Op-Ed by Anonymous Reader MP
By all means pursue legal avenues to regain any Khmer territories/temples (Ta Moan Thom?) currently under Thai control. The Thais, however, having lost the Preah Vihea case at the ICJ are unlikely to co-operate through legal processes, and that is why they always insist on 'bilateral' negotiation - a delaying tactic designed to wear down the political will of their opponents. If pressed, they will likely put forward 'joint-development' proposals which, with their existing superior physical infrastructures such as roads and tourism logistics, will mean that Thailand can resume its pre-dispute position, taking the lion's share in future development of these areas.
It is in Cambodia's interest to transform traditionally conflict scarred regions into zones of peace and development, but this should not override vital national boundary and integrity which must be clearly delineated and defended from further encroachments. Failing to do so will leave future generations with compounded and unfair burdens to bear. They could be your own children or grand children answering the calls of nationalistic duties.
Cambodia should learn from Laos who spent 2 years honing their military prowess, spending millions of dollars on military hardware in the process prior to their effective campaign to seize disputed Mekong islets from Thailand in the late 1980s.
Until such a time when territorial disputes can be amicably settled, Cambodia should be in a position to back up her legitimate claims with telling, concrete measures, rather than being bamboozled to no end with empty gestures from Bangkok.
Lives will be lost and people will be maimed in armed clashes, but just as our ancestors had been compelled to make these sacrifices so that we have a place still to call home, the sacrifice to be made by the soldiers and their families will not be forgotten by a grateful nation.

Just visit

To your stupid smelly Siem arse 9:13 am
I just googled and noticed that Siamese/Thais were once Chinese and Khmer slave from Nanchao. They are so ashamed of their past and now pretends to be better than everyone else and that their shit don't stink. Most of them are Ladyboiz and love to suck on White 'Farang' dicks. So shut the hell up and eat my shit, pussy face. If you are Siamese/Thai and having a bad time with your tiny dicks and smelly pussies, please consider us at:

As a Khmer, I totally agreed with this opinion. Khmer must defend its territory at whatever costs.
Is the current Thai territory not enough? do they want to create another Southern Thailand in Eastern Thailand?
When you forced a dog to a corner, it will fight back.

Cambodian govt should review and take legal action against Siam now. Cambodian PM should a little bit calm down, sometime we lost our temperature and fell in thier tricks. I have recently noted that the thief of Siam PM mentioned so stupid that " he will persue the documents to WHC in 15 July during the WHC meeting and claims that Cambodia accept the 1.8 miles (4.6 sq km) of land belong to Siam". This is so childish and tricky words.
And at the same time, Suthep and 2nd army region chief and Sisaket govenor mentioned so tricks as claimed by our PM Hun Sen.
Only legal action will help Cambodia to claim for the land surrounding temples. The world now knows and understands bout the siam thief already and no will support it.
Can we review the cases with Siemes all the lands that they're stolen from us. Can we're get it back or what? I heard they're stole alots of khmer provines.
To win this war, khmer gov't need to increase in population growth! it is that simple. Migrate more viets. Majority of khmers are half vietkhmers, so let increase more viets and work together for better and stronger both of our nations. Viet has more power than Thai. If Viet say to Thai back off from Khmer, I bet the Thai will back off imediately. So, please call upon our other half and they will be answered. Aust
I simply do not agree to 1:41PM. I don;t to import any people from viet. We are quite experienced in military strategy and tactics in war more than 3 decades. I would simply say that we can use those people in Khmer surin and khmer krom that is military tactic...!
1:42 PM,
Evidently, you Viet/YUON never gives up your century-long plan to take over Cambodia eh? You even have the audacity to say it outloud and in the open now...Damn freaking Viet!!!
