PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA informed Thailand on Friday it was canceling a US$41.2 million (S$57 million) loan from Bangkok meant to finance the upgrade of a highway from the Thai border.
Cambodian Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said his country didn't need the loan and could afford to build the road on its own.
The decision comes during a period of bad relations between the two countries over Cambodia's recent welcome to former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a fugitive from Thai justice.
Thai-Cambodian relations took a turn for the worse when Cambodia recently named Thaksin an adviser on economic affairs. The subsequent visit by Thaksin, and Cambodia's rejection of a formal request from Bangkok to extradite him, drew a negative reaction from Bangkok.
Each country has recalled its ambassador and Bangkok has canceled an agreement to negotiate on joint development of offshore territory claimed by both countries. It also said it would review all other assistance agreements and projects with its neighbor.
The secretary to Thailand's foreign minister, Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, downplayed the importance of Phnom Penh's cancellation of the loan to upgrade the 117-kilometer road stretching from Cambodia's northwestern border with Thailand to the province of Siem Reap.

Hun Sen Government acted like a child and like a poor man. When a child is angry and upset, he/she does like this. Soon he stops and smiles again. When a poor man is disappointed, he acts as if he is rich but he is not. Even i am poor, I will not borrow your money. Hun Sen you act like you are rich, but you are not. You persoanlly are rich but your country and your people are not.
Ashame on you! Why did you borrow Thai money? When you are upsent, you said "I do not need to borrow your money". Childish and stupid you!
We, Khmer, have no dignity because of you. You speak like cowboy and gangster.
Under your leadership, thousand of us go to beg money and jobs in Thailand and Vietnam everyday. Thai soldiers kill us everyday.You do not care.
Now you said if Thailand closes border, you do not care. But I care. What will happen to poor people when border is close? It is your job to care well-being of the people along the border.
Because of your eternal friend, Thanksin and personal problem with Thai prime ministe, you made problem to business along the border. You do not care about poor people who live along the border. They live from mouth to foot. Not enough for living. Now you said you do not care.
You said during 1980s, the world sanction Cambodia and you did not dye. The situation is different. If Thailan closes border, who you think will suffer more? The rich or the poor? Please think twice and try to use your limited lobster brain to build peace with your rich neighbors. The only way to build prosperity for Cambodia.
No, it's Thailand who thinks it is all that and therefore Cambodia must bowed to their bullying. It can be good for Cambodia to go without... Cambodia must continue to work hard to strive itself to be self sufficient. We don't need all Thai bullshit about punishing Cambodia for everything a little it does not like. Cambodia can never please Thailand for whatever she try to do. Oh by the way, Cambodia cannot afford to be another foreign puppet.
4:23 Iam gangsta, and iam cambodian, what the fcuk you gonna do about.............FUCK THAILAND..............IT IS T HAILAND THAT ARE ACTING LIKE FUCKING KIDS.....WHY YOU ALWAYS GOPUT DOWN THAT AH HUN........YEAH WE ALL HATE EM........BUT THE MOVE HE DID, IS THE RIGHT MOVE..............WE KHMERS DONT NEED SHIT FROM THE THAI PEOPLE.......FUCK THAILAND
Perfect action, the RGC of Cambodia. The government of Cambodia must do it like this earlier AND always dependent on the foreign aid and the soft loan. We are Khmer must be united and build the nation by our own as we can see the example of our Ancestors who built plenty of temples, roads, bridges, hospitals and lakesl, which left for us till today..!
The RGC must commit in mobilization of its own resources in transparency and accountability manner for the development and sake of our nation, dignity and sovereignty.
SOME CORRECTION:
The first para should read:
"Perfect action, the RGC of Cambodia. The government of Cambodia must do it like this earlier and NOT always dependent on the foreign aid and the soft loan"
I'm glad government canceling the loans, don't let Thailand threaten us like the first grader..kids!
It is stupid to lend money from the enemy anyway. However, a kwak government does not know what to do to lead the country, to help improving life condition of the people other than begging foreign countries for money or aids. A kwak and his clown including Xihanouk are begging and killing others, for a living. the aids that they received they stole them, at least half of them.
Stupid Hun Sen should has known better, why he so fucken cheap put his head down and begging enemy at the first place..?? cambodia should stop begging...
Hun Sen muk krass duch sbek kro bei..! ah thork!
