The Nation (Thailand)
Prime Minster Samak Sundaravej Sunday denounced protests over Preah Vihear registration as a world heritage site as "unreasonable', saying Thailand lost the ancient Hindu temple 45 years ago.
Without mentioning name, Samak apparently blamed former Democrat Party leader Chaun Leekpai for the loss after the 'lawyer' from the Democrat Party made a mistake in a battle in the World Court 45 years ago.
Speaking during his Talk Samak Style on NBT Channel, Samak said the People's Alliance for Democracy played up the Preah Vihear issue unreasonably and out of proportion to mislead the public to think that Thailand will now lost its territory because of the world heritage registration.
"[Democrats] should ask their aged senior in the party what happened," Samak said, apparently referring to Chuan.
"Our lawyer agreed to accept their map so the World Court ruled that we lost the Preah Vihear.
On Saturday, the People Power Party said Chuan, who represented Thailand as the lawyer lost the court case, causing Thailand to lose Preah Vihear to Cambodia.
Samak said Thailand lost the Hindu temple to Cambodia by the ruling of World Court 45 years ago.
He said Cambodia has been hoisting flag over Preah Vihear for 45 years with nobody opposing it but the PAD just campaigned about it now.
He said Cambodia was now registering its Preah Vihear over its land as a world heritage site and had nothing to do with Thailand.
"But I don't know what on earth [the PAD] is campaigning about regarding to Preah Vihear. We have not lost any land because of the registration of the world heritage site because we lost the temple 45 years ago," Samak said.
"They are handling the affair of their own country," Samak added.
He said the Thai military had affirmed that the registration of Preah Vihear as a world heritage site would not affect Thailand's territory but nobody listened.
He said the PAD managed to play up the issue so much that "a woman who makes her living by making expensive clothes announced that she would give up her life for the issue".
Samak said the PAD also linked the issue to the golf playing between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen with former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra also the issues were not related.

Yep, democrat always lost things to other countries. I hope the democrat will never rule Cambodia. We can't afford to lose anymore thing right now.
The Thaicong population is more stupid than I thought! It is about time that the Thaicong population needs to listen to their leaders who would never give an inch of Thailame to Cambodia!
In Thailame, the Thaicong population thinks that they know something and that something can't even prove in the court of law and the worst part of it all is that they allow their blind ambition to lead them which will lead them to destruction for sure one day!
Yeah, but who can prove anything in a Kangaroo court?
4:50p.m,
Are you saying that The International court in 1962 was a Kangaroo Court? I got news for you. You're a Kangaroo! Now go home and get the rest of you Kangaroo people off the street from protesting and if you also think that your PM is kangaroo, you really are a stupid Kangaroo and F*ck.Off!
If Thai wants to claim Preah Vihear temple and surrounding area are belonging to them, why don't Khmer government claims back Khmer Surin and other Khmers who live in several provinces in Thailand back from Thai?
Those lands are belonging to Khmer since Khmer Angkor.
The Khmer government needs to claim back Kampuchea Krom Back from Hanoi too. But, with this Hun Sen government rule, we won't see that happen. We keep lost territory to Hanoi and Siem because we have the stupid Khmer leader and king.
ils n'ont pas honte les tyrans thaïlandais de dire qu'ils ont perdu le temple de preah vihear depuis 45 ans. c'est n'importe quoi!!! le temple a été construit par les rois khmers et il appartient au cambodge.
les thaïlandais, leur origine, tous les peuples cambodgiens connaissent bien qu'ils sont des voleurs. alors à travers des longs siècle, ils n'abandonnent pas sa culture, voler encore la terre du cambodge!!!
PM Chuan Leekpai doesn't look as much Khmer PM Samak Sundaravej is, but PM Chuan Leekpai looks a lot more Khmer than Ah Scam Rainxy is though.
correction: PM Chuan Leekpai doesn't look as much Khmer as PM Samak Sundaravej is, but He (Chuan Leekpai) looks a lot more Khmer than Ah Scam Rainxy is though.
Yeah 9:27 PM, and you fucking father SOB doesn't look anything like Khmer at all because you fucking father is a Viet commie black teeth, dog eater from Hanoi eh?
Well, go back to eat dog in Hanoi, you fucking Viet parasite!!!
And leave Khmer people alone!!!
SIAMTHAI have to clean the windows and eyes wax daily in order to see what the true Story is MR. SAMAK you're SIAMTHAI intelectual PM should re form Siamthai Culture Education System to allowed all Siamthai offspring learning the true picture, especially Khmer, Siamthai History. Otherwise your internal problem won't be able to be solved, as you have seen at the moment they worked so hard follow a blinful (PAD) for non sence; because this group of people used to absorb mislead enformation by Siathai education system for so long.
4:50PM a number of thieves when get catched by owner or authority they always denial or makes an irresponsible comments. Do you think that SIAMTAI'court is beter then KANGKAROO? not at all; if you have more available time PLS read this text response from your PM Mr. SAMAK then you will be able to get some conception what is right and what is wrong!, I don't blame much on you because your primary brain used to absorb the mislead information of History. Khmer people had been lost imense teritory but Khmer is staying guiet, but Khmer is forsight nation. God bless CambodiaI
Sham on you SIAMTHAI
Samak is right. Preah Vihear is Khmer with Khmer flag flying for 45 year since world court decision of 1962. Where have these Thai democrat party and the PAD been all these years. These people are not young kids. These Thai democrats and the PAD just want to cause animosity between the 2 countries for their political gain. They should go back to learn and respect international laws, not just open their dirty mouth for political reasons..
Fuck international law. This is not a threat to the international community. It is a local issue between Khmer and Khmer-Thai, and they must resolved it by themselves.
Hmmmm 2:55 AM....Well, it just so happened that the international court at the Hague had decided that it belonged to Cambodia..any more question?
Because historically and to this day, 2:55AM, the God damn Thai bandit loves to be bandit and continues to be "bandit", got that? In short the thai was born bandit just as the Viet was born parasite and plunderer!!!
it is very shameful how they educated their people to learn false history. Preah Vihear temple was built by khmer people, not belong to Thai. Thai nation was created late 12th century, and the temple was built in 11th century. The land belonged to the khmer empire one thousand years ago.
Please keep cool and stay cool.
I don't doubt your nationalism, but keep your comments mature and civilized.
Yes, Preah Vihear belongs to us, and will stay so. We got the legitimacy on our side, in the eyes of history and in international standing.
They can go all the way back to 11th century, if they want to talk history.
Nonetheless, throwing personal attacks at everyone does not help our causes. It just shows our lack of patience and confidence.
Show the world that we are much better than that.
