The Phnom Penh Post
Cambodia officials have sent military reinforcements to the border area near Preah Vihear temple in the midst of a public spat with Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva over the removal of Cambodian flags at a nearby pagoda.On Friday, Abhisit requested that the flags be removed from Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvara, adjacent to the temple, a plea that came amid reports of a Thai plan to hold military exercises close to Preah Vihear.
Srey Doek, commander of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Military Division 3 at the border, said additional personnel, tanks and heavy artillery had been dispatched to the border on Friday in response to the exercises.
“They [Thai troops] are doing maneuvers and we are also doing them – that is why we need to send tanks and other weapons to the border,” Srey Doek said. “Our armed forces are on alert.”
Information minister Khieu Kanharith said today that the situation could erupt “this afternoon or tomorrow” if the Thais threatened Cambodia’s construction of a road leading up to Preah Vihear.
“Our stance is that [Thai troops] should not cross the border without Cambodian agreement,” he said.
Tensions in the area first broke out in 2008 following the inscription of Preah Vihear as a UNESCO World Heritage site for Cambodia.
The confrontation over the flags follows Thai demands that Cambodia remove a stone tablet placed last month at Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvara which read: “Here! is the place where Thai troops invaded Cambodian territory on July 15, 2008, and withdrew at 10:30am on December 1, 2010.”
On Tuesday last week, the sign was removed and replaced with another proclaiming, “Here! Is Cambodia”, a sign that was itself later destroyed at Thailand’s request.
Abhisit’s call for the removal of Cambodian flags from Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvara, however, has been rejected outright.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected Abhisit’s request, saying the pagoda was on Cambodian territory.
The ministry claimed the demand was made “in parallel with Thailand’s military exercises at the border”, which were “clearly provocative and [constitute] a casus belli for future acts of aggression against Cambodia”.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation wishes to emphasise that this statement made by the prime minister of Thailand is unacceptable and that the Kingdom of Cambodia firmly rejects such an insulting demand,” the statement read.
“Cambodia reserves its legitimate rights to [defend] its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
In his weekly television programme today, Abhisit reportedly pledged to work with Cambodia to have the flags near Preah Vihear removed.
“The temple is located on the disputed border area, and if the claim by the Yellow Shirt people is true, the government will coordinate with Cambodian authorities to remove the flag,” Abhisit said in Davos, Switzerland, according to The Bangkok Post.
Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia intensified last month following the arrest of Thai parliamentarian Panich Vikitsreth and six other Thai nationals for trespassing on Cambodian territory.
Panich and four of the other Thais were found guilty but released earlier this month on suspended sentences.
However, two others including Yellow Shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid are being held on espionage charges and are set to be tried on Tuesday.
They have also been charged with illegal entry and unlawfully entering a military base, facing up to 11 and a half years in prison.

ThaiLand is doing the right things.
As long as Cambodia has VIOLATED the 23 October 1991 peace Agreement
Thailand has the rights to do so...
If Vietnam can do Thailand and Laos can do too.
There is nothing wrong with that, due to PARIS PEACE AGREEMENT.
I say Thailand's doing the great job!
Invade as much as Thai can do....
If Viet can do same as Thai and Laos, doing their part.
Thank You Thai...
I agreed with you the first comment. Ah Hun Sen can only dealt with Thai land stolen, but let The Vietcong stole Khmer land as much as they want in the day time. Ah Kwak is doing none thing about it.
Khmer people should rise up against this dictator if you want your freedom. Don't let Ah Kwak grab your land and give it to foreigner. Uprise as Egyptian and Tenosian people just did recently.
Why the hell is that Cambodian officer sitting in front of the first armored vehicle wearing desert terrain camouflage?
Hun Sen will shit his pants, bark like a dog and grab his stick when it comes to Thailand disputing a small squared kilometers of land with Cambodia. However, he's given over hundreds upon hundreds of squared kilometers of Cambodian land to Vietnam from 1979 'til today.
Hun Sen, why don't you just give some western frontier land to Thailand? Forget this whole dispute, make Thailand and yourself happy just like what you have done with Vietnam. Sharing is caring. Don't you, your family and your cronies want more money? By selling off these land, you will be rich. You don't have to worry about the Cambodian people protesting because you Hun Sen win in every situation.

