Charges dropped against ex-KTBST chair
Win Udomrachtavanich, the former executive chairman of KTB Securities (Thailand) (KTBST), has been officially cleared of all stock manipulation charges in a case filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) nearly two years ago, after the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) issued a final non-prosecution order. In a statement released to the media and via his personal Facebook page, Mr Win said he had received an official notice from the ECD indicating that the case related to the trading of Thai Enger Holding (TIGER), originally filed by the SEC in September 2023, would not proceed to prosecution. "Both the police and the public prosecutor unanimously agreed not to indict. This decision brings the matter to a final close," Mr Win said. The SEC had accused Mr Win and three others -- Ratachai Teratanavat, Vijchu Chantatab, and Shanya Pengpunpat -- of colluding to manipulate the price and/or trading volume of TIGER shares over five trading days between Oct 24–29 and on Nov 13, 2018. The company is listed on the Market for Alternative Investment. According to the SEC's original complaint, the group allegedly coordinated actions that resulted in artificially inflating the share price of TIGER above its initial public offering (IPO) level of 3.65 baht per share. The manipulation was said to have misled investors into believing that there was unusually high market demand for the stock. The SEC cited violations under Sections 244/3 (1) and (2) of the Securities and Exchange Act B E 2535, in conjunction with Section 83 of the Penal Code, and Section 315 of the Securities Act, depending on the circumstances. The SEC has so far not provided any response to a Bangkok Post request with regard to Mr Win's statement. KTBST group, a Thai financial consultancy, along with its subsidiaries changed their name and logo to DAOL (Thailand), effective as of Aug 15, 2022. In his Facebook post, Mr Win also expressed forgiveness towards those he claimed had wronged him during the ordeal, which he described as damaging to his reputation, career, and personal well-being. "It has been two long years of loss and learning. Now I'm ready to move forward, find work again, and hopefully reclaim what was lost," he wrote. The case garnered significant attention when the SEC referred the matter to the police late in 2023, marking one of the most high-profile stock manipulation investigations involving a former securities firm executive in the country over recent years.

Bank amplifies conservation values with exhibition
Zamzamzairani (back, centre) together with members of Maybank's board of directors, senior management and panel of juries with the 28 winners of the art competition. MAYBANK Foundation, the social impact arm of Maybank Group, launched its eighth MyTIGER Values Art Competition and Exhibition (MTVACE) 2025 at Balai Seni Maybank. The event saw 28 young Malaysian artists winning prizes for successfully expressing the power of social impact through the lens of art and design. This initiative provided a creative avenue for students to interpret the group's TIGER (Teamwork, Integrity, Growth, Excellence and Efficiency, and Relationship Building) values into visuals through compelling and thought-provoking artworks. It also raises awareness of the importance of tiger conservation efforts and addressing the 12 selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The competition attracted 2,355 submissions from students of 300 schools and learning institutions nationwide. This year's competition, which ran from March 6 to April 18, culminated with winners in the primary and secondary school and university categories. Among those present at the launch were Maybank chairman Tan Sri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, group chief sustainability officer Shahril Azuar Jimin and Maybank Foundation chief executive officer Izlyn Ramli. In his speech, Zamzamzairani emphasised the bank's commitment to nurturing holistic development. 'We believe values and creativity go hand in hand in shaping responsible and future-ready citizens. He said the competition had grown into a platform that not only celebrated artistic expression, but also nurtured social awareness and community engagement among the youth, providing them with the opportunity to step forward to tell their story of hope, perseverance and optimism of the tiger. Izlyn said art has the ability to bridge values with emotion and context. 'Through this programme, we provide young creatives with a voice to advocate for a better world – one that is aligned with the principles of sustainability, inclusivity and empowerment.' The exhibition showcases artworks consisting of photo imaging, illustration and sequential art that are innovative and express the artist's abilities to convey powerful narratives that evoke emotions. University category's Sequential Art winner Lim Xin Jie, 19, from International Medical University, said the competition encouraged him to dig deeper into what values really meant today. 'Representing complex ideas like climate action and integrity through sequential art was a challenge, but it strengthened my purpose as a visual storyteller.' Primary school first-prize winner Teng Ziyu, 8, illustrated how teamwork could help save the environment. 'I believe small actions can make a big difference,' said Ziyu. The exhibition is part of the Balai Seni Art Series, the foundation's arts and culture initiative. Visitors to the exhibition can make donations in support of tiger preservation efforts carried out in collaboration with WWF-Malaysia. The exhibition is open to the public until June 13. Viewing hours are 10am to 5pm on weekdays, except public holidays. Entry is free. For details, visit
