BANGKOK - An online anti-Red Bull campaign has rolled out in Thailand as the public are fueled by the hit-and-run case of the fugitive Red Bull heir, local media reported Monday. The campaign, known as "Say no to Red Bull," has called on the mass to stop buying Red Bull drink since Vorayuth Yoovidhya, the heir to the energy drink fortune, continued to pursue his luxurious lifestyle, freely traveling in and out of Thailand though an arrest warrant for him was issued last month. The warrant came almost five years after Vorayuth allegedly smashed his Ferrari into a police officer in 2012 and sped away, dragging the body along a downtown Bangkok road for hundreds of meters. The 32-year-old kin of the super rich clan owning half of the Red Bull energy drink company faces charges of reckless driving causing death, speeding and hit-and-run. He never appeared in court, telling prosecutors through his lawyer that he was too sick or having a business trip abroad. Allegations did not stop him from enjoying extravagant trips to more than nine countries, attending Grand Prix races with team Red Bull and visiting beach resorts, which has gone viral in social media. He was lately found leaving Thailand for Singapore on April 25, two days before a summon to court, according to Bangkok Post. However, the wanted left Singapore on April 27, abandoning his private jet there and his current whereabouts are unknown, which made the ministry of foreign affairs revoke his passport on May 5. Vorayuth's father is Thailand's fourth richest billionaire, according to Forbes. His grandfather, the co-founder of the Red Bull brand, died in 2012 leaving a wealth of more than 20 billion US dollars. Many question why it takes five years to issue a warrant in such a deadly case, criticizing that the country's judicial system is warped by cash and influences. aa wristbandswristband makercheap silicone wristbandshow to make rubber braceletsrubber bracelet maker
Doctors examine a patient's CT images at a hospital in Beijing. PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY China will intensify efforts to ensure the health privacy of patients while encouraging the integration of healthcare services with internet technologies to provide better services, China's top health authority said. Health authorities have strict and specific regulations for hospitals over the maintenance and use of patients' paper records and other information, and we are researching how to ensure the security of their electronic data, Jiao Yahui, deputy chief for medical administration and supervision at the National Health Commission, said at a news conference on Thursday. The commission is also working with experts in legal affairs, information and hospital management to decide the proprietorship of patients' electronics records, so it would be clear who will be able to use such data and in what way, she said. Hospitals must set up special technical departments to build and operate information systems concerning patients' electronics data, and such data must be preserved for at least 15 years for outpatients and at least 30 years for inpatients, according to a national regulation adopted by the National Health Commission on April 1. Electronic records are widely used in Chinese hospitals, but such data are generally not shared between hospitals. Hospitals and health authorities should improve protection mechanisms regarding patients' data, said Liu Yuhong, director of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital's information department. Protection of patients' privacy and data privacy should also be the key consideration for software developers, he said. Sun Yang, president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, which has more than half of its outpatients come from outside Beijing, said the hospital has been linked with nearly 3,000 medical institutions across China to provide them with guidance in diagnosis and treatment. This saves patients time and money and they do not have to come to the hospital for high quality treatment, he said.
