Thailand will not allow the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to play a role in resolving the border row with Cambodia, a government source said yesterday.

The source said the Thai intention was to settle the problem over the disputed area near the Preah Vihear temple through bilateral negotiations rather than getting the regional grouping involved in the issue.

The border conflict between the two countries has raised concerns among Asean foreign ministers, who began their annual talks in Singapore yesterday.

"The situation has escalated dangerously, with troops from both sides facing off on disputed territory near the Preah Vihear temple," Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a speech opening the Asean meeting. "Asean could not stand idly by without damaging its credibility."

Singapore, which chairs the meeting, on Sunday night issued a statement urging Thailand and Cambodia to exercise the utmost restraint and resolve the issue amicably.

Asean was also ready to help resolve the problem, the statement said.

Thailand and Cambodia informed the informal meeting of foreign ministers on Sunday night about the situation in the area immediately adjacent to the temple.

Deputy Prime Minister Sahas Bunditkul led the Thai delegation to Singapore.

After the poll on Sunday, the PM of Cambodia will declare victory, and then will make his anouncement of joint development with the Thai company. This is a win-win situation for the Cambodian PM and the former and sitting Thai PMs. The ordinary people of Thailand and Cambodia will be a big losers.

How to settle Preah Vihear Dispute ?
No Problem with Preah Vihear issue-- we will win-win
Because-
1. We have much more Army Generals than Thailand has( we have a lot of Generals from 1 stars to 4 Top Gold stars
2. We have more Excellencies than Thailand has
3. We have more Samdachs, Oknha, Bandits (Phd.), Prime ministers (in 1995), Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Deputy Prime Ministers, provincial Governors.... that Thailand has/ or than other counties world wide...
4. We have a lot of Military equipment such as Military trucks which are used to Transport illegal Loggings and Military Vehicles used countrywide to anywhere such as to restaurants and Bars...... We have a lot of Guns/pistols which are used every day in the cities and county sides to fire on people in ladies affairs disputes.
5. We have much more Luxury Cars-Lexus Landcruisers with Army & Police Plate Numbers that represent Our Top Generals and Excellency countrywide.....

6. The best way to settle such a problem is to send some hundreds of Cambodian Generals to the Disputed Borders.....Thais will be afraid of our numerous Multi-Generals which increase from day to day.

7. Send the so-called Development Army (the main Army troop playing Roles in Land dispute in Kampong Speu to Preah Vihear... they have experiences in illegally Occupying people's Land ... now let them to occupy our Preah Vihear.

8. But is the National Embarrassment that our Army (Royal Cambodian Armed Forces) have used a lot of forces to fight with Local unarmed-Cambodians in Land grabbling... so our Armed forces (Army, Police Economy Police, and military Police-PM) may be too weakened now...

9. It is a National Embarrassment that most of our Generals just attack in the Cities and with Local Cambodians in Land disputes, small Disputes in Night Clubs, Traffic Accidents, Karaoke and any unnecessary Fire shots.

Note: when I saw the Cambodians army in Dispute with Thai Army ..It reminds me about the Royal Cambodian Army disputing with Unarmed People in Land Disputes in Cambodia; They can protect their land But for Preah Vihear how will it be going on....?
"Thai uses the same Trick as Cambodia uses in Land dispute with Local Khmer People-- as of when the empowered men deploy army to illegally occupy people's land... ".

We khmer should stop the war and care our people who live in the country now. Thai mount doesn't help our children to have better life. It's just benefit for some people. Our country is big already. We don't really need that thai's land. It's shame of us to start sending troops and increasing weapons. We are making our country in difficulties.

7;14PM. Don't let your emotions lead you. Do you believe in human fate? Bhumibol from a commonner family named Chakri. His friend named Thaksin. The two were told by Chinese astrologer that they'd be Kings. Thaksin became King then he went on crazy, Chakri became King.
Hun Sen whatever you may see of him, his star is a lucky star, he is in power for nearly 30 years. He has no formal education but he is cleaver than you think.

If you are Buddhist, then pray but don't laugh at people, it will happen to you next. If not happen by war but may be by natural disaster such as earhtquake, Tsunami, flood.
