Subject: Bangkok Post Dec 31: New prostitution bill proposed

Organization: Mail/News gateway
NNTP-Posting-Host: munnari.oz.au

 
A NEW prostitution bill has been submitted to Parliament which 
will make customers who have sex with children or women forced to 
serve as prostitutes liable to prison terms and a heavy fine.
 
The bill was proposed by Palang Dharma Party MP for Bangkok Ms 
Sudarat Keyuraphant and was seconded by 20 other MPs.
 
Altogether the bill contains 17 articles and seeks to replace the 
existing Prostitution Act of 1928 which is regarded as outdated 
and does not correspond with today's actual situation whereby 
countless women and children have been lured into the flesh trade 
because of social and economic problems.
 
Under the bill, persons who patronise a brothel which provides sex 
with boys and girls or women who have been forced to serve as 
prostitutes will face jail terms ranging from 1-5 years and/or a 
fine ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 baht.   Supporters of this 
kind of brothel will also face similar punishment.
 
Persons who lease out their premises to be used as brothels 
providing child or forced prostitution face prison terms from 5-10 
years and/or a fine ranging from 150,000 to 400,000 baht.
 
As for procurers -- whether women or children are smuggled into 
the country or exported for prostitution purposes and whether the 
children or women are willing or not -- the punishment will be 
prison terms from 5-10 years and/or a fine from 150,000-400,000 
baht.
 
Owners of brothels which have child prostitutes or forced 
prostitutes will also face jail terms from 5-10 years and/or a 
fine from 150,000-400,000 baht.
 
Harsher penalties are advocated for those who brutally maltreat 
prostitutes. Punishment for this offence ranges from 10-20 years' 
imprisonment and/or a fine ranging from 200,000-500,000 baht.
 
If the prostitutes are seriously injured or die from beatings 
inflicted by pimps or procurers, the penalty will be death or life 
imprisonment.

SEVEN middle-ranking and junior army officers yesterday gave 
their accounts of the May 17-21 bloody incidents to a working 
committee of the Interior Ministry assigned to trace missing 
people as a result of the tragic events.
 
An informed source in the Interior Ministry said the Army's 
acquiescence to allow its men to testify to the committee was in 
response to a request from Interior Minister Chavalit 
Yongchaiyudh.
 
Most of the officers testified were colonels who commanded army 
units involved in the crackdown of the pro-democracy protesters.
 
They included commanders of the First Infantry Battalion of the 
Royal Guards, Anti-Aircraft Company and Second Battalion of the 
Ninth Infantry Regiment.
 
Air Force officers who were involved in the suppression are 
scheduled to testify to the committee on Monday to be followed in 
the following day by members of the Royal Thai Navy.
 
Deputy Interior Permanent Secretary Aree Wong-araya, chairman of a 
sub-committee to trace missing people, said there are 56 people 
still unaccounted for out of some 1,000 people originally reported 
missing in the bloody crackdown.
 
He said he believed the actual number of missing people would 
reduce further.

THE chief of the Dusit District Court has asked for a transfer to 
take sole responsibility for allowing a sexy transvestite show at 
a New Year party for his subordinates last week.
 
Justice Minister Suvit Khunkitti, commending Nurak Mapraneet's 
move, said: "It's difficult to find a senior official who has the 
spirit to show responsibility for this type of incident."
 
The Dusit District Court chief made the headlines in some 
Thai-language newspapers after a photo photo showed him being 
embraced by a transvestite who was a me- ar of a dancing troupe 
performing at the judges' party held at the Chanthaburi Residents' 
Association on Saturday night.
 
Some members of the dance troupe took off their clothes during the 
show's finale and came down from the stage to embrace and kiss 
party-goers and ask for tips.
 
Permanent Secretary for Justice Supradit Hutasing said the party 
was supposed to be for the court's staff members who invited Mr 
Nurak as a guest of honour.
 
The dance troupe was arranged for the party because one of the 
officials knew the troupe manager personally.
 
