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.

"ASEAN was "uncomfortable" that Cambodia last week approached the U.N. Security Council on the matter"
= What the fuck with ASEAN and why are they so anal? The fucken reason the ASEAN felt "uncomfortable" about Cambodia asked the United Nations for help because the ASEAN leaders can't do shit anyway! These fucken ASEAN leaders are made up of a bunch of dictators who will not intervene in each other business even for violating basic human right!
It is so sad that the ASEAN still prey upon each other for survival and in nature it is called cannibalism! The fucken ASEAN is practicing cannibalism and they don't even know it and that how stupid the ASEAN leaders are!
A Thaicong deputy Prime Minister Sahas Bunditkul said "If A and B have a conflict, they probably want to resolve by themselves. A and B have to talk and it will take time to resolve the problem."
= I believe AH Sahas Bunditkul doesn't even understand what the hell is talking about! What AH Sahas Bunditkul fail to understand is that Thaicong think they are bigger with 61 million people and have more military advantage over smaller Cambodia! So the Thaicong continue to press Cambodian leaders into negotiation and to accept all Thaicong terms and conditions to resolve the border conflict! The Thaicong never want Cambodian leaders to turn to any third party to find the solution because the Thaicong leaders want to dictate and force their solution on Cambodian leaders! This is the most injustice the Thaicong leaders can do to Cambodian people and Cambodian leaders!
The Thaicong leaders need to understand that this is not the first time that Cambodian has war and conflict! Even though Cambodia doesn't even have weapons factories but yet Cambodia still manages to kill and disable million and million of people! The fact that the war, the destruction, and the killing were possible because of the third party!
So the new equation now is!
A + B = Third party!
Cambodia will have no choice except to pursue third party involvement in any war against the Thaicong aggressor! The free flow weapons from the third party is inevitable and the war against the Thaicong aggressor will be fought with the use of million and million of landmines and the guerilla tactic will guarantee to bleed the Thaicong aggressor many more years to come! Cambodia must bring in the third party involvement to mitigate the Thaicong-Cambodian conflict because Cambodia has done it in the past which led to successful withdrawal of the Vietcong troop from Cambodia!
If the Thaicong-Cambodian conflict can't be solved by the ASEAN then the ASEAN and Cambodia need to go their separate way! Cambodia will not be blame for the Thaicong aggression which lead to instability of the whole Southeast Asia! Let the killing begin!
Whether the Thaicong like it or not! The third party involvement is inevitable in the Thaicong-Cambodian conflict! The Thaicong will be sorry if they don't withdraw their troop from Cambodia!
If the ASEAN can't stop Thaicong aggression on Cambodia and the third party can do just fine and with the free flow of endless weapons to Cambodia and the Cambodian army will make the Thaicong withdraw their troop from Cambodia even if it is going to take another 10 years to do it!
The Thaicong will pay for their sin!

Man! you are pisstt... i like that you got me going. Bravo!
But then you throw alot of f... words.
ASEAN is rightfully concern if the matter going to UN before it has a chance to mediate the crisis among their member countries. They do not want to be seen that they are ineffective in resolving their own affairs. However, Thailand has difference agenda. ASEAN involvement is the last resort for it. Though it said it doesn't want ASEAN involvement, cunning Thai has already engaged in lobbying the ASEAN member countries about the disputed territory by forwarding the documents, map of their own together with Hun Sen complained letter to Samak. Mean while, Thai wants to use "carrot & stick" tactic to convince the RGC to leave the 4.6 Km territory Thai. Thailand will delay the negotiation (there will be no fighting) until the Cambodian General Election is over, as Thai anticipates that Hun Sen will win the election and does not want to pressure Hun Sen on this hot issue.
So it is up to RGC (Hun Sen) to stand firm, go to UN (do not rely too much on ASEAN) if necessarily, for Cambodia has all legal rights to claim this disputed land. Also we as Khmer People has to keep a vigilant eyes over RGC overthis matter.
ASEAN is useless as always.....but Cambodia should give it time to prove itself and not too much time. This Thais aggression shouldn't happen, it's a direct look down on the Cambodian nation and a humiliation. If the Hun Sen government blinks on this issue it's the end of the Khmer sovereignty.....the Thai will do it again and again.....the UN and the ICJ is the right channel to solve this. ASEAN is about to discredit itself if it cannot solve this issue
Thank you Singapore, but please don't violate ASEAN rule of non-interference.
Mr. Aseans, let's put it simple like this: you called somebody a thief or a burglar when they steal a fucking thing or enter your house without your fucking permission, right? Admit to it, right? You don't play game: Big bullies can eat or threaten the weak right? Though Camboida is ruled by the so-called patriot leek-like blood suckers, but you Asean leaders can't just let the war happen that can kill the innocent Cambodians people!!! You all can't just sit idly watching cambodians people die because of a nation's greed!!!! Otherwise you will be CURSED AND SCOLDED BY YOUR OWN POEPLE AND THE WORLD BECAUSE YOUR SO-CALLED ASEAN IS JUST A TOY AND VOICELESS AND USELESS BODY TO THE EYES OF YOUR LOCAL PEOPLE AND THE WORLD.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? NOW JUST SAY WHO ARE THE WRONG DOERS? WHO SHOULD WITHDRAW THEIR TROOPS? WHO SHOULD ACT CONCIOUSLY AND LAWFULLY FOR THE MATTER?
SIMPLE RIGHT???????
What a secret between Both Parties ??
Why they do not intent to have Third Party involved ??
Be carefull...

I do think that ASEAN is not active enough to protect, conserve, and support to Asian Countries yet. Unlike Urepean that is well structured, managed, and advanced its nations. ASEAN is created for WHAT? T have annual Meeting, talking, consulting, and acting nothing? What Cambodia benefits from ASEAN these days? Does ASEAN work for richer, well-equiped military countries, or only for highly economic development like Singapore?
The suggustion is ASEAN should amend its rule and regulations to strenten and support small countries to become developed countries by modelling from wetheren world.
I strongly hope that my comments will be considered by ASEAN leaders. Thank you!
Obviously the siam government doesn't want to solve the issue.
Cambodia agree to meet the siam again at the ASEAN, but they don't want to.
Cambodia should call for the UN assistance.
If the UN is not eager to give justice to Cambodia.
Well we have to take care of this ourselves.
Don't say we didn't try to solve the issue, but apparently Mr. Samak and his friends has a hidden agenda.
If you want to talk to the Thai, you have to get your monkey's ass out of Issan Province first because they don't talk to hijackers.
how about cambodia government..? now you saw a siam (thai) character want cambodia land. theft still theft cannot change so shouldn't have any agreement, pledge negotiation about land dispute with them anymore. the world have law... we have enough evidence to show and settle with UN and international of Justice... don't afraid of theft thai loss face.
Franco treaty without the French is no evidence, fool. You got anything else?
Yes!,We have more evidence,Back to you fool;Ask your parents and Every Ancient temple written in Khmer language.
Also Khmer peolpe that live in that region.I don't understand Preah Vihear been there for long Century why don't you care try to restore the temple,Now we are Khmer put our ruin ancient temple( Preah Vihear)for the World Hertage.IF you not agree with this Verdict international Court.Your Government need to go to international Court solve this matter.Good luck...May God heal your brain tumor.
