Mong Thongdee, the stateless boy, won the third in the individual event in the All-Japan Origami Airplane Contest in Japan on Sunday. Mong is a stateless boy who was born in Thailand to Burmese migrants. Mong, of Chiang Mai province, won paper plane competition in Thailand and was entitled to contest in Japan. However the Interior Ministry initially rejected his application to have a temporary travel document to go to Japan on the grounds that he is stateless boy. However the ministry changed the position after several people, including PM Abhisit Vejjajiva, stepped in. (Nation/AP)