"It [the show] was supposed to be a sort of comedy, but at the end 
of the show the dancers took off their clothes and rushed down 
from the stage and some photographs were taken," Mr Supradit 
explained.
 
Mr Suvit and Mr Supradit said they did not understand why 
photographers had been present at the party.
 
Mr Supradit said no complaint had been lodged with the local 
police against the dancers who performed the nude show.

Obviously, this is a reflection of your intelligence, academic training
and Univerisity you asshole. Being Japanese in this situation is very
important because I speak as a Japanese citizen how spent all save six
years in Nippon and I have never heard has anyone else of this incident
from a family/journalistic standpoint. Now, Mr. Barrera I don't know you

       remove the pork from the heat, put it in the plate, then enjoy it.      

 PS: If you want you can add some vegetables in #6.
     I usually put some onion, green onion, green pepper, etc..

There is a slight danger in assuming all other women think and feel the
same way your wife (or your SO or mother) does.  Consider the slight
possibility that other women may not enjoy being beaten as much as the
people you heard it from.  And also, consider the possibility that some men
may not enjoy beating wife as much as you do.

Is that how you make your wife (or SO or mother) "loved and wanted?"  Just
curious.  Strange, my SO likes receiving roses.

May everyone find a proper mate for his/her taste.

True.  That's why people are so enthusiastic about the first civilian
government in their life (for most young people).  What was installed in
decades will take just as long to remove.  However, what would our life be
without hopes?  We are hoping that indeed we have reached the last item on

I can see that there is a large support for corporal punishment in schools.
As I said, the same cause tends to produce two opposite consequences.
People like me bitterly oppose beating.  (I would rather see them going
down the drain than beat them to shape.  In that sense, I am much colder
and individualistic.)  Other people who went through the same experience
thought it was not such a bad idea, and even supports it.

That's why mentally ill patients used to be beat up, to be cured.  Now that
we have better medicine, they can be treated with DRUGS so that they can
act like a normal (by the societies standard) individual.  I am not sure if
I want to advocate going back to "beating treatment" for the mentally
unstable.  And I am not sure if I can say "stick is much better than drug,
always."

I would prefer drugged-normal-human than beaten-mentally-unstable any day.

On the contrary, I thought that wife beating was a national sport in US.
I saw it, heard it, and heard of it while living here in the States.

A couple of days ago, I found my secretatary got swolen lips and eyes in

I generally agree with Tim on different nature of violence between wife 
beating of US and wife `slapping' in Korea, but you seem to imply that 
somehow it is ok for Korean men to slap their wives because it not 
violent in nature as in US. If this is what you meant then I strongly 
disagree, else if I misunderstood you then disregard rest of this article. 
It's true that argument between sibling can cause older one of the two to 
slap or hit the younger one, without endorsing this practice, I disagree 
that martial violence can be anything like this. Firstly, sibling are tied 
by blood where as husband and wife is bound by love, care, and trust. 
And, unlike blood tie, small amount of violence can easily erode trust, 
love, and care.

The original posts that started this discussion discussed Taiwanaese pointing
the finger at Koreans. The original poster is Korean-American. There was also
some other nationality that also pointed the finger. Anyhow, it was not until
later that some more vocal (and perhaps rude) americans joined the discussion
and pointed the finger. 

My point is this: why do you only accuse the americans of finger-pointing ?
Why is the first idea you think of is "americans have their problems why do
they worry about ours?" when americans were not (entirely) involved in this
discussion to begin with ?

Perhaps what you say is true, but i am not sure it was appropriate in this
discussion.

Well, I guess I am still with you guys after all.  I do like Pink Floyd and
everytime there is a cover band playing in town I go to it.  I just saw a group
do the whole Wall album and it was just great.  It just doesn't get any better
than this.

I thought the guys name was Roger Waters. As a matter of fact, I just bought
Amused To Death (RW's newest album) and I must give it two thumbs up.  Cool
tunes and all.

Later, folks!
