[Thailand] KOM CHAD LUEK EDITORIAL [-Thailand still look down on Cambodia?]

6/01/2011
Bangkok Post

Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth and six other Thais will now be tried in a Cambodian court after the Thai government officially admitted that they had illegally crossed into Cambodian territory last week.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongpakdee said the ministry had ascertained that Mr Panich and his group unknowingly trespassed into Cambodian territory while investigating Thai villagers' complaints about land ownership.

However, the real issue here is not whether the seven Thais illegally crossed into Cambodian territory. The real problem is Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been exploiting this issue to portray Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as weak. He wants the world to see that Cambodia is stronger than Thailand.

In fact, a large number of Cambodians have been working illegally in Thailand for a long time, while a number of Thai politicians accused of terrorism have fled to Cambodia. How can Phnom Penh explain the case of these Thai political fugitives in view of the arrest of Mr Panich and his companions?


There seems to be no logical explanation for Hun Sen's tough stance against the seven Thais, even though we believe all of them will be granted a royal pardon, as in the case of a Thai technician accused of stealing confidential airport documents related to the flight schedule of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra's visit to Phnom Penh over a year ago.

The case of the seven Thais is all about Hun Sen's arrogance and intention to enhance his leadership by weakening Thailand's image in the eyes of the world.

This situation could be Abhisit political motivation for political gain in Thailand upcoming election that Ahbisit promised to have.

He probably asked or conspired with Hun Sen to have this scenario set up for those 7 Thai to enter Cambodia with secret money flow to Hun Sen (You scratch my back and I'll scratch your back). Ahbisit probably wants to win the election by rescue or negotiate those 7 Thai from Hun Sen and credit it.

Abhisit wants to be Prime Mininster of Thailand. He will let Hun Sen do the same for political gain when there is upcoming election in Cambodia.

It is very interesting to to analyze this situation this way. It is kind of make sense.

Hun Sen has more Crimes than any other in Cambodia' history.
His Crime as follows :

1)- Brought Yuon to Invade Cambodia.

2)- Created K-5 plan.(Aprox. 600,000 Killed)

3)- Bombast in front of the old ASS.

4)- Coup D'etat 1997 (Aprox. 13,000 Killed)

5)- Koh Pich Murder (Aprox 400 Killed)
6)- Cut land to Yuon Enemy

All these crimes are enough evidences for International Prosecution.

I ask all khmer to file International lawsuit against Hun Sen for his "Axis of Evil" on Khmer People. And make The CASE "OO4" for KRT. backed by United Nation.
