Foreign Minister Departs for Temple Talks

Original reports from Phnom Penh

Cambodian Foreign Minsiter Hor Namhong said Monday he was "optimistic" the conflict over Preah Vihear temple would be solved in his talks with his Thai counterpart, Tej Bunnag, this week.

"My goal is to do whatever we can to withdraw all the troops from the Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda," he told reporters before departing for Thailand Monday. He would also seek further meetings on border demarcation, he said.

Thai and Cambodian troops executed a partial withdrawal from the pagoda over the weekend, following a steady build-up since July 15. Police on Sunday prevented a demonstration over the crisis by the Cambodian Confederation of Unions.

After the meeting Monday, Hor Namhong plans to visit Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, to brief him on developments along the Thai-Cambodian border, he said.

"This is a simple problem, about border territory, around the world, so Cambodia and Thailand are committed to a peaceful solution by law," he said.

DEAR COMPATRIOTS,
AS I HAD GUESSED, HUN XEN HAS WAITED THE END OF THE ELECTION THAT HE WAS SURE HE WOULD WIN, TO RESTART THE NEGOCIATION WITH SAMAK
THOUGH THE FUTURE NEGOCIATION IS BOUND TO FAIL IF KHMER GOVERNMENT DON' T MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS TO SIAM.
DEAR COMPATRIOTS, HUN XEN WILL SAY THAT THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT WITH SIAM WOULD BRING US MORE PPROSPERITY, MORE JOB, MORE INVESTMENT,MORE LAND THAN BEFORE. (HE HAD CLAIMED THE SAME THING ABOUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY WITH YUON IN 2006).
BUT HUN XEN DON’T DARE TO SAY THAT THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT WITH THAI WILL BRING HUN XEN AND HIS FAMILY MORE , MORE MONEY, THAI BUSINESS , MORE THAI PROSPERITY MORE THAI PEOPLE IN OUR 4.6 SQUARE KILOMETRES SURROUNDING AREAS PREAH VIHEAR KHMER TEMPLE AND SOON PREAH VIHEAR KHMER TEMPLE WILL HAVE MORE THAI THAN KHME. AS HISTORY REPEATS, OUR PREAH VIHEAR KHMER TEMPLE WILL BE KAMPUCHEA KROM FATE.
THE PATRIOTS WHO WILL DARE TO PROTEST THE NEXT JOINT DEVELOPMENT MUST EXPECT TO BE IN PREY SAR PRISONAGAIN.
HE HAS ALREADY SOLD OUR LAND TO SIAM TO EXPLOIT OUR TEMPLE WITH THAKSIN AND SAMAK FOR HIS OWN BUSINESS INTEREST and let us starve to death..
HIS FIRST BETRAYAL WAS ON 11th NOVEMBER 2006
IN SIGNING THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY, HE HAD PAID TRIBUTE TO HIS YUON MASTER, OUR LAND, OUR ISLE KOH TRAL, OUR SEA..!
THIS MAN IS A TRAITOR TO OUR NATION! WE WILL BE SOON CHAM AND KAMPUCHEA KROM!

PAD fooling the people
The line was drawn by the French in 1904, the International Court of Justice ruled on it in 1962,
“and the new line agreed by the Thai and Cambodian government actually brings more land into Thailand than the old map If the Cambodian government is happy to concede some land to the Thais while retaining the temple that is, and has always been, on Cambodian, soil, then it is a win for the Thai governmen
I cannot believe the lunatics at the PAD have actually got the Thai people and the Puea Pandin party fooled over the Preah Vihear temple.

Dear compatriots,
BRAINLESS RAVEN HUN XEN HAS FALLEN INTO THE FOX SIAM TRAP.
HE STARTS TO RENEGOCIATE WITH SAMAK.
WE MUST KNOW WHEN HUN XEN NEGOCIATES , HE ALWAYS NEGOCIATES FOR HIS OWN INTEREST BUSINESS, NEVER FOR OUR COUNTRY.
MORE HE NEGOCIATES, MORE WE LOSE OUR LAND.
KHMER PEOPLE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE COUNTRY MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT THAT ANY NEW LINE DRAWING OF THE MAP BY ANY NEW GOVERNMENT WON'T BE ACCEPTABLE AND WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A TREASON TO KHMER PEOPLE AND THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE FORCED TO STEP DOWN.
STAND UP TOGETHER TO INVADER SIAM and YUON!
