5:35 pm
this or not the one that's being banned in countries like ty, one and malaysia is the special check can flavor, but of course we also have a question of whether we should consume other flavor or not and we're still waiting whether the fluid and the drug agency here in an asia. we'll do another testing for other flavors as well. but it's interesting that that being bends in some way, like type one, but not in indonesia. it does that suggest that health safety standards, a lower and innovation unfortunately. but if we have to admit that indonesia has a lower standard, when it comes to food safety, like you mentioned, tie one pro prohibits the presence of actually an oxide in all of their food products. well here in indonesia, the food and drop monitoring agency confirmed by the instant noodle that contained

the ashley and oxide, but still in a safety level. the chicken flavor contain 0.34 parts per millions where the standards that being help for the food products manufacturer in indonesia is $85.00 parts per 1000000 of ashleen oxides. so yeah, that's also raise a concern whether we have to keep this or we have to recalculate the standards that being implemented in the country. okay, so rebecca? well, people talk about this possibly a bowl of noodles. what are active is chances of actually seeing more concrete measures taken in indonesia when it comes to these noodles and food safety and, and, you know, concerns for the public yes, this is not the for it's time where the innovation instant noodle, being bad in other country and it's still being solved and enjoyed in the country

5:38 pm
registered to cost the ballots early. the election on may 14th and shaping up to be a time span who between establishment policies backed by the pound for army and research and don't position. the political challenges in thailand run deep added snow different with the environment. the country has to contend with extreme heat, rising sea levels and re quote, pollution. but green issues don't seem to resonate with faults. thailand, skies are choked with smoke and smoke from forest fires and seasonal crop burning. air pollution in some cities has reached record highs, fonts that, you know, i, and founder of thailand's green party says voters understand what's at stake. but they're still not likely to vote for him getting hit on the one, the recurring issues, a pretty big likes to find positive, pollution hotspots and heat waves looked at some people acknowledge those problems,
5:39 pm

5:40 pm
voters are focused on the power struggle at the top 2 opposition parties trying to unseat the government with its ties to the military and royal family. the green platform is a side show. yes, the pollution issue is quite a big thing. and in the global scale, but i think the, the most important part of the problem in thailand is not only the pollution in my opinion, i think like the most serious problem is the system type government and how they organize. then the recent polls agree the most popular parties aren't the ones making the environment of priority while the greens are lagging far behind. but whoever wins can't ignore the small and filled skies forever. to india now,
