The Peaceful Society Promotion Act was published in the Royal Gazette and takes effect Monday. It covers political offences from Jan 1, 2005 to July 16, 2025, such as sedition, emergency-decree violations, assembly offences and some computer crimes. Lese majeste (Section 112), corruption, and offences causing death or serious injury are excluded, as are offences involving private individuals. A nine-member committee chaired by the prime minister decides who qualifies. For most business owners this is a legal and political matter with no direct effect on operations, though staff or partners with past political cases may see records cleared.
