20 Thai groups to rally to demand that Cambodians be kicked out near Preah Vihear Temple, what can Hun Sen do to protect them?

Thai FM leaves for World Heritage meeting to explain stand on Preah Vihear Temple

BANGKOK, July 5 (Xinhua) -- The Thai foreign minister left Bangkok Saturday to attend a World Heritage Committee meeting in Quebec, Canada, to explain Thailand's withdrawal of support to Cambodia's application to list the ancient Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site.

Speaking to journalists before his departure, Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said he would officially withdraw Thailand's endorsement of Cambodia's bid to list Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site as stated in an earlier signed Thai-Cambodian Joint Communique, and request the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to postpone its consideration on Phnom Penh's application during this session which began on Wednesday.

The Committee supervised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is due to complete its agenda next Thursday.

Noppadon said he would do whatever he could to defer consideration of listing the temple by explaining to the Committee the circumstances of an injunction granted by Thailand's Administrative Court on June 28, ordering the Thai government to suspend all activities to endorse Cambodia's bid over the Preah Vihear temple.

Noppadon had signed a Joint Communique with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An on June 18, one day after the cabinet approved to endorse a new map of the temple prepared by Cambodia.

The court injunction was granted in response to the petition by the anti-government group People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), and thus prevented Cambodia to cite the Thai government's endorsement as earlier expected in its application at the Quebec meeting.

The Khmer-style Phnom Penh temple, with a history of more than 10 centuries, has long been an issue of dispute between the two countries, both having historically claimed ownership.

The International Court of Justice in 1962 ruled that the temple belonged to Cambodia, while the only practical access by land to the temple, which stands atop a cliff, is from the Thai side of the border in Thailand's northeastern province Si Sa Ket.

Groups of Thai academics, senators, the opposition Democrat Party, and the PAD have criticized the government of endorsing Cambodia's bid to list the temple as World Heritage Site, citing threats to Thailand's territorial sovereignty over overlapping areas near the temple yet to be demarcated between the two neighboring countries.

On Saturday, Viwat Akarabutr, a coordinator for the Patriotic E-San (Northeast) Network, said more than 20 activist groups would gather to rally at the entrance of the temple demanding the Thai authorities to evict Cambodians who have homes and shops near the temple but inside Thai territory, according to Thai News Agency.

Viwat said the activists would also ask the Thai police on developments regarding their complaints lodged earlier about the alleged encroachment by Cambodian nationals.

again, cambodia must use the 1962 icj verdict map, period. otherwise, there is no justice for khmer people anywhere. make sure to remind everyone to use and respect the icj verdict of 1962. let icj decide once and for all. that is why they existed, just for that purpose. if people continue to ignore the icj verdict, there is no justice for anybody, including cambodia. icj,icj, icj for a million times, people!!!

Just shut the f*ck up, Ah 1:29 AM. You are simply a piece of shit, you cheap stupid bastard. Your understanding of anything is simply darkness. First of all, the current King of Cambodia is not "gay" as you claim. This means you are just STUPID. Secondly, he is not an "infidel". He is a buddhist. So this makes you a stupid bastard. Thirdly, Cambodia might be a smaller part of the former Khmer Empire, but it is still the heartland of the Khmer people still rules by the Independent Khmer people. Khmer territory in Laos is gone and the Khmer there are just subjugated. Khmer territory in Vietnam is gone and the Khmer people there continue to be oppressed every day. Khmer territory in Thailand is also gone and the Khmer people are treated as a pathetic minority who are not even allowed to learn about the Khmer language, culture, or dignity. So just shut the f*ck up and stop arguing for ah Nan Chao Siem domination of the Khmer people, territory, and Ruins, you azzhole.

cambodia need to use the icj map at the time of this ruling. and make this map prevalent for all cambodia and the world to see, and stop being ignorant about it. educate cambodia and the world about the icj map used during their 1962 ruling, period. if failed to do so, there is no other way to settle this dispute accept by way of killing one another in war. i'm telling you. icj is the way to go for both cambodia and thailand, and let icj see to it the contempt of court thailand is showing cambodia and the entire world community. go icj all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are such a patriotic man. I am impressed. I am with you. You are absolutely correct about Cambodia is the heart of Khmer Empire.

