Protesters read statements; PM expresses regret over clashes near temple


BANGKOK, Sept 20 (TNA) -- Representatives of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) read out two statements at Pha Mor E-Dang, close to the disputed area, claiming Thai sovereignty in the matter while Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday he is saddened over clashes between protesters and local residents near the disputed Thai-Cambodian border zone in Si Sa Ket.

Thirty protesters of the PAD Sunday read out two statements at Pha Mor E-Dang, close to the disputed area, asserting the demand that the disputed area around Preah Vihear temple belongs to Thailand.

Veera Somkwamkid, a leader of the PAD protesters, told a news conference that Thai Army chief Gen Anupong Paochinda should use martial law as a tool to push back the Cambodians to return to their homeland.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday he is saddened over clashes between protesters and local residents, and police who tried to end the discord near the disputed Thai-Cambodian border zone adjacent to the ancient temple of Preah Vihear which left many persons injured on Saturday.

In his weekly television and radio address, Mr. Abhisit said his government is not sitting idly over the disputed 4.6-square-kilometre area and that negotiations continue with the Cambodian government which will lead to an eventual troop withdrawal from the area.

Several dozen PAD protesters and villagers living in Si Sa Ket province and police were injured in Saturday’s clash.

Emphasising that Thailand has not lost its sovereignty in the area, Mr. Abhisit said the border problem is being solved through negotiations and that Thailand would be impacted if clashes occurred and it would also affect relations with its neighbour as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Both Thailand and Cambodia are ASEAN members. Security officials permitted the demonstrators to read statement so that the situation could return to normal, said Mr. Abhisit, adding that the protesters should end their activities after reading them.

The International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that the Preah Vihear temple belongs to Cambodia. Tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border, especially at the disputed area, have been seen after the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) granted Cambodia’s application for Preah Vihear temple to be designated a World Heritage Site in July 2008.

Thai yellow shirt must know that the Si Sa Ket people were former khmers, so they hate yellow shirt mod so much.
Si Sa Ket people want to become khmer because they need to live peacefully as khmer people do everyday.

Dear PAD:
You are not welcoming in this area. Go back, where you are coming.
This area belongs to the Khmer descents and not siems.

According to Cambodia's spokeperson, 5 people were killed and 71 more were injured during the morning and evening clashes.

As usual, Thai medias seemed to be baised.

Yes, agreed that everything is Siamese today were borned out of Khmer. However, how many Thieves will bow down and accept the truth?

Indeed, the Siamese language is a derivative of Khmer with tonal inflection from Chinese. Looked how they altered written language, so it does not 100% Khmer.

I don't care about whatever Thai do at the Preas Vihear Temple , if we loss any piece of land to Thai , Hun Sen will be responsible because he don't want to take that case to the UN .

Don't believe whatever you see on DAP news about Preas Vihear conflict because they are so pro-government and they lie alot just to make the government look good. The first time fighting broke out at the border between Khmer and Thai soldiers ,DAP said over 30 Thai soldiers have been killed and a few Tanks have been destroyed but, there was no Tanks involved in the fighting .

Read the statement very careful and you can see what it means.

First the yellow shirts told their army chief to use marshal law.

Ah Siem! you need to use marshal law to your own people only; you can't use marshal law to apply on other foreign country citizen.

Ah Siem PM stated that Thai sovereignty doesn't lost yet so it mean "4.6km area that Thai claims is belonging to Cambodia and they want to claim it as their own".

How is the stupidity Ah Siem is, but they want to claim their piece of the pie too because Ah Sen gave away Khmer land to Hanoi.

Whether DAP news is true or not does not matter. Even if you are among the participants, you will never know. For the previous clashes, DAP news gave similar account to that of Cambodge Soir (?) whose reporter questioned Khmer soldiers (who helped carry the death Thai soldiers) battled with them.

One should not ALWAYS view the issue in favor of a political party. But, we should judge the issue and share the views in a neutral way.

I have no idea why we fight like three stooges we are brothers & brothers unless they mixed race like others meant higher society.
We dark skin always low society.
Like Thai rock group LOSO meant Los Society the lead singer is Khmer/Khorat not Thai everything educated in Thai but once you at home its your mother tongue language. Khmer/Thai/Laos same ancestor difference nationality.

I am laughing so loud that the PAD Thai leader claim that "Veera Somkwamkid, a leader of the PAD protesters, told a news conference that Thai Army chief Gen Anupong Paochinda should use martial law as a tool to push back the Cambodians to return to their homeland."

This is Cambodian's land!!!!

Motherfucker PAD so stupid!!!

Si Sa Ket is also Khmer province!!!

They should learn how to accept reality. We (KHMER) had lost so much already and we took that reality.

If you Thai once to know just read the history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The PAD is a new political maneuver that thais use to stir up the Preah Vihear conflict. They withdrew some of their soldiers from the area, now they use these protesters to cause more problems. If they enter Preah Vihear, they will be at danger to themselves. The Cambodian soldiers will be shooting at them.

I bet YOUNS are happy to see Thais and Khmers fight because they will get benefit from this.


- When Khmwers and Thais don't get along, Youns will be in charge of economy.
- They will also gain power as Hun Sen depends on them logistically or even militarily.So Hun Sen has to please Youns even more.
- While Khmwers and Thais having a conflict, it's a graet bopportunity for Youns to encroach into Khmer sovereingty even more.

- YOUNs are laughing at Hun Sen's stupidity as they already enjoying their land (thousands of kilometers)grabbed from Khmers.

If Siams claim that Preah Vihea belong to them and want to push Cambodians back into Cambodia, I should suggest the Khmer Government to tell them that the whole country of Siam belongs to Khmer, and therefore the Khmer government must push them back to China. It sounds very reactive, but it's true and makes sense.

I can not believe the Thai think they can boss Cambodians around.
Nobody is that studpid. They are very narrowminded people. Cambodians are not just give up their land period. The PAD leader needed reality check. They leaded their followers the wrong direction. Each time they gather protesters, each time they destroy their country. Nothing good come out from them. Turmoil after turmoil. They are the curse for Thailand.

Thailand, u are too cheap to own the temple.
