The planned joint celebration between Thai and Cambodian troops along the Ta Thav Pass frontline has been delayed. Thai troops have decided to delay the celebration originally planned for 25 August, General Chhum Socheat, spokesman of the ministry of Defense, claimed. Chhum Socheat told the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper in the morning of 24 August that: “They informed us [about the cancellation] last week. They did not tell us the cause of the cancellation of this joint celebration. They only told us that they don’t have time, and to wait for next time.” It was Thai troops along the frontline who proposed to hold a joint celebration with Cambodian soldiers stationed along the Ta Thav Pass frontline. Thai soldiers originally asked to hold the celebration on Tuesday 25 August.

Ah Siem is always flip-flop. They never keep their words as Ah Hanoi always does. If they propose next time, Khmer army should response back and said we don't have time for the celebration. Need to be delay later on.

Khmer leaders are stupid to deal with THai. There should not be any joint shit. What the fuck is a joint celebration? We haven't learn yet? The Thai are tricky.

Thais decide not celebrate with Cambodian soldiers, because they were disappointed that they could not win over our temple.

Why not celebrate with them (Thai soldiers), and then greet them with bullets--not flowers. The fact of the matter is that we do not join or celebrate with our enemy, under any circumstances. Yet--in the meantime, I'm quite disquiet with the idea of joining our enemy in any sort of celebration. Mr. Hun Sen must stop this political game; also, we understand that this is part of the internal politics between Cambodian and Thai leaders.
