Wattanachai changes his tune one more time: denies he linked Khmer Muslims to insurgency in the south

Gen Wattanachai denies he linked Khmer Muslims to insurgency in the south

The Nation (Thailand)


PM's security affairs advisor Gen Wattanachai Chaimuenwong denied saying that some Cambodian Muslims were involving in the insurgency in the deep south of Thailand.

He insisted that no foreign network or persons involved in the violence in the southern provinces of Thailand.

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday issued an angry denial that Cambodian Muslims involved in the insurgency in the south.

"Because of their own weakness, they are now finding others to blame,'' he said at a groundbreaking ceremony for a bridge over the Tonle Sap river.

Some news reports said retired Gen Wattanachai said some Khmer Muslims were part of terror network that actively worked in the south.

Wattanachai on Tuesday said that he never said so.

"What I said is that there are a large number of Cambodian Muslims entering Thailand but they disappeared. We have to find out where they are," he said.

He said he issued a clarification on the matter and asked Thai Foreign Ministry to send it to the Cambodian side.

Shortly after Hun Sen's speech Monday, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong summoned Thai Ambassador to Cambodia Surasak Suparat, the Thai Embassy official, to formally convey the Cambodian government's reaction to the Thai government.

Let us not forget that according to Heng Peov, the daugther of Saddam Hussein visited Cambodia secretly just before the US declared war and overthrew her father, met with Hun Sen and other CPP luminaries and gave HS a substantial amount of money to be given to Muslims groups in Australia and Thailand. Why? May be Thai Intelligence is aware of this? In the "Land in Between" anything is possible.

What Mr. Hun Sen should have done, is reacting normally and finding out if there is any true to it. Insurgency in the deep South of Thailand may be not just be Thailand problem alone, but part of an international attention against Terrorist.

Our PM should know more about The September 11th and what it really really mean to the American. He should do a better job looking after our Muslim people by providing them education and deep understanding to this very sensitive issue for all. This is a safety and peaceful issue that belongs to all around the world and not just Cambodia and Thailand alone.

We need to be well awared of it and be very careful. Both sides are probably on Cambodia now.

Our P.M shoul react normally to any foreign concern and find out if there is any true to it.

Insurgency in the deep South of Thailand may not just be for Thailand alone, but part of The international attention against Terrorism.

Our P.M and our people alike must learn more about The September 11th Event and what it really really mean to the American, Thailand and be one of the person to be called " A Terrorist".

This is a safety and peaceful issue for all around the world.

America was nearly destroyed when The Twin Towers of The World Trade in New York went down from the terrorist crashing their airplanes to them and major military buildings in Washington DC were bombed to the ground. Please don't exspect the government from such great country to just sit back and look at us with just their eyes. That would be a big big mistake and why want to be a part of the terrorism? and not a peace maker? or a normal human being? or a happy family man? What drives you? If you need a job and money find other mean and isn't it the right time that our government should step in to help you now?

Why the fucken Thaicong pretended that the Muslim unrest just happens right now! The Muslim unrest happened as early as 1948! The fucken Thaicong leaders are playing dumb, stupid, and all the above!

It didn't seem that hard for The PM to say to the neighbor: oh, we'll check it out. Didn't know that was going on. instead of Ah Gnop Chapp! Ah Trouv Crop! Ah Antash Banch! they didn't do it! Lord Buddah! makes no sence.

Whatever you say,old Buddy!

Let us present our best guess.

In 1948, The Muslim unrest was just a plan old up set under bad treatment or discrimination from their big majority Thai fellows.

Today, that anger and bitterness plus the new Muslim Holly War which arrives from The Middle East equal a very nasty nasty confrontation.

That confrontation will not stop until it gets confronted head on and that is getting to the buttom of it. Makes sence?

See the connection of the New York twin Towers & The Pantagon building in DC went down to the ground? and The Thai closest relation with The United States? and The Malaysia closest realation with our own Cambodian Muslim? and what was that tiny Oil Rich country next to Malaysia? Wasn't it Brunei? and if Those 2 Malays.. & Brunei which are Muslim countries have sympathy for their Muslim brothers in The Middle East or fail to see what the real damage was done to the Washington and The World and provide helps thru Thai Muslims in deep South of Thailand? What would that tell us?

