SCGC offers digital solutions
SCG Chemicals (SCGC) plans to earn 2 billion baht over 3-5 years from its new business offering digital solutions to customers across industries that want to improve factory operations. The new business, called a "digital reliability service solution" (DRS), should help the company rack up revenue in addition to earnings from its Long Son Petrochemicals (LSP) complex in Vietnam, which is expected to benefit from the US-Vietnam new trade deal. "DRS will enhance factory management with the help of digital technology. It can enhance ordinary factory operations to become smart manufacturing," said Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud, chief executive and president of SCGC. Target customers are companies in oil and gas, petrochemical and food and beverage industries, he said. DRS helps manufacturers improve machinery maintenance, reduce costs and save time on factory operations, which should increase productivity, said Mr Sakchai. SCGC is aware of global economic challenges, including the impact of geopolitical conflicts, trade wars and US reciprocal tariffs, he said. "We will not be affected by the US tariffs because we do not directly export products to the American market," said Mr Sakchai. "In fact, we will benefit from the tariff policy because our petrochemical factory in Vietnam needs US-sourced ethane." US President Donald Trump initially planned to slap a 46% tariff on goods imports from Vietnam to ease the US's trade deficit with Vietnam, but after negotiations a rate of 20% was agreed upon, with a 40% levy on transshipments from third countries through Vietnam, provided Vietnam applies no tariffs on US imports, according to media reports. LSP, which is owned by SCGC, buys ethane, a colourless, odourless gaseous hydrocarbon, from the US as a raw material to reduce its dependence on naphtha, which is a product of fossil fuels. Using ethane can help the company lower feedstock costs by more than 30% compared with the current naphtha price. SCGC spent money to upgrade LSP so it can use ethane. LSP is scheduled to start commercial operations between August and September this year.

Zul-Qarnain Kwame Natambuj, arrested Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl performer, was shot at by Antonio Brown
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a 41-year-old New Orleans resident, has been arrested for his actions during the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl LIX halftime show. The background performer was seen bringing up a Sudanese flag bearing the message 'Sudan and Free Gaza' in a sign of protest 'and disrupted the halftime show by running across the field with the flag'. Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu was arrested on Thursday(X) 'We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,' NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. On February 9, during Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show at the Caesars Superdome, Nantambu, hired as an extra performer, disrupted the performance by running across the field with a Sudanese flag. The Louisiana State Police (LSP) arrested him on Thursday, charging him with resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly, per a press release. Nantambu, authorized to be on the field, deviated from his role, ignored security commands, and was apprehended after a chase. He surrendered after an arrest warrant was issued and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center, authorities said. Antonio Brown Shooting Incident On May 16,, Nantambu was allegedly shot at by former NFL player Antonio Brown during an altercation outside an amateur boxing event in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. Brown, 36, reportedly grabbed a security guard's handgun and fired two shots at Nantambu after a fistfight, with one bullet grazing his neck. Nantambu told The New York Post that Brown thought he'd 'get a free kill' under Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law, citing a prior dispute over a stolen pendant in Dubai in 2022. The former NFL star now faces a second-degree attempted murder charge, carrying up to 15 years in prison. Brown is yet to respond to the latest revelations.
