Our news correspondant reports that the Siamese King Pinklao Chalkri has lost his traditional calmness when he listened to the reports that Perak and Selangor piracy against the Siamese kingdom have recently doubled, and has openly called for a military intervention against piracy, locking himself in the war-room.

The issue first started when King Pinklao Chalkri asked for the Perak and Selangor repayment of debts after they declared bankrupcy a year ago.  Perak and Selangor sultans told them they couldn't and wouldn't pay back but the King Pinklao Chalkri warnedthem with negative consecuences if they didn't pay on time, so the Perak and Selangor sultans "got creative" and had the audacity of doubling the piracy to Siamese (and Danish) merchants in order to get the requested money.

When news came to the King Pinklao Chalkri that the Perak and Selangor idea for "repayment" was openly stealing and pirating Siamese and Danish ship vessels, the Siamese King Pinklao Chalkri finally lost it, and has threatened war to both Perak and Selangor under the following casus-belli:

1- Enforce Non-Piracy Agreement to Perak and Selangor to end piracy

2- Enforce Money Transfer to Perak and Selangor as compensation for the unilateral default.

3- Enforce Trade Privileges to Perak and Selangor as compensation for the piracy.

After hearing the news, the Sultan of Johore, Ali Iskandar, requested a meeting with the Siamese King Pinklao Chalkri. The King Pinklao Chalkri informed him that the Sultan of Johore wouldn't be attacked (as he hadn't defaulted in his debt but he did engage in some minor piracy) as long as he was willing to sign a binding Non-Piracy agreement treaty for 25 years in which he compromised to stop all piracy and pay a weekly Money Transfer to Siam as historical compensation of past piracy. The Sultan of Johore, though about the proposal and seems open to accept in order to prevent any hostilities.
