The Criminal Investigation Bureau urged the public not to easily trust high-profit investment messages, as they have received reports of people falling victim to fake investment scams and being persuaded to mortgage their properties for loans. Scam groups operate through fake investment apps or websites, initially offering small profits to entice victims to invest more, then demanding large amounts of guarantee money or service fees when victims try to withdraw their profits. One victim in Tainan was swindled of over 12 million New Taiwan dollars by mortgaging her property for a fake investment scheme. The bureau warns that scam groups often use enticing short-term profit ads on social media to lure victims into mortgage scams, urging caution and advising investments through authorized financial institutions approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission to protect investors' rights.

According to Liberty Times, KMT legislator Hsu Yu-chen has proposed a draft amendment to the Public Official Election and Recall Law, suggesting that recall should not occur within one year of taking office and that the approval votes for recall should exceed the votes received in the election. This is seen as a move to assist Keelung Mayor Ko Chin-lung and the blue camp's recall efforts. DPP legislative caucus secretary-general Wu Szu-yao stated that this is in opposition to public opinion and believes the People's Party will not become a KMT affiliate this time. Wu emphasized that recall is a basic right granted by the Constitution to the people to remove unsuitable leaders or legislators. In response to the highly controversial and political nature of this amendment, the position of the People's Party becomes crucial, with all 8 of their legislators being party-list members unlikely to face recall threats, indicating they may not cooperate with the KMT as an affiliated group or become a political sacrifice for the KMT.

Known for the Moai statues, Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers at least 900 years ago, with a significant population decline starting in the early 18th century. Previous studies suggested that the island's collapse was due to exceeding its natural resource capacity, but new research challenges this. A recent study published in Science Advances used satellite technology to analyze the island's rock mulching fields and estimated a population capacity much lower than previously believed, indicating that the collapse may have occurred after European contact due to introduced diseases.

In a high school in Tambon Kham Dong, Trang Province, Thailand, a fatal incident occurred during a sports event. The male student tried to switch off a water dispenser and was electrocuted, falling to the ground. Despite many teachers and students present during the accident, they were afraid of being electrocuted and delayed their rescue efforts. By the time the student was finally taken to the hospital, it was too late. Video footage shared on a local Thailand Facebook page shows the incident and the delayed rescue response. The preliminary suspicion is that the water dispenser and tap were leaking electricity, compounded by the rainy weather causing a moist environment, leading to the fatal electrocution accident.
