Delta Electronics employee dies after being denied sick leave; Company launches investigation
Bangkok: A 30-year-old employee at Delta Electronics Thailand passed away a day after her request for additional sick leave was denied by her manager. The employee, identified as May, was previously hospitalised for four days due to an inflamed large intestine. Despite her condition, she returned to work out of fear of losing her job.
According to reports, May had requested another day off to recover, but her manager insisted she come to the office with a new medical certificate. Shortly after resuming her duties, she collapsed and was rushed for emergency surgery, but succumbed to necrotizing enterocolitis the same day.
Delta Electronics expressed its condolences in a public statement and announced a comprehensive investigation into the incident. Victor Cheng, CEO of Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL, stated, “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our team members. Our priority is to provide support to the family during this difficult time.”
The company emphasised its commitment to transparency and responsibility and requested the public not to speculate as the investigation is ongoing.

Pope Leo XIV blasts 'delusion of omnipotence' fueling the US-Israeli war in Iran
Rome AP: In his strongest words yet, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday denounced the “delusion of omnipotence” that is fueling the US-Israel war in Iran and demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace.
Leo presided over an evening prayer service in St. Peter's Basilica on the same day the United States and Iran began face-to-face negotiations in Pakistan and as a fragile ceasefire held.
History's first US-born pope didn't mention the United States or President Donald Trump in his prayer, which was planned before the talks were announced. But Leo's tone and message appeared directed at Trump and US officials, who have boasted of US military superiority and justified the war in religious terms.
“Enough of the idolatry of self and money!” Leo demanded. “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!”
