The National Anti-Corruption Commission is ready to decide on Tuesday whether to indict 36 people including ministers of the Samak Sundaravej cabinet and state officials charged in connection with the cabinet approval on June 17 last year for Thailand to sign a joint communique with Cambodia without seeking advice from parliament, NACC member Somluck Jadkrabuanpol said on Monday.

The joint communique was to support Cambodia's application to list the Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site.

The NACC on Nov 13 last year decided to press charges against the Samak cabinet members, except four who were absent, for negligence of duty and violation of Article 190 of the constitution, and certain state officials for malfeasance.

Mrs Somluck said the anti-graft agency has thoroughly studied the investigation report on the case and would tomorrow decide whether to indict the 36 accused.

Of the 36, four are members of the current government. They are Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart, Deputy Finance Minister Pradit Pattaraprasit, Information and Communication Minister Ranongrak Suwanchawee, and Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul.

THESE 36 PEOPLE SHOULD THEN SPEAK THE TRUTH BEFORE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE TWISTED HISTORIES BEING TAUGHT AT SCHOOLS IN THAILAND. THEY WOULD STILL BE ARRESTED, BUT THE TRUTH IS DESERVED BY THE THAI PUBLIC.

THE 36 PEOPLE SHOULD BASE ON INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND TREATIES, AND HISTORICAL FACTS, NOT INVENTED, NOT TWISTED ... ONLY TRUTH CAN PUT A COUNTRY IN LONG-TERM STABILITY.

Those thirty six people must know what they were doing. They may be guilty of not seeking the advise of the parliament, but don't the Thai's parliament know Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia? Thailand's parliament seems ignorant and greedy. Now, their secret of holding on to what they don't suppose to have is full blown exposing. Like it Thailand?

Thai has not shame. 50 years from now they all will speak Vietnamese. As of now, Lao and Cambodia already on their way. It may be too late, but Thai still can try: sincerely apology to Cambodia, and Lao, and then be pro-actively helping to build these two countries strong to have a buffer zone. Ignore at your own peril.