That is very interesting and you nailed him on the head.

Cambodia is a great nation and continue to be.

We will one day becoming Khmer Empire again if such cases of Khmer in that place decide to stand up to claim that they are Khmer and want to learn and speak Khmer and want to rejoin the motherland. Like example those Khmer in Thailand are so afraid of Thai that can't even speak or learn how to read, write and speak Khmer. In the other hand those Khmer in Kampuchea Krom are much better than those in Thailand. I am one of them. We still practice our way of life, cultures, tradions, water festival, attend buddhist temple, and still can speak Khmer. Hope those in Thailand wake up soon.

I am Khmer Krom, regardless whose the Khmer is. I am proud to be Khmer. Only fake Khmer in Thailand never stick up for their Khmer.

Remember Khmer will win over this Preah Vihear Temple that petition to be enlisted in the UNESCO.

Go Khmer in Cambodian go!!!!

It is extremely sad and pathetic to see the Thai government and a great number of Thai people including their intellectuals argue for the joint administration of the Khmer Preah Vihear temple. This temple belongs to the Khmer race since its creation and will be so for eternity! The ICJ had also given its just verdict in 1962.

I do not know what to say, but feel completely appalled and disgusted by this greedy, aggressive and dishonest attempts on the part of Thailand to co-own the temple of Preah Vihear. They signed the agreements then turned around and changed their mind unscrupulously. They are indeed unreliable friends and neighbour to be watched out for.

Read a hitory book and one will know without any doubt that Preah Vihear was built by the Khmer people! If you built the temple in your own land, you are the owner, aren't you? Read further and one will find that the unfortunate people of Cambodia have lost and continue to lose their land to the greedy and dishonest neighbouring countries. A large part of Thailland used to be part of the Khmer Empire. The Thais even borrowed the Khmer language when they created their own.

The Thais will never stop to oppose the unilateral listing of Preah Vihear as a world heritage site and UNESCO may bend under the Thai pressures and succumb to their demands. Cambodia may never be able to list the temple even though she is the rightful owner of this beautiful and sacred temple.

So what is the solution then amid this unjustice in the unjust world where justice is talked about, but only respected sometimes?

Well, first of all, the Khmers need to be strongly unified from now on and be wholeheartedly ready to support the government in its fight to defend Preah Vihear. Never let themselves become tools of the neighbouring countries in order to get or hang on to powers. This is easier said than done looking back at the Khmer history. Unity begins with the people at the grassroot level and unity becomes more solid as education becomes more widespread.

Second, Cambodia can choose to ignore the desire to list the temple for now and depends on herself to raise the money for its maintenance and development. The temple is beautiful and located on a good and scenic top site of the mountain so its attraction for tourists should be natural. Cambodia can close the entrance on the Thai side completely for now. Raise the money from its citizens inside and outside the country for the construction of a new and modern road to Preah Vihear from inside Cambodian territory. The organization to raise and handle the fund may be contracted to internationally reputable fund-raising organization for now so that transparency can be guaranteed and assured to all donors. This way people will have more trust and confidence in giving out the money.

Develop the Preah Vihear temple area slowly as we can afford it and link it as a touristic destination with Angkor.

As decendents of the great Khmers of Angkorian era, the present Khmers can do it all on their own without any need for help from UNESCO. All they need is the spirit of unity, tolerance, perseverance and strong belief in themselves among themselves to guarantee success in the restoration, maintenance and development of Preah Vihear.

Cheyo Preah Vihear! The beautiful Khmer temple for eternity!

