Popular Post webfact 78,580 Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 Schoolgirl slapped for not standing up during national anthem By The Nation A 15-year-old schoolgirl was slapped in the face by a nationalist who got angry when the girl did not stand up for the national anthem at a train station in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. On Tuesday, a woman dressed in red approached the girl at 6pm after the national anthem ended and attacked her. Others intervened to prevent the violence from getting worse. The girl’s family, who arrived to take her home, learned that the assailant was a food vendor at the station. The vendor admitted that she slapped the schoolgirl because the girl did not stand up for the national anthem. The family subsequently lodged a complaint with the police, asking them to arrest the woman for assault. They explained that the girl was on her period and therefore decided not to stand up during the anthem. The incident sparked widespread criticism online.

Popular Post rkidlad 32,011 Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 Using violence against children because they won't conform. Classy. I think someone is starting a kind of Gofundme page so the girl can sue the Thai Karen. I'd quite happily donate to it. Let's see how proud people are when it hits them in the wallet. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post darksidedog 50,885 Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 Aside from the fact that standing during a National anthem should be a matter of personal choice, given the law allows such freedoms, the woman in red has no right to do anything, other than possibly making a remark of disapproval. It is an unprovoked assault for which she should be charged and imprisoned, to make her and others think twice before such action. Being Thailand a wai and 500 Baht will probably solve the matter sadly. 27 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post NanLaew 22,617 Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) My married American mate who has worked and lived here for years went to watch a movie a few weeks back. He said when the national anthem came on, he was the only one who stood up. Admittedly, the movie auditoriums at these multi-screen venues are smaller these days and there was at most only half-a-dozen others but these 'sitters' were all young locals. Sign o' the times I reckon. Edited October 28, 2020 by NanLaew 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They play the Royal Anthem, not the National Anthem, in cinemas. A few years ago, everyone stood. Now, not so many! 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites
