Did you know?
According to the Op-Ed author, following the 1962 decision by The Hague International Court of Justice to award the ownership of Preah Vihear to Cambodia, Thai troops did not immediately pull out of the temple and the surrounding area. A Cambodian colonel by the name of Teab Ben, who later became the Funcinpec army chief of staff during the resistance to the Vietnamese invasion and occupation of Cambodia, and his troops had put tremendous effort to climb up the mountain and fought with the Thai army before they were able to chase them out of the area. Colonel Teab Ben’s victory paved the way for the pilgrimage by Prince Sihanouk and his entourage to the Preah Vihear temple (see photos above). Unfortunately, nowadays, nobody even remember the name of Colonel Teab Ben and his heroic soldiers. Similarly, a Cambodian lawyer and native son of Kampuchea Krom, Mr. Truong Cang, was one of the major contributors to Cambodia’s successful lawsuit case against Thailand at The Hague International Court of Justice. Immediately after Cambodia won the lawsuit, Mr. Truong Cang was proclaimed the Cambodian Hero for Preah Vihear, but less than 50 years later, nobody even remember his contributions. Isn’t it a shame?
