the ruling alliance was pushed to the brink by the exit of Bhumjaithai Party, which had opposed the Bill, and the suspension of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for an alleged ethical misconduct. Ms Paetongtarn also faces other legal challenges after coming under fire for a leaked phone conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen , in which she was critical of the Thai army's role in an ongoing border standoff with the neighboring country.

The budget Bill for next fiscal year from October is also expected to be taken up for the second and third readings in August. The move is likely to frustrate foreign investors interested in developing casinos in Thailand as part of big entertainment complexes. The proposed legislation promotes these projects as a means to attract investment and boost tourism – a sector that is crucial to the Thai economy, employing one in five Thais and contributing roughly 13 per cent to the nation's gross domestic product. Major operators such as Galaxy Entertainment Group, MGM Resorts International, Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts, and Melco Resorts & Entertainment have previously expressed interest in setting up integrated resorts in Thailand.

Thailand to withdraw casino Bill as ruling coalition hit by crisis

Cambodia says Thailand attempts to ‘tarnish' it with hacking claims
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Cambodia said Thai posts in Thailand were alleging 'Cambodia engaged North Korean hackers to launch attacks against a few Thai institutions'. PHNOM PENH - Cambodia accused Thailand on July 7 of a 'malicious attempt' to smear its reputation with accusations it has launched cyber-attacks on the neighbouring nation, as a diplomatic feud festers. The South-east Asian neighbours have been at loggerheads since a Cambodian soldier was killed in late May as troops exchanged fire in a disputed border region. Numerous crossings have been closed as Cambodia banned some Thai products, and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended last week pending an ethics probe into her conduct during the spat. Cambodia's communications ministry said Thai posts in Thailand were alleging 'Cambodia engaged North Korean hackers to launch attacks against a few Thai institutions'. 'The Royal Government of Cambodia has no connection whatsoever with North Korean hacker groups,' the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MPTC) said in a statement. 'The MPTC considers this allegation to be a malicious attempt by Thailand to tarnish Cambodia's reputation on the international stage'. It also issued a counter-claim that a Thai hacker group known as 'BlackEye-Thai' attacked 'nearly all of the Cambodian government's online systems' over the past two weeks, but said their attempts were 'thwarted'.

In a call with Cambodian ex-leader Hun Sen, she called him 'uncle' and referred to a Thai military commander as her 'opponent'. A recording of the call, leaked from the Cambodian side, sparked allegations she had kowtowed to Phnom Penh and undermined the military. But the feud has continued since Ms Paetongtarn's suspension. As a result of a Cabinet reshuffle she organised just hours before being suspended, she is now Thailand's serving culture minister. In one of her first acts in that office on July 4, she halted the return of 20 ancient Khmer artefacts to Cambodia, citing funding issues, despite pledging in April to hand them over. The border row between the countries dates back to the drawing of their 800km frontier in the early 20th century, during the French occupation of Indochina. Violence sparked by the dispute has led to at least 28 deaths in the region since 2008, but the issue had died down in recent years until the flare-up in May. AFP
