A year after the deadliest mass shooting in Thailand, where a Royal Thai Army soldier shot and killed 31 people and injured 58, a victim is still being treated. Along with regular doctors appointments and weekly rehabilitation sessions, 27 year old Jirattikarn Nobthai has an upcoming operation to treat his wounds from the shooting last year. The gunman, 32 year old Jakrapanth Thomma, went on a shooting rampage on February 8, 2020 in Nakhon Ratchasima. Many believe the shooting was motivated by a disagreement between Jakrapanth and his commander over a housing sale. Jakrapanth shot and killed his commander and other soldiers at the Surathampithak army camp before going to Korat’s Terminal 21 shopping mall and firing shots at civilians. The gunman was shot and killed by the special forces team called “Hanuman” around 9am the next day after attempts to persuade the Jakrapanth to surrender. The gunman had shot Jirattikarn multiple times while he was helping victims outside the ... » Learn More about A year after Thailand’s deadliest mass shooting a victim still gets medical treatment

KUALA LUMPUR, March 7 (Bernama): Like other countries around the world, Malaysia was not spared the fury of the Covid-19 pandemic and suffered the devastating consequences.

KUALA LUMPUR: The systematic roll-out of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme and the country’s economic recovery plan that embeds strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) will be the key to drive Malaysia back on its track, making it stronger by end-2021, Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said. He said based on the current data, the country’s gross domestic growth has slowly shown signs of recovery since the movement control order (MCO) 1.0 in March 2020. "We have many reasons to believe that the worst is behind us. I am certain that Malaysia will emerge stronger by the end of the year,” he told Bernama. Tengku Zafrul said the economic sectors that were allowed to operate based on strict SOPs covers 93 per cent of the economy during MCO 2.0 and this has resulted to an output loss of RM300 million per day compared with the RM2.4 billion per day during MCO 1.0. He also said the four economic stimulus packages totalling RM305 billion, or ... » Learn More about Tengku Zafrul: Worst is behind us, Malaysia will emerge stronger by year-end
