BANGKOK, Nov 24 (TNA) – Miss Universe Thailand 2021 Anchilee Scott-Kemmis was accused of violating the Flag Act for a poster showing her standing on a picture resembling the Thai national flag.
Sonthiya Sawasdee, former advisor to the House committee on laws, justice and human rights, filed the accusation with the Metropolitan Police Bureau. He asked police to charge her with abusing the Thai flag in violation of Sections 53 and 54 of the Flag Act, Section 118 of the Criminal Code and an announcement of the Prime Minister’s Office in 2020.
Mr. Sonthiya said he wanted the police bureau to check if the use of the Thai flag was legal because the Miss Universe Thailand had many followers in social media.
The Miss Universe Thailand might not have any ill intention but officials concerned should investigate the intention of the Miss Universe Thailand organizing team in the picture.
Ms. Scott-Kemmis left for the Miss Universe 2021 pageant in Israel at 11.30pm yesterday. (TNA)
