Election: Klanarong among latest group of new senators
The Election Commission endorsed Klanarong Chantik, former secretary-general of the National Counter Corruption Commission, and 22 other poll winners as senators, EC secretary-general Ekachai Warunprapa said yesterday.
That brings the total to 163. The remaining 37 will be endorsed soon or new balloting will be called if any are found to have committed election fraud. Wage Dispute: Salaries set for education officials The Supreme Administrative Court yesterday ruled former education minister Adisai Bodharamik and the Teacher Civil Service Commission could lawfully regulate the salaries in education area offices. A group of administrators working in education area offices had petitioned the court to void the regulation passed by the Teacher Civil Service Commission to control their salaries. Limousines: Royal transport a hot item While Thais are snapping up commemorative photographs and T-shirts of His Majesty the King's 60th anniversary, local millionaires are scrambling to get their hands on the fleet of royal cars. DaimlerChrysler said yesterday it had been flooded with calls about the luxury Mercedes-Benz S360 cars used by the visiting royalty. The callers have urged the company to auction off the cars. "The company's management has not decided what to do with these 25 cars but it's true many people want to buy them," said DaimlerChrysler Thailand's spokesman Chatvithai Tantraporn.
