Hat Yai Residents Cry Foul: Names Submitted But Money Never Received

As the election campaign enters its final stage on February 3rd, vote-buying allegations continue to emerge. A Facebook page 'Saw Pao - This Needs Attention' has posted a list of names from Hat Yai District 8, revealing that residents who submitted their names to community leaders have not received the promised funds. Some residents discovered their names on lists without their consent, while others confirmed submitting names but never receiving payment. Suspicions have arisen that intermediaries or local political operatives might be collecting names and claiming funds for themselves. Residents are concerned about potential identity fraud, where old documents might be reused in the new election, with people's names being used without their knowledge to collect money. They are calling for a thorough investigation to ensure transparency.