The way you are thinking goes along with your broken English writing styles. Therefore, nobody minds about your opinions.
I do hope Thailand has waiting for long time to respect the "PARIS PEACE AGREEMENT" but the Viet has done the different from Thailand:
1) 7 Millions Viet are living in Khmer land but Thailand noting, only businessmen
2) Viet take more Land from the East border but Thailand only 4.2 KM2 at Preach Vihear (to late)
As real Khmer we are waiting for you to save us from Viet, if you don't do it Thailand will be the next goal of Viet.
Khmer Angkor
dear brothers 1:51 AM,
"I agreed with you the first comment. Ah Hun Sen can only dealt with Thai land stolen, but let The Vietcong stole Khmer land as much as they want in the day time. Ah Kwak is doing none thing about it. "
Not only nothing but he warn us (Khmer) and provide us coffin when one of our Khmers people talking against his Boss Viet. Please all Khmer don't lay down your head for ever, if you all do you will always loser, God can never help you and that is your karma.
To show all Khmer people agree and understand your government (CPP) you must [Troops reinforced at tense border] at North, East, West and South of Khmer's Land. Don't play game CPP we are not stupid and agree with your game. You got to remember you'll not live for ever when you die you will die on unnatural's way.

1:20AM,
Fuck you Ah Thailand, you are Khun Thai, we have the right to fly our national flag at Wat Keo Sikkha Kiri Svara temple, it's in Cambodia territories. Thailand should not tell Cambodia to take the flag off. Now you (Thailand) wants to create war with Cambodia, we are not affraid go to war with Ah Fucking Thai, Thai Kindom. Moun Koav Chai Mai?
Cambodia needed not to bring Thai
to world court again,because the ICJ has granted the legal ownership
to Cambodia since June 15, 1962 100%.
It up to Cambodian Government and her people to stand up protecting
their homeland if individual Thai or
foreign troops dare to invade Cambodia territorial integrity, every Khmer citizens has to defend
by our utmost mighty force.And at the same time the Cambodian Government has to report to the
World court for Thai has infringed
Cambodian territory which the world
Court adjudicated 100% to Cambodia
1962.

Your English is ain't good as his either ,moron.
Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,
Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?
Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?
Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?
If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?
If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?
Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?
What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?
If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?
If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?
If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why
Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?
Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?
When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?
Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!
Khmers victim of 1997 and K5
PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.
Ah CHHKAE CPP why don't your protected the border with Vietcong too why only the Siamese? Don't tell me your are so scares of the Vietcong asshole, if your realy strong and braves your have to protected all the border with the neighbor not only the Siamese OK mother fucker.
When the Viet order Hun Sen to jump, he does not say no.
But instead he asks the Viet:
“How high, bosses?”
stop provoking cambodia, siem pad thugs and their street politics garbage! always barking on the wrong tree!
cambodia should sue the siem pad thugs and their leaders for provoking cambodia by wanting to steal from cambodia!
THAI MILITARY SAID TAKE TWO HOUR TO CLEAN UP CAMBODIAN MILITARY TANK
BY F-16.
Yes, you are right 5:57AM!. When his boss, Viet orders him to do something, Hoon Xen always gathers his both hands together and bow until his head up to the ground to receive. Yuon enter and live everywhere in Cambodia. This puppet cannot say no.
Rise up Khmer People! It is time for us to pull him down.
What the point to have Southeast Association? Who's the boss?
Yes that's right stand up and fight Dr. Evil Hun Sen. American goverment will supply all weapons for cambodians who love democracy as American and stand up to fight Dr. Evil Hun Sen.
I am sick of F16 please anyone out there put your body with bomb to destroy F16 before it off the ground like Viet did in Dien Bien Po.
A10,F-16 and Apache 64 are you realy?
To 8:08 AM,
Youn winned the Vietnam war by using Khmer land, don't forget, I am not wonder about them. Thai people are not stupid like you think my friend.

