[Thai] Govt should approach Cambodia first

26/11/2009
Bangkok Post

The government should open talks with Cambodia to resolve the dispute between both countries, former foreign minister Surakiart Sathirathai said on Thursday.

Speaking at a seminar on Cambodian issues at the Faculty of Political Science of Chulalongkorn University, Mr Surakiart said there were many factors contributing to the continuing rift between the two countries such as past conflicts, overlapping maritime areas, the border crisis around the ancient Preah Vihear Temple and Thailand's political problems, especially the activities of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Nationalistic tensions on both sides should be reduced and the Thai government should revise its strengths, weaknesses and bargaining power to analyse the Cambodian government's next move, he said.

"The Thai government should organise bilateral talks with other countries to clarify the Thai-Cambodian situation," Mr Surakiart said. "The Thai government should also approach Cambodian government first to show its seniority and pressure the Cambodian government to explain different bilateral issues."

What Thailand needed to do is, stop being greeds and taken advantaged on poor cambodian, and stop looks down on cambodian people, by shooting an unarmed people that just seeking for works in Thailand, there's a law! all thais authority need to do is punish them under the law! and don't just open fire at an unarmed people like wild animals..!! cambodia caught too many Thais nationals crossing over to cambodia, but we never hurts or harm any of Thais people, we asking questions and turns them back safety...Why Thais black soldier has to shoot an unarmed khmer people??????

Presure? My evil prime minister hates this word. He does not want anyone to put presure on him. He is a dictator, you know?. there is anyother way to deal with him. You, Thai people must learn from Hanoi how to deal with Hun Sen. If you know the trick, Hun Sen, the dictator can be your good and loyal servant like he does to Vietnam.

Thai black soldiers killed civilian Khmer people? Who cares? Your prime minister (Hun Sen) does not care for those people. If Thailand wants to close border? They can close. This is what Hun Sen said. He does not care for people who live a long border and many khmer people who work in Thailand for just surviving. Who cares? Hun Sen is not going to dye from closing the border.

Look how Thai government care for their people. Only one man who is in jail in Cambodia, now Thai government does every thing to get him free even it means to make Hun Sen happy. They can do that. This is to show how they care for their own people.

You khmer people, your lives are so cheap. So kill you like wild animal, what wrong with that. Your prime minister does not care.

Thai must pay at any costs they damaged to Cambodia; including diplomatic relations and the burned down Khmer market on the stair case of Preah Vihear temple.
