BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): To build confidence amidst the public and tourists, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha ordered concerned agencies to look into the extortion claim against the Taiwanese actress, stressing that true offenders must be punished without exception.

“This problem is deep-rooted. We need to separate the good (police) from the bad (police), and true offenders must face punishment” he said.
