Parliament Speaker Praised After X-Ray Security Check. On August 18, 2025, reporters at parliament building documented Parliament Police officers conducting strict inspections and X-ray scanning of belongings at building entrances following a security meeting to strengthen weapon screening procedures and prevent prohibited items or weapons from entering secure areas.

Footage captured Parliament Speaker Sopon Saraum passing through the security checkpoint. Although he is the highest leader of the legislative branch, Parliament Police staff maintained strict and impartial procedures, requesting his cooperation to follow security steps just as they would for any member of parliament, officials, or members of the public, with no exceptions or special passage allowed without screening.

After passing through the X-ray screening process, Sopon gave a thumbs-up endorsement of Parliament Police officers' firm commitment to impartial security measures, stating that parliament is a sacred place and must be a 100% safe zone for everyone who works there.
