[UN] Secretary-General appeals for calm between Cambodia and Thailand

UN News Centre

21 July 2008 – Expressing concern over the recent escalation of tensions between Cambodia and Thailand, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called on both sides to peacefully resolve the situation.

There is a build-up of military forces near the Preah Vihear Temple in Cambodia, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) earlier this month.

The Secretary-General calls for restraint on both sides and hopes that this matter can be resolved peacefully and by diplomatic means in the context of the excellent relations that traditional exist between the two countries,” according to a statement issued by Mr. Ban’s spokesperson.

The temple, which dates back to the 11th century, and was recognized by the World Heritage Committee for “its natural situation on a promontory, with sheer cliffs overlooking a vast plain and mountain range; the quality of its architecture adapted to the natural environment and religious function of the temple; and, finally, the exceptional quality of the carved stone ornamentation of the temple.”

Cambodia must pursue third party involvement to kill Thaicong blind ambition!

And what will you give the third party in exchange for their help?

Blood for oil! And beside that Cambodia has economic potential to rival that of the Thaicong economic! China already has over 1 billion of economic investment in Cambodia not including Malaysia, Vietnam, and South Korea...

Cambodia has everything the third party want and in fact the third party is already in Cambodia!

The Thaicong will be sorry if they choose not to move their troop from Cambodia!

How about the overlaping area will be shared and co-managed by both Mr.TI TUY and our beloved Cambodia? AND THE GREAT PREAH VIHEAR WILL ALWAYS BELONG TO KHMER? Anyone agree with this plan? AND Anyone wish to build ANY property or hotel or park or anything on it, will pay tax and tax will be collected and devided to benifit both sides? Let's us develop, let's us build and let's share. Otherwise, it will take a miilion lives from both sides and we aren't even going to be sure, who will win. Let's face the hard fact that is sure going to take EITHER you OR I down. oNE OF US WILL GO. Want that to happen? and Mr. Ti Tuy don't even think that you are going to win over us that easily. Your blood is as red as others and Khmers are no different than you! You will know the day you mess with us blindly. pLEASE DON'T EVEN TRY TO GET THERE. SPEND YOUR TIME DOING SOMETHING ELSE JUST LIKE YOUR KING ALWAYS SAY, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF YOUR FAMILY, YOUR COMMUNITY AND YOUR NATION! IS FIGHTING GOOD FOR ANY OF THOSE CATERGORIES? IF YOU SAY YES, YOU'RE DUMB! DUMB DUMB DUMB TI TUY (THAI )!

Dear Mr. Ban, I wonder if you ever tolerate the act of encroachment or burglary in your house. I am not saying that we start the WAR, BUT CAN'T THEY WITHDRAW THEIR TROOP OUT OF THE KHMER TERRITORY? THEY ARE READY TO FIGHT (AH THAI LOP) AND THEY ARE AS GREEDY AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. AH THAI JUST BOUGHT TIME AND LEGALIZE THEIR MILITARY ACTIONS. SOON THEY WILL CLAIM THAT THE PAGODA IS THE NO-MAN ZONE AND CAMBODIA WILL LOSE ANOTHER PIECE OF LAND-BIT BY BIT.

AND YOU MR. BAN CALLED FOR SITUATION RESTRAINT WHILE AH THAI DOGS ON MY SOIL? WILL YOU DO THAT YOURSELF IN YOUR COUNTRY OR AT YOUR HOUSE MR. BAN?

I HOPE I CAN HAVE YOUR ANSWER SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

HIGH REGARDS,

PRIMIER

China-jungle monkey (Siam) just drew a new comic-map. This map only the Ape King Bhumibol Adulyadej acknowledge...

Restraint, restraint, amicable, amicable……that's all they can tell us while the aggressor is reinforcing and standing firm on our soil. It's a standard language from the UN head while the Cambodia is being intruded by a member of the UN, ie the Thais. How long do we have to wait for the solution? It's a simple thing to do Mr. Ban, just ask the Thais to withdraw from Cambodia that's all. Stop the diplomatic language sh.t it achieves nothing, but encourage future aggression by UN members to other member states.

Thai's map is 100% valid here as oppose to French's map.

Come on UN take some concrete action.

The Thai invade our territory and we have to talk gently to them.

This doesn't make sense.

We're kinda really tire about the Siam, added to that the big talk from the Siam government who is trying to turn the table around.

All this doesn't help at all.

Well, if you tire of Siam, just get your ass out of their country.
