Thailand wants Preah Vihear signs removed

January 23, 2011
The Nation

Thailand has asked Cambodia to remove a carved stone and a big sign accusing Thais of being trespassers near Preah Vihear mountain.

Lt-General Tawatchai Samutsakorn, commander of the Second Army Region, said Thai authorities had made the request because the stone and the sign - with golden Cambodian characters accused Thai soldiers and people of being trespassers in Cambodia - were in a disputed area.

The sign is in front of Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara, a temple near Preah Vihear mountain.

According to an agreement by the two countries, neither Thailand or Cambodia can produce anything to claim possession of the land.

The accusation refers to Lt-General Kanok Netrakavaesana, who led 20 soldiers to the temple on July 15, 2008 before others came to guard the place.

Thai, you should know the fact that there's lot temples in Thailand that belonge to Cambodia and Cambodia's territories. Why can Thai joint temples with Cambodia? You don't have to tell us to remove the sign, it's our right and it's in our country land.

What King Sihanouk had said franch, they got one hero in every 100 years and he said, Khmer got one hero in 800 hundred years, Hun sen is a hero indeed.The king was right, Wasn't he?.
If you stile think your boss is the real khmer compatriot, thinks it again, to me he is just a chinese vendor who try to make aliving by the name of Khmer compatriot, looke at bunch of SRP are they capable to do anythings? they worth nothing wasn't it right? if he Sam rainsy was a real Khmer compatriot he should call on to UN or USA or European union or he arouse Khmer unity against pol pot during darknes time, it is not now for him to stand up for Khmer intrest, when we already having peace and progressing. Now you clearly see Sam rainsy family from father to son are cheated Khmer for their own wealthy rich,Now you know that don't you? Now we are in peace and being establish our country in every feild and in every sectors to catch up with our neighboring countries I think you sould use your wisdom to help and to contribute in rebuilding cambodia and stope your blind believe in serving individaul and thos selfishnes who looking to grab power by acttacking your own nation. If you continue to writ the article base on your own benificial or interest in your own group you will never show the truth to the truth of the real issue. Mike

This guy, MIKE is not Khmer from Lowell as he claimed.
He must be Yourn.

He said that "Sam Raing Sy's assessment of 4-5 million of illegal Yourn immigrant in Cambodia was just a propaganda to make Hun Sen looks bad, if there are 1 to 3 ratio of Khmer/ Yourn, you could have seen them every where among Khmer in Cambodia"

Facts:
-There were at least 12 Yourns killed in the Koh Pich incident.
-12 houses of the 60 burnt by the fire in Chrang Cham ress last week were Yourns.
-99 per cents of people in Phsar chass are Yourns
- In Ton Leh Sab stretching to Kpg Chnang full of Yourns.
- Chbar am Pov, Neak Leurng, Kpg Cham Bor veth are full of Yourns.
- A Yourn woman in the US went to Cambodia and came back proudly shown the pictures of Yourn villages in Cambodia to her co-workers.

-In MIKE house are full of Yourns.

MIKE IS BLIND LIKE HUN SEN OR HIDING THE FACTS
