Baiyoke Tower heir drops legal action over false claim on Facebook
The heir of Baiyoke Tower in Bangkok has decided to resolve a false Facebook post claiming that the Baiyoke Tower was tilting and cracking following an earthquake.
The post, which was misinformation, caused public concern, prompting the heir, Beer Baiyoke, also know as Piyalert Baiyoke, to reach out to the poster to discuss the false claims. However, the poster responded provocatively, demanding to know who he was and his authority over the Baiyoke Tower.
Initially, Beer planned to pursue legal action and had his lawyer contact the fake news spreader. This prompted the Facebook user to post further, sarcastically expressing fear of being sued by someone claiming to own the Baiyoke Tower.
The situation drew public attention, with people criticising the Facebook user for not ceasing their disruptive behaviour.
Recently, Beer shared a post while travelling abroad with his family, announcing the decision to drop the legal proceedings against the Facebook user. He revealed that the individual had changed their attitude significantly, even going as far as to sincerely apologise, reported KhaoSod.
“Everyone, I have decided to end the issue with Thanakrit. I have stopped the legal action. Even if I won the lawsuit, I would have donated the money anyway.”
The heir expressed gratitude towards his lawyer and police officers for their assistance and requested the owner of the Facebook post to donate to a children’s hospital, regardless of the amount.
“We often make donations to children, so consider this a bridge for charity. Now, I can enjoy my trip with my family peacefully. Thank you, everyone.”
In similar news, the investigation into the collapsed State Audit Office building revealed that two steel samples failed to meet required standards, leading to discrepancies in other measurements.
The first sample, a 32mm deformed bar, did not meet yield strength requirements, while the second, a 20mm deformed bar, had substandard mass per metre. Both samples came from the same company, which had been ordered to cease production by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute in December.
These findings have raised serious concerns about the quality of materials used in the construction of the building, contributing to the collapse.
