Suthep: No plan to close border

10/11/2009
Bangkok Post

The government has no plan to close border checkpoints with Cambodia as they are also trading areas for people of both countries, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said on Tuesday morning.

“As I am in charge of national security, I will do my best to ensure that Thai people living along the border can continue their daily lives as normal,” Mr Suthep said, adding that he will also protect the country’s sovereignty.

The deputy premier said he had no idea whether ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had arrived in Phnom Penh, but if he ever learns he is there he would ask his Cambodian counterpart to approve the fugitive politician's extradition.

Mr Suthep said he believed Thaksin wants to use Cambodia as a political base to hurt Thailand. He hoped Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen would not allow that to happen.

He said he had made no decision yet on whether to contact Mr Hun Sen directly on the matter.

Suthep and Adbishit, why don't you go ahead to close the border as you threaten Cambodia? If you do so the people in provinces along Cambodian border and business people who do their business in Cambodia will kill you. Stupid guys!

Hi guys,

If you support SRP, please don't insult Thailand's government and PAD. You guys should aware that SRP has signed alliance agreement with Democrat party of current Thai's PM. So, we should support each other and attack to Hun Sen and Thaksin.

Sorry 2:01 PM.

Sam Rangsy reportedly refused the offer as "Adviser" to Thai government.
This proves that Khmer unified as one against common enemy.

So please don't try to light up separatio nof Khmer.

Suthep,

What happens now? Are you scared?

We survived the KR and for sure we will survive your border closure.

Go ahead and make my day!

In fact, even though you don't close your border, I have already stopped buying anything made in Thailand.

Whatever alliance agreement PAD made with Sam Rainsy, the supporters of Sam Rainsy will always love Cambodia and hate PAD. If you want supporters of Sam Rainsy to help you, you must love Cambodians first and stop looking down on Khmer people. Stop creating more problems for Cambodia.

If you continue to make more problems for Cambodia, we, the supporters of Sam Rainsy will help send you (PAD) to hell!

Long Time and Strong Supporter of Sam Rainsy!

Sure, Hun Sen is smart but he's smart at eliminating his khmer opponents. As of now we don't know how many khmers he killed during his tenure as Khmer Rouge. But what we do know is 16 demonstrators were killed when he ordered his bodyguards to throw grenade at them, and 100's if not 1000's of Ranaridth supporters were killed execution style when he stage the coup in 1997. To me, Hun Sen is smart at commiting crimes against his own people only.
