Khieu Kanharith: “No Berlin-style wall between Cambodia and Thailand, just a ‘concrete wall’”

During a press conference held in Phnom Penh on Monday 25 August, Khieu Kanharith, the minister of Information, wished to clarify the declarations he made the day before to the Cambodian and foreign media in which he said: “Cambodia indeed intends to build ‘border posts or a concrete wall’ along its common border with Thailand in ‘complicated zones,’ but not something akin to the ‘Berlin wall’.”

Khieu Kanharith also rejected an article published by the Thai English-language newspaper, the Bangkok Post, in which he allegedly announced the construction of an actual Berlin-style wall between the two neighboring countries. “The correct words are: border posts or a concrete wall,” Khieu Kanharith stressed while indicating that this would not take place only after the conclusion of the negotiations between Thailand and Cambodia on the delimitation of the common border in contested areas, including the one located next to the Preah Vihear temple.

“We are discussing this issue [with Thailand] since 2000,” Khieu Kanharith added, while underscoring that “these border posts or walls would be built in difficult areas where smugglers are using as their crossings or in areas auspicious for various crimes.”

In addition to the Berlin wall, there will be machine guns, rocket launchers, military bases, and day-night vision camera to monitor the Cambodian border 24 hours a day!

And don't forget to install the electrified wires along the outside walls. And the wall should be at least thirty five feet tall, it's called the tall wall with no balls, along the 800 Kilometer border with our sweet friend, the shameless greedy Siam.

KK you & your dingbat boss are a bunch of hypocrite:
Does it make sense to build a fence
while you and your vulgar boss still jump on the plane to go shopping and playing golf in Thailand?
Who do you think you're are fooling you dim wit morons?
I suggest add an anti-aircraft battery for the troops so they can give you and your boss a 21-gun-salute on your way back from the Thai golf tournament!!!!!!!!!

The fence is built to keep the wild dogs out. The Khmer bosses can fly to play anywhere they please. The issue here is to keep the invasive wild dogs out for now. So fed up with these unconscientious animals in human forms. We Khmers for now are seeking peaceful living among neighbors. But historically, it has been proven to be an impossible dream. Living in the wilderness among wild animals no human civilization is up held and recognized. It's all about strength for the moment. That time will come... inevitable. It's all recorded in our memory.

My friend:
The new wall will be the equivalent of a big billboard saying " Please keep out do not scare us, we are a bunch of goat"
It's a no-brainer it will make us a laughing stock.

It is so fucken unfair for the ASEAN and the United Nations not play traditional role of peace maker while keep pushing Cambodia a weak nation to deal with Thailand that has no regard for international law!

Don't blame Cambodia for future war or an act of terrorism because Cambodia has act in line with international law and order!

They don't have to push for anything the Thai will move their ass to solve this issue very quickly. Don't worry.

The Thai will think that this will be over, but it's not.

The Thai are like the republic of Georgia, they started something that they cannot finish. What they see is just the tips of the iceberg. Their leader sees it but the people are way to dumb to realize. It's too late it is at your door step already.

Yeah, I totally agree. Let's make wall all along the Cambo-Thai boundary line so our Cambodians cannot escape to Thai's land as refugees again if Yuon invade us.

You seems to forget the siem beggars in your country, as far as I know they are more numerous than Khmer beggars.

The people of Sisaket without Preah Vihear would die with their mouth open.

Yea baby.

PS: I read that the Bankok post wrote that there are no more trouble in the south of Thailand. That's good news!!! LOL.

Yuon refugees
Yuon boat people

I live in the US and we have beggars here, but no such thing a Thai beggars. That's amazing.

I went to visit Thailand and I saw it with my own eyes Thai beggars, prostitutes, gays etc.

You must be right they not Thai.

You shouldn't include Youn because one of the vietcong on this blog is also convince that there is no such thing as poor dirt Youn.

thanks for the clarification, although it would be such a bad idea to have the berlin-style wall erected in certain "complicated border area" given what the thailand is doing to cambodia.
