Dear readers,
I just received a letter to the Phnom Penh Post from Mr. Chan Veasna concerning about the use of maps for border settlements between Cambodia and Thailand. I think it is worth reading, so I decided to published it in this blog.Khmerization

Letter to the editor
Phnom Penh Post
6th December, 2008

Dear Sir,
Nobert Klein’s letter (Cambodia must use its own maps too, 25 Nov.) has totally missed the points of my previous letter (Thailand must use Cambodian maps, 14 Nov.). While Mr. Klein might be correct in his views, his letter certainly has confused your readers of the points I was trying to make in my letter.
While I was talking about the maps of the 1904-1907 Khmer-Thai Border Treaty, Mr Klein was talking about the maps of the 2008 Joint Communique or the agreement to list the Preah Vihear temple. There is no comparison between these two agreements because one is a border treaty and the other is an agreement to list the temple on the world heritage list.
While Mr. Klein was correct to spell out the details of the 2008 Joint Communique, he is incorrect in drawing its connections to the issue of the border demarcations between Thailand and Cambodia. The distinction between these two agreements must be made:
1) The maps of the 2008 Joint Communique are for the purpose of inscribing the Preah Vihear temple on the world heritage list, not for the purpose of border demarcations as has been the point of my letter.
2) The maps attached to the 2008 Joint Communique will only supersede other maps concerning the zonage/zoning of the Preah Vihear temple boundary, not superseding the maps concerning the demarcations of territorial borders between Thailand and Cambodia.
The 2008 Joint Communique, of which Mr. Klein was talking about, spelled out that the border demarcations will only be carried out pending the results of the Joint Commission for Land Boundary which in turn, according to previous agreements, will use the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2000 which both Thailand and Cambodia recognised to use the 1904-1907 Treaty as a base for their border resolution.
The 2008 Joint Communique stated that “the inscription of the Preah Vihear temple on the World Heritage List shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Kingdom of Thailand on the demarcations work of the Joint Commission of Land Boundary of the two countries.”
With the provisions in the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding, signed between Cambodia and Thailand, recognising the 1904-1907 Treaty, there is no doubt that the maps of the 1904-1907 treaty must be used by the Joint Commission of Land Boundary for the border settlements, not the Preah Vihear zoning maps that Mr Klein was talking about.
Yours sincerely,

The maps from 1907 treaty are the legal maps and both Thailand and Cambodia should these maps for negotiations, not the maps drawn by Thailand.
I can't believe what I read. Cambodia history spans over 1000 years, and Ah Pleu (Chan Veasna) what to use map for a 3 years period. Shut the fuck up, motherfucker! The temple belongs to Khmer on the mountain. You got that?
What people can't read the PPP online? It must be published here? Pathetic.
Too much influence from Ah Sbek Sor. That's why Khmers hate Khmers. Because Ah Sbek Sor is playing a game of human cock-fighting with the Khmer people.
No map is needed here. The entire mountain belongs to Khmer in Thailand, period.
Are you about that 2:54am ?
8:58am is a Khmer traitor who pretended to be Thai. I think he is too ashamed to be Khmer. Shame on him and his ancestors. He doesn't know what he is talking about. The 1907 maps cover more than 1000 years period. They were maps from the 1907 treaty signed between Thailand and Cambodia. they were maps that marked the Khmer-Thai borders since the beginning till 1907 and up until today. This guy @8:58am is the same guy who has been attacking everyone in this forum who said anything against Hun Sen and the CPP. He is really a traitor, a dog serving foreign interests, the Viet and the Thai in particular. Shame on you traitor!
8:58AM did not understand English and missed Chan Veasna's points completely before making such a stupid comment. He should go back to Khmeng Wat School and stay there.
Nobert Klein also missed Chan Veasna's points, but at least he missed them in a civilised manner - white skin or not. Clarification is always needed in any healthy debates.

Ai bah hmaa lai khwai,
Khmer land will always be Khmer land...the whole mountain belongs to the Khmers of Cambodia, if you have a problem with it, go tell the judge in the Hague...all the Thai 'katoey' or 'lady boiz' should move from the border areas to Bang-Cock and take care of your dying king Feelmyballs and fat queen Sirikat.
Thai people don't belong here...go post your stupid comments on the Bang-Cock Post!
Listen up greedy fool, the temple doesn't belong to any country but the local.
For instant, Khmer temple in Long Beach belong to Khmer in Long Beach, not Khmer in Washington, ..., or Oregon.
Same thing here, the temple on the mountain belong to Khmer on the mountain, not Khmer in Cambodia, France, Japan, ..., or China. Get the picture?
9:21PM you are sick! No other word can be use to call you but only say YOU ARE A SICK cambodian.
You just a Khmer but pretending to be on Siam ,SICK.
9:21 pm, you are the only one person who alway against any Khmer in this forum, but you are a Khmer man, your opinion is just give our temples and the land or mountain to the Khmer who living there? This mean you give the temples, land from us Khmer to Siam legely right? Think again you sick person.
I think you needs to see Dr.
thank you for making your point loud and clear, mr. chan veasna. i know, it was biased on the part of mr. klein, and like most writers and publishers who has any kind of long time connection to thailand, tend to be biased toward anything cambodia. thus, it's good to point this out. i guess, these individuals must have something against cambodia or something because, they seemed very biased toward and anything that comes out of cambodia. go figure! please, continue to educate them all as they seemed to know nothing or very little what cambodia, in the first place. what goes around comes around, only time will tell. god bless cambodia and all our beautiful khmer people and citizens.
ah fuckin siam pretender above,
khmer on the mountain are khmer who are occupying the temples and surrounding areas right now, get it ? if you let me fuck your mother and post on utube.