A concerned Khmer

As a Cambodian citizen, I pray that His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej call on his subjects to respect the world court decision on Preah Vihear in 1962 as he once did then. This would quell nationalists' sentiments on both sides to protect Thai-Khmer relations.

Oh yeah? Then tell us, what make the Khmer in Cambodia so knowledgeable about Khmer, and us (Khmer in Issan) so dumb about it, huh? Show me some fact, will you?

I am sure if you dig into it, you'll know that your idiot in Cambodia is a lot less Khmer than us in Issan province, moron.

Anonymous said...

because Ah Pleov like you, if you really are Khmer, does not understand and speak Khmer. You do not even dare stand and say I am proud to be Khmer. That's what makes the difference between us Khmer in Cambodia, KampucheaKrom, and other places.

If you are a Khmer, you would let this issue be resolved by the Khmer government and be proud that the Preah Vihear case is a victory for the Khmer people and nation. You claim to be Khmer Issan, but you're just a Thai imposter.

If you are Khmer, you would have some sense. But appears, you have been misled by the Siems to use you for their political and economic interest to win your Khmer heritage to the Robbers of Khmer culture for which you will still be a fool even if they successfully steal this from Cambodia. YOu will be a subjugated second class citizen who doesn't even understand his ancestor's language and have pride to be born under his ancestor's blood, the blood who once made Angkor.

That's what made you stupid, if you are a Khmer Issan. Truly if you are a Khmer person, you represent the worst shit that Khmer have to offer, eve I, a Khmer of Kampuchea Krom, am proud to see Cambodia, the heartland of a still Free Khmer, is protecting the Khmer interest for future Khmer generation.

If you want share of the Khmer heritage, you and your family and continue down to your children learn to speak Khmer, understand Khmer literature and history and proclaim your pride in your roots. You began to work and do business with Khmer to help your motherland. Because that is the duty of every smart patriotic Khmer, whether we in Kampuchea Krom or in USA!

Stupid imposter.

However, you are one disgusting piece of lowly shit who continues to argue for ah Nan Chao Siems domination over the Khmer temple. Unlike you, you sutpid mather f*cker. A Khmer like me speak, read, and write Khmer, practice Khmer culture and customs, and maintaining the Khmer heritage. What about you, ah pler??? You are nothing, but just a subjugated person whom ah Nan Chao Siems force to speak Ah Siem language, and behave and act like ah Siem for generation. That is why you are pathetically defending ah Siem interest. Just shut the f*ck up, ah pler. You can't even properly pronounce Khmer words or properly speak Khmer, you stupid jerk. Just go die, ah pler. In addition, there are only three province in the whole Issan region that speaks Khmer anyway. Gain your independence first, then we will let you manage the temple, ah pler. However, as long as you still a SLAVE to ah Nan Chao Siem invaders and landgrabbers, you are out of the discussion. You got that, ah pler. Ah kone mee truv krop kamplerng niss veuy.

Khmer Issan kept saying that Cambodians in Cambodia is FAKE KHMER.

Does he realize that he is the one who is FAKE KHMER? REASONS WHY HE IS FAKE:

1. Live in Khmer's enemy land
2. A minority in enemy land
3. Oppressed and a slave to Siam
4. Can't speak, read, and write Khmer
5. Does not fight for Khmer Freedom
6. Does not help fellow Khmer during the war with Vietnam
7. Does not help Khmer Refugees in Thai refugee camp
8. Selfish
9. Opportunist
10. Disloyal
11. Kill fellow Cambodians during the war with Thai and Vietnam

Khmer Issan is fake Cambodian!!!!


And most important of all, Thais think Khmer issan as Khom or Slave to them, inferior, and dumb. but it is fine because you Khmer Issan has security, food, and protection from Thai government as long as you are their slave to fight fellow Khmer.

Fellow Cambodian,

I am very proud of all of you coming in here posting your comments in support of our government to list our ancestor temple onto the UNESCO. I am 100% sure that we will succeed in this endeavor.

