Touch Yuthea
The Mekong Times
The National Culture and Social Morality Center (NCSC) on Thursday cancelled a planned protest in front of Phnom Penh’s Thai Embassy. Security was stepped up at the embassy the same day, with military policemen and a fire truck standing at the ready.
“I would like to apologize to Cambodian compatriots, especially supporters who want to march to urge the Thai government and its left-wing opposition party to respect the International Court of Justice’s 1962 ruling that Preah Vihear belonged to Cambodia,” NCSC President Po Samnang wrote in an open statement. “I pray the Cambodian government will win victory in registration of the temple as a World Heritage Site. The government’s decision to get the temple protected is right.”
Despite a planned NCSC protest with 3,000 to 5,000 demonstrators, police were outnumbered by reporters and photographers Thursday.
Municipal Police Chief Touch Naroth said police have been deployed to guard the Thai Embassy “to avoid demonstrations carried by a handful of people [in 2003] against the embassy and [which could] cost Cambodia millions of US dollars.”
The Thai embassy was burnt down in 2003 during anti-Thai riots that followed false rumors a Thai actress had claimed Angkor Wat temple was Thai. Cambodia has vowed that such violence will not be repeated.
Police officials accompanied by a fire truck will now protect the embassy around the clock, Touch Naroth said, as well as protecting Thai residents.
A Thai embassy staff member claimed to be unaware of upgraded security Thursday, noting that external security is the responsibility of the Cambodian authorities. The Thai Embassy has yet to issue any formal advice to Thai nationals in Cambodia.
Although AFP reported “riot police” had been stationed outside the embassy Thursday, the police on guard appeared to be Interior Ministry and military police with standard equipment.
The Cambodian government would not tolerate “anti-government elements,” Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said Thursday, according to DPA.
“These are anti-government groups, so we will treat it as a domestic matter. Thailand tries to help Cambodia so we should not confuse this issue,” Kanharith said.
“We should stay calm, because whatever happens, it is not in dispute that Preah Vihear temple belongs to Cambodia,” he said, adding that Hun Sen had spoken to his Thai counterpart Samak Sundaravej about the issue, and relations between the governments were very cordial.
Khieu Kanharith blamed the political opposition for trying to inflame the issue.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An is currently in Canada arguing for the temple to be World Heritage listed – something some Thai senators have objected to, saying it should be jointly managed.

Boycott the bastard Thai -- the bastard Vietnamese benefits.
Also, we must ensure that the Vietnamese does not launch a preemptive strike to precipitate a conflagration thus allow them to capitalize during a time of conflict.
The temple belongs to Khmer people in Cambodia, not French, Malay, ..., or Korean in Cambodia who pretend to be Khmer.
Correction: The temple belongs to Khmer people in Issan Province, Thailand, not French, Malay, ..., or Korean in Cambodia who pretend to be Khmer.

"In a nutshell, the Preah Vihear Temple once belonged to Siam from the reign of the Ayutthaya King Chao Sam Phraya onwards because of the Siamese victory over the Khmer Kingdom. But Bangkok’s King Rama V returned it to France who colonized Lao and Cambodia. If there ever was a loss of Siamese territory, the land was lost since 1907, as the ICJ made its ruling in line with the Franco-Siamese Treaty." -- http://www.prachatai.com/english/news.php?id=690
There you go, nothing said that the temple was returned to Cambodia. It clearly stated France, and France is no longer here, thus it must be returned to Khmer people in Issan.
The Japanese did it when they left. So there is no reason why it can't be done here.
3;00am are you kidding yourself ah lob are you NUT? You wanted Cambodian to read your site?
You born retarded or you might infected with HIV or Aids because your country is the first resource of that contagious disease so why ?The reason you gave us that is stupid comment ,you must be a liar you son of the bitch low live thief, in your thieves people said whatever you wanted sometimes you have claimed Ankor Wat belong to your criminal bad blood Thai too but I tell you direct ,since the international court it won’t fool and think fool like your criminal bad blood born Thai ,they returned the Preah Vihear to khmer in 1962 but you and your people have never intend Cambodia living in the peaceful way so you just try to make up the bullshit story to fool your people not us so please draw the line between the reality and fake story to create the matter in that region, I am telling you khmer this day is not weak and easy to pick on like before, so let try and go ahead try it.
