Hello everyone, Steven Clark here and friends. Hey, it's all going with this fun feel coronavirus planet at the moment. Don't forget to wash your hands and practice social distancing. I've been doing that all my life, that's why I got no friends. Anyway, what do we got today? All the ties have the answer. Gold litters has cash strapped ties, sell jewelry, a bit coronavirus, 19 pandemic. Can you blame? Gold hit an all-time high. Look around Southeast Asia, and what is making their headlines. Not enough money? Thailand's Prime Minister Priyat slashes three months relief program. He forgot to check his bank. He doesn't have enough in it. Thailand's Prime Minister Priyat Chinatat has decided to slash the three month relief program, the Thai nationals who don't have work, because of the Chinese coronavirus shutdowns. Bangkok Prime Minister Priyat Chinatat, on Wednesday said that the government may be able to pay only one month of the promised three month cash relief package for workers affected by the Chinese coronavirus. The government had earlier planned to give a 5,000-barred cash hand out to temporary, contracts and self-employed workers who were not covered by the social security system for the three consecutive months. Beginning this April, official said the program might even be extended for six months if the pandemic doesn't subside. But speaking to the media after the cabinet meeting this afternoon, Priyat said the government is struggling to secure funds for the next round of handouts. I feel sympathetic and sorry for the people, Priyat said. I have to admit that the government had initially planned to allocate the 50-billion-barred budget to help 3 million people for three months. He went on, but since more than 9 million people signed up for their program, the government could only give it for one month to cover all affected people. Prime Minister Priyat said he would propose slashing 10% of each minister's budget, pushing at 1 trillion-barred loan bill into the Parliament to help prop up the funding program. However, he did not expect these solutions to arrive anytime soon. Prime Minister Priyat said therefore we have to enact a bill to support relief programs for the people. Please don't be worried. We are doing our best to take care of the Thai people. Prime Minister Priyat Adjinachat said. Johnny, so I am reporting, COVID-19 is all across the news. As we know, it's virtually affected every country in the world. There's been good and there's been some not so good, but on the bright side. Princess Ploughtech has set up a fund to aid Thai hospitals and health care providers. The fund will provide medical equipment and supplies. Also, the King and Queen have donated ventilators and other medical equipment to support the COVID-19 relief fund. With the best practice in the battle against the COVID-19 virus, social distance and lockdowns are proving to make a difference, but not all think the same. 32. Court in Pataya for violating lockdown rules and regulations. Some people don't learn. Mac-Dah-Hah. 8. Court violating. The lockdown and curfew, including the local magistrates, daughters. The world is the same problem and again, something that they are above the laws and restrictions put in place to help protect us all. Philippines, three governors, two mayors have been charged with show calls for the violating of restrictions and curfews. Also, Myanmar, two pastors have been prosecuted for defying the ban on religious gatherings, so it seems to be most countries distancing people, telling people to stay at home. It doesn't get through to everybody. Laugh, lang pre-bang, have scaled down the PMI festival. PMI Laugh, the same as the Thai New Year, have scaled it right down and alcohol bans. The same as Thailand, Philippines, Band of Sale of Alcohol and Congregating. But not everybody gets it anyhow. There's been some very interesting and novel approaches to the social distancing and social gathering. Indonesia, the island of Java, have used a very interesting tactic to discourage the social gathering via hiring actors to dress as ghosts and jump out and scare people so they run home and stay indoors. Very interesting approach. Yet once again, tourists don't care or just haven't got the mental capacity. Indian officials forced 10 tourists to write the word sorry, 500 times, for breaking the ban's over there. But China doesn't seem to mind, with the rest of the world in lockdown, the Chinese Communist Party is full steam ahead with its unlawful takeover on the islands in the South Philippines Sea. As we know, the world isn't happy in the fact disgusted as what has happened. Myanmar's Cardinal has come out and said that China must compensate the world. I think a world agrees with him. The Thai government has opened registration for free. Yes, free mobile internet from Friday. Now that's a positive thing. And also on another positive thing, the Thai government is embarking on digital learning TV so to kick off some of the students studying from home. And once again, sticking with the social distancing. Others have been hard at work promoting Thailand. Patia, a US Horne graphar, said he was helping tourists. The pornographer said the girls flocked to his door to be filmed and were very willing and well compensated. So seems like everybody was happy. Maybe we might see some footage on that. Also, as we know, the long arm of the law can reach out anywhere. An Australian man has been arrested in Cha Chang's hour for extradition on child sex charges. He had been living there with a Thai woman and her family for over five years. Johnny out. The gold glitters as cash-trapped Thai sell jury because of the Chinese coronavirus outbreak. Thai's love two things. Their mobile phones were taking selfies and gold. Ties of flocking to Bangkok's China town to sell their gold jury as the price of precious metal spikes caused through the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. A virtual lockdown has taken root for Fortnite. Hundreds of ties have flocked to China town in Bangkok to sell their family fortunes such as bracelets, necklaces or cash. As local gold prices jump more than 20% and why? Gold switched to a seven-year high on Tuesday to US $1,731.25 an ounce. Following global moves led by the US to re-inflate economies with trunze of dollars of stimulus measures. One Thailand shop bought 20 million baht. US $6.1 million. A ornament, skull bars, watches, you know it was gold it was sold. The shop's owner explained businesses whose revenue have been struggling by the lockdown being forced to sell their gold savings. Their businesses are in bad shape better to sell gold and keep the cash, he said. He also said in over 60 years I've never seen people chew like this to sell their gold. Thailand's economy is forecast to contract by more than 5% this year after the Chinese coronavirus, shattered borders, killing the cash cow tourist industry, leaving millions unemployed. The government has advised people to hold off on selling their gold because many shops will start facing liquidation problems. If this continues for a week, most gold shops will have to shut down temporarily but it will have a great effect on many players in the gold industry, especially the Stock Exchange.
