Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on has ordered security officials to prevent Thai people from fighting one another over the Thai-Cambodian disputed border around Preah Vihear temple.
Yellow-shirt protesters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) clashed with Si Sa Ket villagers on Saturday as they were trying to enter the disputed border area. The clash resulted in scores of injuries from both sides.
Second Army Region commander Wiboonsak Neephan will coordinate with the police, provincial governors and other agencies to prevent this type of incident from happening again, Gen Prawit said.
"The government, particularly the security units, will make sure the country will not lose its sovereignty. Everything must be done in line with procedures," said the defence minister.
He said it would not be necessary to deploy more troops at the disputed border near the ancient temple at the moment.
"Cambodia understands the situation in Thailand, and both governments have always been closely working together," he said.
Gen Prawit said he supported the idea of invoking the Internal Security Act during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Hua Hin and Cha-am next month, but it must not affect local people in the areas.
He said he had discussed this with Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who is in charge of security affairs.
"I would like the red-shirt protesters not to gather when the summit is being held as it is an international event," he said.

My Thai and Thai people, you all should know the fact history of Thailand, your teacher, proffesor, etc. taught you wrong history. My wife is Thai she even says that in Thailand they teach wrong history. She knews the fact of Thai history, however they twisted history to teach the next generation. She says there's lot of Khmer temples can be proved in Thailand formerly Khmer land.
Angkorian Krama Man
Who really care about what your wife said? No offense Krama Man but your wife is no historian or expert, being a Thai does not qualify her to make truth statement about Khmer history. If that were the case, we can take every thing the Thais said to be truth, even the ones that say Cambodia belong to Thailand.
And do you even have a Thai wife or is that your day time fantasy? You been here for quite a while now with that name, never heard anything of your expert Thai wife before until now.
What is a married man like you doing running amok on forums?
enough is enough about Preah Vihear Temple wich is belong to Cambodia and the Khmer people since it was built.
stop using The Temple just to grab power among Thai...
Siem People you will never be a part of our Preah Vihear.
