Hun Sen stressed that even though "we will not avoid to use force, our stance is still to deal with the issues with peaceful way, Cambodia does not need war."Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday (September 28) said with strong words that Cambodia and Thailand do not have overlapping land of 4.6 square km near 11th century Khmer Preah Vihear temple.
"That area is Cambodian soil," Hun Sen said at a opening ceremony of the new Tourism Ministry building in Phnom Penh downtown.
"Thailand is using their own map which was drawn unilaterally to take land from Cambodia such as 4.6 km square near Preah Vihear Temple," Xinhua quoted Hun Sen as saying.
Hun Sen had said that Thai "yellow T-shirt" protesters rallied at the area near Preah Vihear temple to demand Cambodian troops and villagers move out from the land of 4.6 square km near the temple. "They are extremists and have ambitions," he said.
State-run Xinhua said Hun Sen warned that he has told his military commander that if the Thai "yellow T-shirt" protesters forced their way into the area, Cambodian troops could use force.
He said he has ordered his troops to shoot anyone found illegally crossing a disputed border with Thailand.
His remarks came a little over a week after Thai protesters rallied at the site near the Preah Vihear temple, where seven soldiers were killed when tensions flared last year.
"If they enter again, they will be shot," Hun Sen told officials.
"Troops, police and all armed forces must adhere to the order ... for invaders, shields are not used but bullets are used," the said in the speech at the opening ceremony for Cambodia's new Ministry of Tourism building.
The Prime Minister also rejected the declaration by Thai leaders that the road Cambodia built to Preah Vihear temple is joint sharing for using. "This road was built on Cambodian soil and it did not have joint share with Thai side. I am so sorry for your comment," he said, adding "you have confused the matter of this street."
However, Hun Sen stressed that even though "we will not avoid to use force, our stance is still to deal with the issues with peaceful way, Cambodia does not need war."
Cambodian and Thai troops have confronted each other since July 15, 2008 at the areas near Khmer Preah Vihear temple after Cambodia registered the temple as the World Heritage Site in July 7, 2008.

Excellent said PM Hun Sen. You are wiser now. But until you tell the Viets to stop encraoching, I still shout at you as usual.

Way to go Samdech Deyco Hu Sen.

If Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana (Pechr-ratn) daughter of King Vajiravudh (Rama I) were to be born as a man, she would have been crowned as Rama VII of Thailand. Cambodia and Thailand would probably live in peace side by side since her mother Princess Suvadhana was of Khmer descent from Battambang provice!
Hun Sen said it correctly this time. Thai can be shot if trepassing our border. There is no 4.6km overlapping territory. We already have an internally recognized border. This is an issue created by the PAD in 2008 to incite Thai hatred toward the past Samak government and hatred toward us Khmer.
Jaiyo Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen!
I applaud Samdech Akka Moha Sena Decho Hun Sen stance on the Preah Vihear issue to defend Cambodian territory. History will make note of his heroic effort to safeguard Cambodian territorial integrity Similary to our King Father Samdech Preah Sihanouk, the Great.
Mr Hun Sen you better prepare to match your words with action, otherwise don't bother to bark. You should be tough with ah siam thief long time ago because they play game with you all long...cut the damn tie with them....they have more benefit than us.
Our glory Moha Nokor past was long gone...too much territory was lost over the past 700 years to our neighbors. Not another square centimeter should lost to intruders. Khmer should keep in mind our glory heritage as noted in our national anthems "Nokor Reach" and "Pongsavoda Khmer"

hUN sEN,
hOW ABOUT vIET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ENTERING cAMBODIA eVERY dAY BY HUNDREDS, AND NOW THERE ARE OVER 5 MILLION vIETS THROUGHOUT cAMBODIA, ESPECIALLY IN tONE sAP ALONE WITH OVER THREE MILLIONS OF THEM.
tHAI cANNOT tRESPASS INTO cAMBODIA, BUT ONLY vIETS CAN COME IN FREELY EVERYDAY.
aH hUN, CAN YOU ORDER TO SHOOT vIET ILLEGAL FLOCKING IN cAMBODIA TOO, OTHERWISE YOU'RE A vIET SLAVE.
When PM Hun Sen stands up to Siam, I am with him all the way.
When PM Hun Sen terrorizes innocent Khmer people, I oppose him 100%
I think It's not really a big issue about Preah Vihear and It's not supposed to take this long if our Cambodian government send these issues to international court and we don't need to waste time, waste gas, or waste our government budgets...(listen to Mr.Sean Pengse from France said I think He 's right, because the 1962 court already granted to Cambodia...), but what I most worried about are our sealand and our border with Vietnam if they are moving in or not?
Koun Khmer,
11:54 YOU R ARE A VIETSLAVE, YOU MORON, THATS WHY YOU ARE SO MAD..................YOU VIETSLAVE.....
My opinion:
Thai have most advances weapon=Cambodia no.
Thai have service selective=Cambodia no.
In case the war break up Cambodia need master Viet soldiers =Cambodia lost all the way.
But if we do not try we do not know,like 1960,61 and 62 My farther had told me our soldier were very good and handle the Thai very easy they climbed Dong Rek mountain to kill Thai by the wines also the artillery commander was so excellence ,destroyed a lot Siam dimes .
I hope this memory come back in the present time.
Good luck Cambodian people!
Every neighbour needs to respect each other boundary in order to keep its own citizen in place or otherwise if war occurs again, it will go into another chaos. We asian nations need to find solutions for peace in order to protect our future generation from harm and finding ways to protect all individuals as well like; all for one and one for all and that everyone is equally important regardless who they are or where come from. Asian nation needs to create an international security net to protect everyone to may travel to and from each other country. We Asian nation must reach a common goal and common interest for the best of our society and when one nation needs help the rest must come together as one. We must use the system like European nations, creating a one currency of "Euro" or Maybe we can call our currency as "Asiano or "Asian-mono". Just remember the power of love, compassion, share, and respect can be conquered. So, I have one request from Thai, back of and respect Khmer land, or Viet and chiness will be behind us and I don't want any more blood shed for all any Asian nation, so in peace my friends.
New Phally (used paramilitary),
I know many of my firends were used to bear arms and fight against Viet Cong during 1970-75 agression and ended up fighting Viet Cong's KR and Viet Cong's PRK again when they came with Hun Sen invitation on 25 December 1978 once more.
Where were you then?
Remember Siam hasn't gotten a meter of Khmer land since Khmer Rouge taught them how to read map in 1977 along western border i.e Phoum Kor,Russei Srok,Phoum Daung etc..No need for your paramilitary expertise now.
But Yuon got plenty of Khmer land after 7 January 1979,would you be interested to offer your used paramilitary expertise and be at front line with Hun Sen to fight Yuon for the lost land?
I am curious since you seemed to be a patriot at Hun Sen's marching order.
Why bother talking with them since all it leaders one government after another government always said that "Gen Anupong said that all the border talks would be the responsibility of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission for the Demarcation of Land Boundararies".
HUN SEN must tell them to go back to Nunjao or Yunan!!
Now it's land of CAMBODIA smile, them Thai denial from bottom to top. This is the only one agreed with him "I am a real dog now".
