The government has warned people to stop sharing social media posts that could cause rifts between different religious groups. Government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said authorities have found a wide sample of social media posts that state the cabinet allots a disproportional amount of funds to Muslim groups. "The shared [social media] messages do not reflect this fact and are detrimental to the country. However, the central provincial mosque in Nakhon Si Thammarat was approved of and funded by the central government's cabinet in 2012. This runs contrary to social media reports of a salary of around 18,000 baht, says Lt Gen Sansern.
