BANGKOK: Sebuah komuniti di Thailand menjadi tular, gara-gara menggunakan anak patung watak animasi Jepun, Doraemon menggantikan kucing hidup untuk upacara tradisional memanggil hujan.
Anak patung Doraemon itu turut diarak ke sekitar jalan utama di Khao Khala selepas kawasan tersebut berdepan kemarau berpanjangan sejak beberapa bulan lalu.
Difahamkan, upacara itu digelar 'Hae Nang Meaw' atau perarakan kucing oleh masyarakat setempat dan ia biasanya dilakukan golongan petani.
Adat unik itu mendapat perhatian pengguna media sosial selepas ia dikongsi penyelidik, Dr Tarin Clanuwat dari Waseda University di platform X.
Sehingga Khamis, ciapan itu telah mendapat lebih 16 juta tontonan, 219,000 tanda suka dan lebih 39,000 siar semula.
Sepanjang bulan lalu, Thailand berdepan gelombang haba luar biasa dengan lebih 30 daerah di seluruh 77 wilayah berdepan suhu panas ekstrem.
Menurut data Jabatan Meteorologi, suhu di negara itu telah melepasi 40 darjah Celsius di 26 provinsi pada bulan April. - Sinar Harian memetik agensi

PM lawat Bazar Ramadan Seksyen 2, nasihat peniaga jaga harga jualan, kebersihan
Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hari ini meluangkan masa melawat peniaga dan beramah mesra bersama pengunjung Bazar Ramadan Seksyen 2 di sini.
Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?
Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