It is unfortunate that some of Khmers living on Thai’s border remain silent and not supporting motherland in this endeavor. This silent imply that they are not Khmer or the descendants of Khmer race, disloyal, and untrustworthy. For this reason, it is why so many Khmers in motherland do not care much about Khmers living in Thailand.

Khmers in Thailand are citizen of Thailand but are oppressed by not allowing them to speak their own language in Khmer in public and at school. For hundreds of years, Khmers in Thailand enjoy the freedom and safety. And totally forget the war in their motherland. For many years many of Khmers are being killed by Thais and Viet. And yet none of Khmers in Thailand come to support us by feeding us or give us safety. Rather than embraced us, Khmers of Thai citizen helps slaughtered us, embarrassed us in public, and turned us in to the Thai security and military. Many of us have died and will always remember this painful history.

Khmers of Thai citizen will someday remember that your disloyal will paid in blood, revenge, and retribution, “an eye for an eye”. I hope that this won’t happen because killing Khmers do not always benefits Khmer at all.

Khmers of Thai citizen, Kampuchea/Khmers Krom, and Khmers in motherland must be united in order for to be STRONG!!!

I urge all Khmers in Thailand to help us, not divide us!!!!

Dear 9:54PM I'm with you many thing but when you mentioned about Khmer Living in Thailand I am feeling that you have gone off map. I would like to inform you this: 1- You should know the Khmer Nation is only one period.(there is no Khmer Loeu, Khmer Krom, Khmer Kandal) 2- Khmer Loeu are not Siamese nor Thai, even they're living in Siamthailand(they're Khmer Mchass sroke). These Khmer do not wanted to move or displacement, offcourse they are all the landowners, (exclusively Ah Siamthais). 3- These Khmer are our brothers & Sisters they don't want Siamthai collonization any more, they wanted to be Khmer Nation in full face. They don't wanted to salut Siamese flag any longer if possible. 4- These Khmers want to reunited back with Khmer in Motherland(Cambodia)forever!. 5- They're opressed by Siamese GV'T for centurries, they can't help Cambodians while in trouble( they're willingly to help us when we're strong) 6- They have heartfeeling toward Khmer more than Ah Siamese thieves. 7- Politically Siamese GV'T relentlessely oppress them
especially on territorial issue. 8- These brothers & Sisters are domesstic birds (politcally).
overall they're khmer.

God bless khmer all

4:26, there are million and million of Khmer living throughout Thailand Laos, Burma, and Vietnam. I never heard of a single person who told me that they want to come back to Cambodia, except for business people. They all love their home and where they are at. Stop dreaming, and stop changing the subject. We are talking about a temple that belongs to Khmer in Issan province. We lost it to the French, but now you got it, and we want it back because it does not belong to you. It belongs to the people who live in Issan Province for generation after generation and who built it. And because no one in Cambodia built it, you should not try to keep it. That is immoral, 4:26.

Ah Pler 4:26. How can you even say that the Khmer Issan LOST the temple to the French, ah pler. The Khmer Issan people are the oppressed people, ah pler. Why don't you read up on one Khmer Surin who tries very hard to revive the Khmer language in this day and age. The French did not fight or negotiate with the Khmer Issan, but with Ah Nan Chao Siems instead. Ah Nan Chao Siems are the land thieves and invaders of the Khmer territory, ah pler. So instead of claiming more of Khmer territory and ruins, you should DECLARE your independence from Ah Nan Chao Siems and rejoin mother Cambodia so that you can enjoy the temple, ah pler. In addition, you keep saying this shitty idea that you Khmer Issan were the ones who built the temple, just shut the f*ck up, ah pler. It was the King of Angkor who commissioned the work, ah pler.

Yes, I am sure that they are force to speak Thai in school and salute the Thai national anthem. I know that they speak Khmer at home.
