The Democrat party has urged the government not to rush to support Cambodia's attempt to register Preah Vihear temple as a new World Heritage Site.
Democrat deputy leader Alongkorn Ponlaboot said on Sunday that the government should think carefully before backing the Cambodian effort.
He was speaking after Phnom Penh redrew the boundaries of the ancient temple site to convince the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) that it now deserved to be put on the World Heritage list. The old map, which was opposed by Thailand, included overlapping areas.
Mr Alongkorn said that by supporting Cambodia on the issue, Thailand would automatically lose its right to reclaim sovereignty over Preah Vihear in the future.
On June 15, 1962, the International Court of Justice ruled the ancient temple belonged to Cambodia. Mr Alongkorn said the ruling was unfair and not based on law.
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated later that the demarcation of the disputed areas was questionable, and that was why Thailand wrote to the United Nations secretary-general on July 3, 1962, saying it reserves the right to reclaim the ancient temple in the future, he said.
"The present government has no right to either sell or reclaim Thai sovereignty in this case. Next week, I hope, the National Security Council (NSC) and cabinet will review the issue. Otherwise, it would be a shame and tantamount to betraying the nation and selling Thai sovereignty to another country," Mr Alongkorn said.
He suspects vested interests are behind the move to support Cambodia on the listing.
Mr Alongkorn suggested the government oppose the listing and ask Unesco's World Heritage Committee to drop the issue from the agenda of its July 2-10 meeting in Quebec.
The new Cambodian map will be discussed at the NSC's weekly meeting today. If the NSC approves the map, cabinet is likely to endorse the map tomorrow.

So when would you like to start?

Just pack up and leave for your ancestral land in Nan Chao and become the citizens of the Mongols or Chinese or Tibet or whatever lowlife forms you Siem Kapik deserve to be. Stop grabbing more of the Khmer territory you pathetic fool. I am disgusted to any of the Siem land thieves and grabbers. If you must know, Ah Siems = ah slave dach tlai of the Khmer people. Hahha.

" Mr Alongkorn said that by supporting Cambodia on the issue, Thailand would automatically lose its right to reclaim sovereignty over Preah Vihear in the future."
How Siam politician look like? I think he never read any history books?
Yep, that is what I thought. Ah Khmer-Yuon is 100% fake. They are no democrat but commie. Just look at how scary they are at democratic referendum!
Don't blame on a siam or a yuan khmer pretender 2.20 pm, but a blame it on a real yuan chkaer hun sen, whore nam hong
No, PM Hun Sen didn't try to scam anyone, only Ah Scam Rainxy does.
We are the people of Cambodia. We don't to see the Thai and YOUN that took Khmer's land from some where round the border of the country and exchange with us. The Thai has been known of doing that. Like wise the province of Trat next to Koh Kong use to belong to us but when they exchange that province with Battambang, Siam Reap and Stung Treng back in the early 1900. They took Khmer's property to exchange with us. They have no lost. We were/are the one. Just like with the ocean they both have been encroaching to our water constantly. HUN SEN needs to be smart up. Don't exchange this and exchange that. These neignbors took our stuffs to exchange with us. Look Out!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, the Thai and Yuon doesn't steal any land from Khmer. They risk their life to protect Khmer from Khmer, remember? Just look around if you don't remember. In any case, you can't just kick them out after all that.
To 9:19PM
Yeh...I remembered when your mother raised her skirt so high that she have you with them!
Since the Thaicong and the Vietcong are your father and only you can kick them out! But one day when you get marry and you will have no choice except to kick your own fathers out because it is getting too crowded!
A THIEF NATION INDEED. TREACHEROUS, CUNNING, UNTRUSTWORTHINESS IS A TRAIT FOR SIAMESE EVERYWHERE.
so the thai still think preah vihear belongs to them. well, let the world community decide on it to see who comes out on the winner once and for all. i think don't it's the so-called "4.6km2" bullshit like they have always say; it's the cambodian preah vihear temple that they want. it's so obvious, like a hungry wolf is persuing in a hunt for food. too bad, cambodia can't yield to that wishful think of the thai democratic party or whatever! cambodian democratic party say no way, never!!!! god bless cambodia.
Ah Siam you don't want what your kindness friend HUN SEN Given, that mean you will lose all. Let Khmer reclaim the ancian land back, how about that?. Don't be so aroguant, you should take care well the remaining single eye ball, don't punish yourself to lose this one it will be totally dark. You know what a Loo Karoo myth is talking.
God bless Khmer all inc..Khmer Loeu.
Indeed, Khmer Loeu has been blessed, and they want their temple back.
5:40am, why? it's not thailand's in the first place! it belongs to cambodia. give up the idea of possessing our khmer temple to thailand. don't you khmer leu people know better that cambodia does not want thailand to take our khmer temple anymore like they did in the past dark ages which by the way, they are really good at advantage of cambodia while we were pre-occupied with internal disagreement; so when cambodia is peaceful again, they dare not touch us. what a coward they are showing the world that way. i just don't buy that!
those who love cambodia never say such thing. we can see your true color, thaicong and vietcong!
Who care about Cambodia? we care more of Khmer people.