Another Hun Sen propaganda to prepare himself for winning another election in 2013. Don't fall for this trap. 4.6 KM belongs to Khmer and no one can take that away from us by force. If CPP so great, why don't you take the Thai back to the international court and be done with it once for all. Because Hun Sen want to continue using Preah Vihear as his tool to win election. Wake up Khmer.
MR. HUN SEN,
YOU CLAIMED THAT YOU ARE THE PEACE MAKER FOR THE CAMBODIANS PEOPLE, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT YOU DID NOT DO ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND STABILITY IN CANBODIA. THE PREAH VIHEA CRISIS MARKS YOUR LACK OF AWARENESS AND STRATEGY TO KEEP PEACE FOR CAMBODIANS.
PLEASE BRING THE PREAH VIHEA CRISIS TO THE U.N. FOR RESOLUTION TO AWOID LIVES LOSS.
THE CAMBODOANS ARE SUFFERING ENOUGH FROM THE WARS, POVERTY, AND DISEASES.
thailand should invaded Cambodia and liberate us from Hanoi...replace Hun Sen regime.
Don't forget, there are two Thai monkeys in Prey Sar Prison that is why the Thai is getting angry.
The two idiots walked into a trap and expect pressure to get him freed.
where did they get their f16 from? i'm sure siem didn't built it themselves!
Hun Sen,
You're doing a great job. Give the Thai a bloody nose for their arrogance.
Throw away the keys for the two Thai monkeys in prison to teach the PADidiots a lesson.
Hun Sen,
Abhisit did not do his job by not arresting the two PADs in Prey Sar Prison for taking over Suvannabum Airport.
You are just doing the job for Abhisit's failure. Keep the two PADthais in prison forever.
I really admire Hun Xen for standing up to the Thais.
It is about time the Thais understand they cannot push people around.
1:18PM! how the stupid blind stand by not go for international laws for help and prefere to take down the signe and justify why motherfucker nees to by old tanks with future price bof mordern tank?
It about time the Thai soldiers face someone who can fire back.
The Thai soldiers kill innocent protesters in Bangkok last year.
The Thai soldiers love to terrorize unarmed refugees.
It's about time the Thai soldiers face gun cannon point back at them.
I wondered how brave the barbaric Thai soldiers will do when bullets start flying.
where did they get their f16 from? i'm sure siem didn't built it themselves!
1:12 PM
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The way you get your underwear, dude!
Where you stupid corrupted father get you a computer and car?
Everyone knows its a waste of time to talk to the Thais. They have been talking for decades now.
The policy now should be:
Mark a line and if the Thais start to cross the line let the bullet fly.
It is better to talk to a duck than to talk with the confused Thai government.
The Americans had all the F16s plus more during the Vietnam War. America lost the war.
The arrogant Siam boast they have second-hand F16s.
Lets prove how effective the Thai idiots can use them.
1:30PM! better go to police than fight with other who 10 times stronger than you!
I like to urge THAI drop J-DAM from F-16 let those J-DAM laser piont to hun sen Banker first and use the IMPERED LIGH to cut off all khmer communist army the midle of nowhere and shoot them

Who knows, maybe Thai PAD and Thai red will take up arms and shoot at each other.
Thais are too intoxicated with arrogance. They think they can push anyone around. Now Hun Xen is standing up to them and it irritates them.
Do you not like Hun Xen because he stands up to Thais?
I think some Thais in here are irritated by Hun Xen because HX locked up the two Thai idiots?
You should hate the PAD trouble makers.
The Thais have no laser guided bomb.
If they did they would have used it on the insurgents in southern province already.
The only thing they will drop is poop in their pants when the bullet start flying.
The trouble makers of Asia are terrorist, North Korea, and the Thai PAD.
The PAD is about to put two countries at war.
The PAD is not satisfied with pulling down two of their Thai governments. They are so arrogant they are attempting to put two countries at war.
Spineless Abhisit is doing nothing to put a stop to the PAD madness.
Abhisit's boss is the PAD.
PAD is currently unhappy with their patron, PM Abhisit so PAD terrorist is forcing Abby to scratch memorandum of understanding with Cambodia, use force to get rid of Cambodian people in the disputed area.
Cambodia cannot negotiate with the unstable Thai gov't, much less the lawless PAD criminals.
Bunch of idiots! This is why khmer empier lands were lost, because khmer don't stick together(United), but instead, they asking enemy to help destroy their home..? Please drop the bombs on my home? drop the bombs on my mother and my father's head..? Whats an idiots people?? I just don't understand you idiots trying to do here..? Asking your enemy to rape your mother and your sister??
