[Thai] Activists hold forum on disputed Preah Vihear temple with Cambodia

SI SA KET, Dec 26 (MCOT online news) -- Leaders of the activist Yellow Shirt group, the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) Sunday conducted a public forum in the northeastern Thai province of Si Sa Ket on the historic ruins of the ancient Preah Vihear temple, disputed with neighbouring Cambodia.

More than 500 people attended the forum while top PAD leaders retired Maj- Gen Chamlong Srimuang and Pipop Thongchai demanded that the Thai government to revoke the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Thailand and Cambodia in 2000.

The two PAD core leaders also urged supporters to join a major rally to be held in the Thai capital in late January.


The International Court of Justice at The Hague in the Netherlands in 1962 ruled that the 11th century temple belongs to Cambodia.

UNESCO named it a World Heritage site in 2008 after Cambodia applied such status. Cambodia submitted a management plan for the temple recently to the UNESCO World Heritage Commission, which deferred its decision until next year.

Both countries claimed a 1.8 square mile (4.6 sq km) tract of land near the cliff-top Preah Vihear temple.

ខ្ញុំបាននិយាយច្រើនដងហើយ សៀមមិនបោះបង់ចោលមហិច្ឆិតារបស់គេទេ៕ គេប្រើយុទ្ធសាស្រ្តរឹង និងទន់ ដើម្បីបំភ័ន្ទយើង។

បើយើងធ្វេសប្រហែស គេពិតជាឈ្នះយើងហើយ។ អ្វីដែលនៅសេសសល់សំរាប់យើងគឺការឈឺចាប់ ដោយសារចិត្តទន់ ត្រចៀកស្រាល ស៊ីជោរ តាមការបញ្ចើញលើកជើងរបស់គេ។

AH Chamlong Srimuang and AH Pipop Thongchai are a lone thief on Khmer land and it has been a long time that they try to use innocence Thai people to steal Khmer property and land in the name of patriotism to advance his political status in Thailand but so far the Thai people are not so stupid as them and they refused! And being a career criminal AH Chamlong Srimuang and AH Pipop Thongchai are willing to do the dirty work themselves!

If these two career criminals want to demand something that doesn't belong to them and risk bullets and the landmine and let them come and there will be a special place for them in hell!

Thai (Thailand) should not concern the Preah Vihear temple. The Preah Vihear temple is in Cambodia, and it belongs to Cambodia, Khmer built this temple. Thai (Thailand) should know the fact that who built the temple, and Thailand formerly Cambodia territory, so there's no questions concerning this temple.
