Khwan Usamanee remains confident that Ajarn Beer is a dharma teacher with good intentions and transparency, urging netizens not to curse or judge him before hearing the truth. The matter has become a focal point of public interest as Ajarn Beer faces scrutiny. At the Bangkok City International Fashion Week 2026, celebrating the 23rd anniversary of Finale Wedding Studio, Khwan spoke to the media, affirming his pure heart and viewing the official investigation as proper. She said Ajarn Beer's team is prepared to release all evidence transparently and asked fans not to attack anyone without knowing the facts.

Asked whether people are worried about the investigation, Khwan said everyone has their professional duty; investigators should investigate, while her brother's duty is to make everything transparent. She stressed that the suspicions are not about serious wrongdoing, and they simply want to present documents so everyone can see. She believes intentions and actions align — they intend good and act good — and that truth will ultimately prevail. Knowing him closely, she is certain he has done nothing wrong; misunderstandings happen, but they can be clarified through dialogue. She added that Ajarn Beer and his fellow monk still care for each other.

On whether Ajarn Beer is stressed, Khwan said he has strong faith in his path, though one cannot make everyone love them. Their intentions are the same; only their expressions differ.

Regarding donation amounts, Khwan said the figures she has seen are not huge. Income from livestreams went to flood relief, and another portion funded a meditation center as a spiritual anchor for a community. Asked if she fears money might change him, she replied that money reveals a person's true character; if someone is good from the start, no amount of money can sway them, and a firm, good-hearted mind remains unshaken.

Legal Committee Votes 7-0 to Summon Prime Minister

A House legal affairs committee voted 7-0 to invoke summoning powers against the Prime Minister over the non-appearance of a senior official. MP Nikorn Chamnong argues the move may lack legal basis since the Interior Minister had already ordered the official to attend, but he was occupied with flood relief duties. Nikorn warns the committee's action risks ethical violations and stresses that such powers require clear evidence and strict procedural compliance.

Opposition MP Accuses House Speaker of Bias in Five Key Areas

People's Party list-MP Prasit Watcharasin has publicly challenged House Speaker Soraporn Sarom on five points he says violate the Speaker's own declared duty of neutrality. The criticisms include endorsing restrictive committee rules that could shield the government from scrutiny, blocking a citizen-backed bill on the October 6 massacre, and delaying a petition to review the NACC's dismissal of a stock-manipulation case against a former minister for 155 days — far longer than a similar case handled by the previous National Assembly president.