Shouldn't we be more careful? From Cambodia to The US is far far away and very very remote, but from The US to Cambodia that distance will be cut by 1000%. There is crystal clear that the danger could easily come up from our land and Thailand.

You guys can laugh about it, but we are not. We don't see that it is a laughing matter. We see real trouble are coming if we are not careful. Please help the whole world finding peace and good luck to us!

Our own Muslim men may be and innocently travel to Malaysia thru Thailand for better employment, but do they know that they could be ending up with the suiside bombers chain? Like our own poor ladies went side of the country to look for a better job, but ending up with the real nightmare of the prostitusion chain instead ?

PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD" TRAFFICKING & BECAREFUL LEAVING THE COUNTRY ". count our people, get them proper ID or Pastport, know when they are leaving or coming back and what is their purpose of going there? get better border control, but don't restrict their desire to get out of the country once in a while. We all need some refeshment. Get out and see the world is wonderful!. Take a vacation, have fun and by all mean enjoy life! That is all we are wishing for. We love good life!

OK

To 7:31PM Ordinary Khmer? Or Thaicong sympathizer?

You are connecting the wrong dots here! First of all Thailane is no stranger to arm conflict with Southern Thailand Muslim separatist insurgency since 1948 to late 1980! Thaicong illegally annexed these Muslim Malay land since 1902 according to Anglo-Siam treaty in 1904!

It is so wrong and so stupid for you to connect all Muslim around the world with the World Trade incident! You can't go around classify every Muslim on Earth as terrorist!

Why is it so wrong for Brunei and Malaysia to help Southern Thialane Muslim? The Muslim in Southern Thailane, in Malaysia, and in Brunie is Malay people! The Malay people have every right to help their Muslim brothers and sisters in Southern Thailane!!

What happens in Southern Thailane is a carbon copy of what is happening in Southern Vietname today! This is the same situation with the Khmer Krom people in Southern Vietname and no Cambodian people want to help the Khmer Krom people and as for a Cambodian leader AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave should be ashamed of himself!

If these Malay people can help free their Muslim brother and sister from the Thaicong oppression and domination and I am all for it! I wish I can say the same thing about our Khmer Krom brother and sister who are living under the Vietcong oppression and domination!

Please keep reading future article about the deep South of Thailand and keep the story about our own KK seperately.

Our own KK is fighting for their independence from The Vietcong and they are fighting peacefully thru protesting and by bringing the matter to World's attention thru way of peaceful mean. Not thru arm conflict and confrontation or thru mutilation and violencely cut someone's neck. May be you haven't thought about it, but we did and sometimes wonder where are all these extreme attitudes of the deep South Thai people come from?

To 6:11PM Ordinary Stupid Khmers!

Do you really want to know where all the extreme attitudes came from in Southern Thailane?

Tell me that you haven't witnessed how the Thaicong armies displayed their brutality and the ruthlessness on Cambodian people over the year! Didn't you know that the fucken Thaicong armies kill Cambodian people every year? And they still do and why haven't Cambodian people adopted the extreme attitude of the Southern Thailane Muslim? The reasons that Cambodian people haven't adopted the extreme attitude of the Southern Thailane Muslim because these Cambodian people are stupid and have no respect and love for themselves as human being whatsoever! These stupid Cambodian people believe that everything the Thaicong armies have done to them is "KARMA" and these stupid Cambodian people want to play the role of a victim too! ahahhah

The Muslim in Southern Thailane have so much respect and love for themselves as human being and they won't take any kinds of ruthlessness and brutality from the Thaicong army and that is why these Southern Thailane Muslim displayed their extreme attitude to protect their dignity as human being!

I will say again that what is happening in Southern Thailane is a carbon copy of what is going on in Southern Vietname! The Vietcong armies are no different than that of the Thaicong armies and they all love to kill the Cambodian people!!!

AH LOP! LOP! LOP! Maybe you have no respect and love for yourself as a human being and you like to play the role of a victim yourself too! Give me your ass and let me kick it! Please blame on “KARMA” when I kick your stupid ass! ahahhahahha!
