AsiaOne reports that for the first time in Thailand, hundreds of people have taken legal action against relevant authorities and officials, including the prime minister, over the flood crisis, writes Chularat Saengpassa for AsiaOne. "It's going to be a historic case," said the Stop Global Warming Association (SGWA) president Srisuwan Janya. He said the government had the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act in place but failed to enforce it for the flood-prevention and flood-relief operations.
