Military: Thai soldiers seize Cambodian temple

PHNOM PENH, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian military said that more than 100 Thai soldiers have seized control of the Kingdom's Ta Krabey temple and are refusing to leave, despite the best efforts of some 50 Cambodian soldiers who remain at the site, local media reported Friday.

The Cambodian soldiers, who have controlled the small temple for years, tried to defend the site by shooting in the air but that the Thai soldiers still marched in, Ho Bunthy, deputy commander of Border Military Unit 402, was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying.

"They dared to enter because they know Cambodian soldiers got the orders not to use violence and shoot," Ho Bunthy said.

The Wednesday night incursion involved around 100 Thai soldiers who had previous tried to prevent Cambodian troops from accessing the temple by cutting down tress and using them to block the entry road, he said.

Ho Bunthy said that before the Thai soldiers entered the temple he ordered 50 Cambodian soldiers to stand in a "fence" formation to try to prevent them from entering but to no avail, adding that the Thais had been eyeing the temple for days.

Meanwhile, Chea Morn, commander of Military Region 4, said thatmilitary commanders on both sides are trying to solve the problem through negotiation.

"We are standing at the temple together now and we will negotiate with Thai military commanders later on," he was quoted as saying.

My beloved Khmers!

Soon or later Siam's soldiers and its people will be delightfully marched through Battambang Province, 'cause Hun SenVarman repeatedly allows not to shoot them. Now, we might fully understand the older Khmer folks saying, "Get in the water, the Croc., get up the land, the Tiger!"

Don't be worry!

Hun Sen sold Cambodian Lands to Vietnam and Thailand. Why do you believe Hun Sen keep Cambodian people safe from civilians to solders?. Now, look closely and deeply to Cambodian-Thailand border. Why Hun Sen orders not to shoot Thai-Invaders? because Hun Sen wants Khmer Soldiers and Cambodian Civilians die and these Thai soliders have more freedom to shoot and killed Khmer like animals. Does Hun Sen Care of Khmer died? Does Hun Sen dare bring these Issues to UN, and Human Right? it is NO NO NO. Hun Sen is worse than Pol Pot. Pol Pot time, Khmer killed Khmers. Now Hun Sen, he lets Neighboor countries kill Khmers.

Thanks for Read this message
Is it fair if you think deeply?

Khmer leaders like Hun Sen and Sihanouk are good in killing their own people. Come to deal with the foreigners; they're scare to shoot.

If other country has happened like this Thai incursion into Khmer territory, they will shoot and bomb the incursion first before talking. This is invading someone's territory and our leaders sit and do nonething about it. They're so stupid and let this happen again and again. No time for negotiation; why the stupid Khmer leaders try to negotiate with the invader? Go to UN to protest; then if UN doesn't do any shit. shoot them, moreon.

Here is his chance,

As soon as more and more Khmer soldiers and Cambodian people die, then Hun Sen have more chance to sell lands to these 2 countries, and as soon as the less Khmer people exist it is the easier these two countries invade Cambodia and split Cambodia apart.

If Cambodians were to march on the streets or occupy a government building, Hun Sen is very glad to order the police to beat them up and/or shoot to kill.

This is to show that Hun Sen can't do much in the face of mighty Thai army. Hun Sen used to say,"I'm the strongest man in Cambodia." BUT He is not a strong and smart man at all when he comes to deal with Foreigners. In fact he is a "CHICK" . It is a shame on him.

Like a kickboxer who wins all boxing tittles in his homeland but when he comes to contact with a kick boxer on the ring, he is knocked out at the first round.

Be prepare folks, there will be more of Thais incursions along the border. And hun sen will hide his face, claiming that he is trying to solve the problem peacefully.

The true nature of his routine behavior is clearly contradict to his claim. He for a long time and records have shown that he has been very prompted to use forces rather to sit down when someone whom he can beat. You can see so far that he keeps his mouth shut at all time not even to talk anything about this Thais incursion. Not even to mention about speak out to use force.

2:44AM,

A delusion mind like you that's why khmer still live in a stone age. It's 21st century for god sake. Today, most of the world leaders furnish his or herself with education, experience, and nationalism, which hard to come by for Khmer since Angkor era. Our motherland is in crisis, so stop posting myth and legend here because you wasting readers time.

Hello all Khmer and Thai,
Now the time is getting closer for Thai army becoming the loser by the UN court, Hun Sen seems to have enough with Thai. Thai was cheating him, Hun Sen is awake but its a little late, but batter than negotiation with the animal army.
So if Hun Sen keep his words Khmer will be the winner. Thai army is worst than dog poo when the UN court do their job.
Go to hell Thai, and get ready to fight each other in Bangkok.
Fresh news :Secret news, Thai police and Thai army from both side will start shooting each other soon or later next week.
