Tea Banh: Thaksin is not in Cambodia

Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Banh talked to defence reporter Wassana Nanuam at the 6th meeting of the General Border Committee, denying rumours that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had sneaked into Cambodia after fleeing into self-imposed exile overseas.

Is it true that the Cambodian government issued a passport to Mr Thaksin?

No. that's not true. I have never heard that.

What about reports that Mr Thaksin flew in his private jet to both Phnom Penh and Koh Kong?

I have never seen Thaksin come here to Cambodia. Why should he have to come here? What's the use of coming here?

We cannot do anything to help him now. He might want to go somewhere else, but not Cambodia.

Thai intelligence agencies had reports that Mr Thaksin flew to Phnom Penh and stayed at the residence of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

No. They were rumours. How could that have happened? Mr Hun Sen himself was unhappy with this. They were purely rumours. We don't want to meddle in Thai politics. We want to see Thai people love each other and live in harmony and then we will be able to work together to solve the existing [border] disputes.

What do you think about these rumours?

I don't think spreading such rumours is constructive. They could cause mistrust and strain relations between the two countries. We want to forge better ties and work together to develop the economy.

Political problems in Thailand have also stalled joint efforts to settle the border disputes.

What is the relationship between Mr Thaksin and the Cambodian leader?
They were just acquaintances. Cambodia does not want to meddle in Thailand's internal affairs.
Could Cambodia help monitor the movements of Mr Thaksin?

I can confirm that Thaksin has never been to Cambodia [since he fled into self-imposed exile]. If he was here, I would have to be aware of that.

TB don't have to answer anything to the Thai. Just say he don't know anything period.

Is this meeting about border issue or about Thaksin?

You damn HUN SEN!
Like I've said before, you have been harbored this fugitive until we found out you sent him abroad.

You better send him to Thailand soon.
When you have something in Cambodia and Sam Rainsy runs to us we will not let you have Sam Rainsy. Sam Rainsy is my friend.

I will let take refuge in Thailand and issue him Thai's passport also.

Abhisit Thai PM,

Immediate plan to arrest Thaksin is planned by Thai government. Bangkok is giving an ultimatum to HUN SEN 72hrs. If HUN SEN is not arresting Thaksin we will declare war on Cambodia.

Give us Thaksin or you will face the consequences.

Thailand is prepare to launch an attack on Phnom Penh. We will come in to rescue Phnom Penh. Once we liberate Phnom Penh we suggest you to change Phnom Pehn to Khao Penh.

We don't want to see Khmer under Hanoi's rule. We will help the Khmer insurgency groups on the border to advance to Phnom Penh.

Any foreign intervention toward Thailand's sovereighty will need to be dealt with.

I encourage Thai to come to Thanksin and shut Hun Xen down altogether.

Thailand: please come into my country and take your Thaksin and see if Hun Xen can do anything about it.

Mr.Thaksin may be any where, not necessary in Cambodia if he deos, it mean Siamese politic is achieve one step further. Ladies and gentlemen, this is how Siam wanted, they buit up the military hardware so long just await for this moment what they beleive, it's a right time for invasion Cambodia by accusing Mr. Hun Sen hiding fugitve(Mr Thaksin) in Cambodia Kingdome. The reality is not about Mr. Thaksin but about invasion and control Cambodia this is Siamese future ambition, Siamese is convey and hiding their reality from the public as well as from the world by pretending a good mood toward Cambodia. Mr Thaksin is a conflict centre, SMARTH ! HA !.
But we're Khmer telling them do not dream, even you're superior Militarily your Yellow Shirt will be birned.

God bless khmer all!

Thaksin is in Pattani , I seen him there.

We support 4:21. Thaksin is inside Hun Sen compound, between PPenh and Koh Kong.

Return to us asap the fugitive Thaksin. Otherwise we will use force to capture Thaksin from your compound. We also know that Hun Sen is relying on the VN troops inside cambodia to fight against Thai forces. Try it pow..Hun Sen. We also know that there are amny VN troops massing in Oral mountain, Preah Cheterous mountain (Oudong)with tanks and missiles.

Try it my friends VN and Hun Sen to fight against our Thai tanks and jet fighters.

Khmer, in Surin.

Good answer Tea Banh ! Thaksin was not in Cambodia because you did not meet Thaksin. If Thai knew Thaksin was in Cambodia, why didn't they inform Cambodian authority? Bravo, good answer.

I believe RTAF.
Thaksin Shinawatra was in Cambodia.

I do not believe these Mother Fucker in Phnom Penh (MF Hun Sen, MF Tea Banh and all MF CPP members).

Because these MF are all criminals.

These MF assassinate and murder innocent Khmer peoples.
