Waiting for the Attorney General’s document Clear the submarine knot

Suthin’ waits for documents from the Attorney General. Clearing up the submarine issue, adhering to Cabinet resolutions, confirming there is no political lobbying. Revealed that the 2024 budget will not be affected because there are no new projects.

Mr. Suthin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense Discussing the progress of the Attorney General’s Office, answering questionsThe Navy, in solving the problem of the submarine project purchased from China, said that he would like to wait for an official response letter first. Because I haven’t seen the details yet. But there will be changes to the agreement. Or taking action forward or in any way must be a resolution of the Cabinet (Cabinet) in a manner similar to Loan Act No matter what the result is, it must be brought to the Cabinet. As for whether the contract must be extended or not, Mr. Suthin said that he must see how the Attorney General’s Office responds. Because the request to extend the contract must also be submitted to the Cabinet and does not need to be
submitted to the Council of State for interpretation.

However, if the Navy disagrees with the Cabinet’s opinion, what will they do? Mr. Suthin said that if he disagrees, he will adhere to the Cabinet’s resolution as the main principle, because the Cabinet’s resolution is the highest decision-making body, and the Cabinet will listen to needs and opinions. There is a large army. However, it is thought that this does not affect the consideration of the budget for 2024 because there was nothing in the submarine budget in 2024. There is only an old budget to build a pier. In the meantime, keep doing this.

‘Even though I may not get a submarine, It was adapted for other uses, such as being a commercial shipyard. Or a frigate instead. After inquiring, it can be used in many other ways, without wasting anything. It can be done, but only in the final stages. Haven’t reached phase 3 yet and haven’t signed the contract yet. which is the direct design of the submarine dock and maintenance facility. Not yet signed. The
first 2 phases can be used on general ships. That is general infrastructure,’ Mr. Suthin said.

While Mr. Settha Thavisin, the Prime Minister, gave his opinion on whether or not a submarine was available, Mr. Suthin said that the Prime Minister should adhere to the law and look at the needs of the Navy. And as he said in the House of Representatives If not really necessary If international relations can be maintained, then maintain them unless absolutely necessary.

As for the news that the Navy goes to negotiate or lobby political parties. In order for this matter to be passed and the submarine can continue to be built, Mr. Suthin said that Young, if you lobby, must lobby. Minister of Defense as well I would like to confirm that there is none, including at this time there are no arms dealers lobbying the Minister of Defense. There is only a line sent. or sent via social media. But in this matter, the minister cannot decide alone. Because of fear of the law And I don’t want to risk it. Adhere to the principle
of honesty as a shield.-313.-Thai News Agency

S. Korean golf legend Pak Se-ri to host LPGA tournament in LA

South Korean golf legend Pak Se-ri will team up with a global investment firm to host a newly named tournament on the LPGA Tour, officials have announced.

The LPGA Tour announced Tuesday (U.S. time) that Pak and the Silicon Valley-based investment company Fir Hills will stage the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship from March 18-24 at Palos Verdes Golf Club in suburban Los Angeles.

The 72-hole tournament will have a field of 144 players competing for a US$2 million purse, up by $250,000 from last year, when it was called the DIO Implant LA Open.

Pak, a World Golf Hall of Famer, was a trailblazer in women’s golf for South Korea and across Asia. She burst onto the LPGA scene in 1998, winning the first two of her five career major titles en route to capturing the Rookie of the Year award.

Her playoff victory at the U.S. Women’s Open at age 20 featured a career-defining shot from near a water hazard on the 72nd hole that forced the 18-hole playoff, and that moment alone inspired a whole generation of South Korea
n girls to pick up the golf club. That group includes future LPGA Hall of Famer Park In-bee and major champions Ryu So-yeon and Choi Na-yeon.

Pak retired after the 2016 season with 25 LPGA titles to her name.

“It is an honor to return to the LPGA Tour as host for the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship at Palos Verdes Golf Club,” Pak said, in a statement released by the LPGA. “Mentoring the next generation of golfers and giving back to the game I love is at the core of everything I do. I’m excited to kick off this new partnership and elevate this tournament to new heights on the LPGA Tour.”

PGA Tour veteran Kim Si-woo wants to stay cool, calm and collect trophies

Still only 28 years old, South Korean golfer Kim Si-woo is already a veteran on the PGA Tour, having first played on the top men’s circuit as a teenager in 2013.

Over the past decade or so, the four-time champion has learned the importance of the mental game of golf. And as he gears up for his title defense at the Sony Open in Hawaii in Honolulu this week, Kim said Wednesday staying more composed on the course is one of his resolutions for the new season.

The fiery player has admittedly struggled with keeping his emotions in check in the past.

“Whenever I hit a bad shot, I used to show my frustration on the outside. I would have difficulty controlling my emotions and get visibly upset,” Kim said from Waialae Country Club during an online press conference with South Korean media. “It’s something my parents and my wife often pointed out. Starting this year, I will try not to be so demonstrative with my emotions. My mindset now is to forget about a bad shot quickly and focus on the next play, instead of lett
ing my frustration boil over. I want to stay positive, no matter how poorly I play.”

At every chance he’s had, Kim has thanked his wife, former Korean LPGA Tour star Oh Ji-hyun, for keeping him grounded and serving as his rock. The two tied the knot in December 2022 and traveled to Hawaii together for Kim’s Sony Open appearance.

What the couple had planned as a workation-like honeymoon ended up being Kim’s fourth career PGA Tour title. The newlyweds left Honolulu US$1.42 million richer too.

“After getting married, I started feeling much more settled down,” Kim said. “While we were dating, we were still playing on our own tours, and so we couldn’t be together that much. But we’re always together now, and having her by my side puts my mind at ease even when I am not playing well.”

Kim and Oh are expecting their first child in March, and Kim said this week’s Sony Open will be the last tournament Oh will attend before that.

“I always enjoy opening the season in Hawaii and winning last year’s tournament with
my wife here is the best memory I have of this place,” Kim said. “I am really happy to be back here with her.”

Kim said he wants to build on some solid performances from last week’s season opener, The Sentry, in Kapalua, Hawaii. Kim made only three bogeys over 72 holes there while shooting a 20-under 272 to tie for 25th. He had bogey-free rounds on Friday and Sunday.

“Coming off a long winter break, I didn’t think my game was that sharp, and I was worried that I hadn’t practiced enough,” Kim said. “I didn’t have a lot of confidence in my game after the first day. But I went into the second round looking to be more aggressive, and I was able to regain my confidence. If I can play with the same type of conviction this week, I should have a good tournament.”

Kim will try to become only the second South Korean to defend a PGA Tour title, after Lee Kyoung-hoon won back-to-back AT and T Byron Nelson titles in 2021-2022.

Kim didn’t pick up another win last season after his Sony Open victory, though he recorded f
our more top-10 finishes and qualified for the season-ending Tour Championship.

“I wanted to add another win after the Sony Open, but I still gave myself a couple of cracks,” Kim said. “I was satisfied with how the season played out. I felt like I played really steady golf, and hopefully I can continue to do that this year. I would love to win at least one tournament and qualify for the Tour Championship again in 2024.”
